"The limited series sheds light on a little known aspect of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963. Could the accused assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, been set up to be the patsy? The series focuses on writer Kerry Thornley who served with Lee Harvey Oswald in the US Marines and wrote a novel about him a year before he killed JFK. Thornley would later implicate himself in the conspiracy and became a major influence on Q-Anon and other fringe underground groups through his writings. This is not just another conspiracy theory. Written by former National Public Radio (NPR) commentator and Peabody award winner Andrei Codrescu."

Jesse Walker and Adam Gorightly appear in the podcast. The podcast also obviously is based on work by Adam. [This is an updated paragraph; I didn't know at first if it features Adam. See the comment to this post.]
Here is my previous post on the "Second Oswald" play, Nov. 13 in New York.
