Across the UK, across continental North America, and around the world, on the internet by webcast and podcast, my name is Howard Hughes, and this is a special edition of the Unexplained.

Why special you ask, because after a wait, and a lot of persistence, and a great deal of goodwill on behalf of his people, at last we've tied down that interview with Governor Jesse Ventura.

Now, if you're in the UK, or another part of this world, and you don't know anything about this man, prepare to be fascinated, and prepare to have your mind challenged by his views.

In particular, this time around, with the 50th anniversary here of JFK's assassination, we're going to talk about his new book on that subject quite extensively.

We'll also talk about his political views, his views about the things that go on in this world.

Now, if you know nothing about Jesse Ventura, I'm almost tempted to say where have you been, because his TV shows are pretty much everywhere.

But if I just read a paragraph, even just a quick line from his Wikipedia biography here, and I do recommend that you look at it, because boy, this man's had a colorful life in Korea.

At James George Janus, born July 15th, 1951, better known by his stage named Jesse Ventura is an American politician, actor, author, veteran, and former professional wrestler who served as the 38th governor of Minnesota from 1999 to 2003.

Now, you might have seen him on conspiracy shows on TV, presenting them.

And that very much these days is his thing.

He has pretty strong political views, and if you read that biography of him, or if you live in the States and you know about him, you know that this man is no stranger at all to controversy.

And that's one of the reasons we've got him on here.

His book that he's talking about at the moment, which, of course, his aposite bearing in mind that this is that 50th anniversary of the killing of JFK in Dallas, Texas, and all the questions that will always resound and rebound about it.

The book is called they killed our president, 63 reasons to believe there was a conspiracy to assassinate JFK.

Well, we hope to cover an awful lot of that ground with Jesse Ventura from the United States on this show very, very soon, just to say as ever, thank you to Adam Cornwell for his great efforts for the show lately.

Designing, maintaining the website, getting the show out to you couldn't do it without Adam from creative hotspot in Liverpool.

I don't want to hang about, though, I want to get as much value as possible.

We have roughly 60 minutes or just under with Governor Jesse Ventura, so let's cross to him right now.

Governor Ventura, thank you very much for making time to come on my show.

And on behalf of my listeners in the UK, the US, Australian New Zealand, around the world, lots of them.
