What was it about the Kennedy's that attracted so much tragedy, that many believed them to be cursed?
From plane disasters in World War 2, to drug overdoses and of course, assassinations - it has to be said, they had their fair share.
Is there something sinister going on, or is this tragedy the by-product of such a go-getter risk-taking attitude?
Joining Kate today to explore the so-called Kennedy curse is Barbara Perry, Professor in Presidential Studies at the University of Virginia’s Miller Center, where she co-directs the Presidential Oral History Program.
This episode was edited by Tom Delargy and the producer was Stuart Beckwith. The senior producer was Charlotte Long.
