Hello and welcome to this brand new series of Legacy.

In this series, we're going to be talking about one of the most famous men to ever sit in the Oval Office.

But a man who was not quite the gilded, happy-go-lucky playboy he seemed to be. John F. Kennedy.

President of the United States for just over a thousand days. Not that long, but history suggests

to have made a big difference. For me, one of the key questions about his legacy centers on

the Cuban missile crisis in the early 1960s.

What might have happened if Kennedy hadn't been in the White House at that particular moment?

Is he the man who saved the world from nuclear war?

What about Kennedy's domestic legacy?

How much of a civil rights and social justice champion was he really?

And also the serious questions about the activities of the CIA

during that era, especially in developing countries under his watch. How much did he know?

And what are the consequences of that today? And we're recording this in the buildup to the

US election of 2024. So it's the perfect time to be thinking about the role of America presidents, what differences they can or can't make, both at home and broad. Let's talk about something that might be keeping you up at night.
