Rare Audio: RFK charms Detroit Dems
Mar 5, 202100:53:12Tap to summarizeOn October 29, 1966, Bobby Kennedy came to Michigan to stump for the Democrats.

Jan 30, 202100:47:11Tap to summarizeWhen I asked Kathy and Tom Lewand to do an interview this fall while standing over my parents' grave on Mackinac Island, I expected them to be weirded-out and refuse. But now that I think about it, it wasn't any weirder than the stuff they did with my folks over the years, like Silent Records and The Stone Skipping Contest. Note: This episode includes an excerpt of an exceedingly rare recording of a Robert Kennedy speech in Detroit in 1966.
