S2 E28 | Conspiracy, Cover-ups, and the CIA: Unraveling the JFK Assassination with Steve Fantetti

The assassination of President John F. Kennedy stands as one of America’s most pivotal and mysterious moments. In this riveting episode, attorney and author Steve Fantetti takes us deep into the recently released JFK files, exploring how various power centers – from the CIA to the mafia – had compelling reasons to want Kennedy eliminated.

Kennedy posed an existential threat to entrenched interests. He wanted to dismantle the CIA “into a thousand pieces,” withdraw troops from Vietnam, and end American imperialism abroad. Meanwhile, his brother Bobby was aggressively prosecuting mob figures despite alleged deals made during the 1960 election. Within 24 hours of Kennedy’s death, LBJ reversed course on Vietnam, setting America on a path that would benefit defense contractors and reshape global politics.

S2 E27 | DJ Qeys Beyond the Beat: A Conversation with Tampa’s Luxury DJ

From turntables at age four to festival stages across the country, DJ Keys brings us behind the curtain of his remarkable journey in music. Growing up as the son of DJ Smooth (who learned from Curtis Blow’s DJ), Keys was destined for a life in sound—but it was his own unique path that transformed him from a curious kid to one of Tampa’s most respected turntablists.

The documentary “Scratch” changed everything for Keys, shifting his focus from party rocking to the technical artistry of turntablism. He takes us through his evolution—from DMC battles against DJ Slurp to forming the band Samurai Shotgun and touring globally with alternative hip-hop sounds. His memories of Old Dirty Sundays at Crowbar capture a golden era in Tampa’s music scene, where true DJ skills were not just appreciated but celebrated.

S2 E26 | Dream Chasers: Turning Passion into Profit with Melissa Horne

Melissa Horne didn’t set out to become a real estate powerhouse. Growing up in Queens, she found her first success in Manhattan’s nightlife, managing the legendary Comedy Cellar where comedy icons like Kevin Hart cut their teeth. The bustling downtown scene taught her invaluable lessons about human psychology and influence – “there’s nothing like a 5am drunk in downtown that you really learn the depths of humanity and how to control them.”

When motherhood at 29 forced a career pivot, Melissa discovered talents she never knew she possessed. Returning to college as an adult student opened her eyes to possibilities beyond the nightclub doors. “I was always that kid that had a ton of potential and I wasn’t sure when it was going to come out,” she reflects. That potential first manifested in a dumpster company she built with her partner – a venture that proved both educational and challenging in New York’s byzantine regulatory landscape.
