Our guest today, Brad Meltzer, is one of the busiest people in book writing. It's only March, and already he's had two books come out in 2025 alone: The JFK Conspiracy: The Secret Plot to Kill Kennedy—and Why It Failed, written with his friend Josh Mensch and released January 14, and Make Magic: The Book of Inspiration You Didn't Know You Needed, which came out March 4. Today on the show we talk about both books with Brad—and they're very different. In The JFK Conspiracy, we learn about a plot against John F. Kennedy's life a full three years before 1963 and Dallas. The almost assassination happened in December 1960 in Palm Beach, Florida, after Kennedy had been elected to the presidency but before he'd been sworn in. I'll leave it to the episode to explain the gritty details, but what's interesting is that the book dives into Jackie Kennedy with as much gusto as it does JFK. It's a fantastic read. Then we have Make Magic, which was birthed from the text of a speech Brad gave at the University of Michigan's commencement last May, when none other than his son was one of the graduates. Brad, too, graduated from Michigan, and the book is in Michigan's colors and the text is extremely substantive, especially when he goes into kindness and empathy. The books are very different, but I enjoyed them both immensely, and I can't wait for you to hear about them. By the way—just want to throw this in here—The JFK Conspiracy and Make Magic were both instant New York Times bestsellers. Brad is such a likeable guy. He's a No. 1 New York Times bestselling author and has written so many books, perhaps evidenced by the fact that he wrote two books already in 2025 alone. If that's not enough, he's also the host of the History Channel shows Brad Meltzer's Decoded and Brad Meltzer's Lost History, which he used to help find the missing September 11, 2001 flag that the firefighters raised at Ground Zero on that awful day. Brad has written across so many genres—novels to nonfiction books to comic books to children's books. I know you're going to love this conversation.

EITM interviews Brad Meltzer

A Note from James: Probably no president has fascinated this country and our history as much as John F. Kennedy, JFK. Everyone who lived through it remembers where they were when JFK was assassinated. He's considered the golden boy of American politics. But I didn't know this amazing conspiracy that was happening right before JFK took office. Best-selling thriller writer Brad Meltzer, one of my favorite writers, breaks it all down. He just wrote a book called The JFK Conspiracy. I highly recommend it. And we talk about it right here on the show. Episode Description: Brad Meltzer returns to the show to reveal one of the craziest untold stories about JFK: the first assassination attempt before he even took office. In his new book, The JFK Conspiracy, Brad dives into the little-known plot by Richard Pavlik, a disgruntled former postal worker with a car rigged to explode. What saved JFK's life that day? Why does this story remain a footnote in history? Brad shares riveting details, the forgotten man who thwarted the plot, and how this story illuminates America's deeper fears. We also explore the legacy of JFK and Jackie Kennedy, from heroism to scandal, and how their "Camelot" has shaped the presidency ever since. What You'll Learn: The true story of JFK's first assassination attempt in 1960. How Brad Meltzer uncovered one of the most bizarre historical footnotes about JFK. The untold role of Richard Pavlik in plotting to kill JFK and what stopped him. Why Jackie Kennedy coined the term "Camelot" and shaped JFK's legacy. Parallels between the 1960 election and today's polarized political climate.
