Shortly after US president John F. Kennedy was shot dead, the Warren Commission was convened on 29th November, 1963 to answer the question on everybody\u2019s lips: who did this and why?\nThe shooting of America\u2019s young president was a moment of trauma for many Americans, but when the commission returned its findings, most people were happy with their conclusions. However, as the years progressed conspiratorial thinking increasingly began to take hold. By the end of the 1970s, 81% of people surveyed believed that the murder of Kennedy was a result of a conspiracy.\xa0\nIn this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly discuss why people stopped believing the official story they had been told; investigate why many people believe the CIA has continually tried to obfuscate the true story; and reveal whether the assassination was the work of mob bosses, Cubans, Soviets, the CIA or all of the above\u2026\xa0\xa0\nFurther Reading:\n\u2022 \u2018Warren Commission\u2019 (History.com, 2018): https://www.history.com/topics/1960s/warren-commission\xa0\n\u2022 \u2018Report of the President's Commission on the Assassination of President John F.
