Listen to Legacy from Wondery and Goalhanger Podcasts. Each season,
historian Peter Frankopan and broadcaster Afua Hirsch tell the wild
stories of the most extraordinary men and women to have ever lived
– and ask whether they have the reputation they deserve.
Born into great privilege, John F. Kennedy became one of the
most influential world leaders of the 21st century. His liberal
domestic agenda inspired optimism among the next generation of
Americans whilst his foreign policies were defined by the Cold War
and the space race. His assassination in 1963 sustains the public’s
fascination and has cemented his place as one of the world’s most
influential cultural and political icons. And with the US elections
coming up, how much of it can we attribute to JFK? In this
clip of Legacy, JFK is in the eye of the storm of one of the most
terrifying geo-political moments of modern history: the Cuban
Missile Crisis. Will history look down on him as a hero or a
failure? Listen to Legacy on the Wondery App or wherever you
