Gary’s Q&A

Listener question & Gary’s response · Transcript passage

Sylvain Charbonneau asks,

Hey Gary! Is there a subject you know you will never talk about in the show?

There are a whole bunch of subjects that I have no desire to talk about. I don’t really want to get into current events. I don’t want to do shows on divisive topics.

If there is one show from history I’m probably not going to do an episode on, it would probably be the Kennedy Assassination.

I’ve actually read quite a bit about the Kennedy Assassination. Probably close to a dozen books in my life. I’ve been to Daily Plaza and been up in the Texas Schoolbook Depository.

The reason why I wouldn’t do an episode on it is that no matter what I say, people would come out of the woodwork who have never listened to the show before to criticize it.

It is a no-win situation. To use a Star Trek reference, it is the Kobayashi Maru of episodes.

Even though it took place sixty years ago, there are still people who are very passionate about it.
