Podcast appearances and mentions of josh mensch

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.

On today's episode, authors Brad Meltzer and Josh Mensch sit down with Sharon to discuss their New York Times bestselling book, The Nazi Conspiracy. The pair discusses their research and writing process, including what it's like to collaborate on a book together. The Nazi Conspiracy takes readers deep inside the events of the Second World War and the semi-secret, in-person meeting between FDR, Churchill, and Stalin in Tehran. The Nazis grew wise to the meeting and conspired to assassinate all three leaders. What followed was a calculated series of spy missions, intelligence gathering, and strategic moves between the Allies and the Nazi powers.Hosted by: Sharon McMahonGuest: Brad Meltzer and Josh MenschExecutive Producer: Heather JacksonAudio Producer: Jenny SnyderResearcher: Valerie Hoback Hosted on Acast.

The Secret Plot to Kill Roosevelt, Stalin, and Churchill.

Today we have a show for the history buffs out there. Nearly eighty years ago, a historic conference took place in Tehran. The three leaders fighting against the Nazis in World War II, Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin met in Iran after exhaustive planning and correspondence. They knew that the conference would help the three nations come together and agree on key issues in the war. The three leaders didn't know, however, that as they made their way to Tehran, Nazi sympathizers would be in the city as well. In the new book, The Nazi Conspiracy: The Secret Plot to Kill Roosevelt, Stalin, and Churchill, Brad Meltzer and Josh Mensch tell the story of a potential assassination plot against the leaders. The book expands on the events of the Tehran conference and answers how the leaders got to that point. It's a complicated story and this week Josh Mensch stops by to help us understand it. Mensch is a documentary film writer, producer, and director who's worked with the History Channel, Nat Geo, Discovery, and PBS. This is his third book written with Meltzer.

High political stakes, secret plots, Plug Uglies armed with sharp awls to help 'convince' voters... Baltimore in the 1850's was a fearsome place where politics and gangs were hard to separate.  Yet it was the connecting stop for new Presidents and Union Soldiers getting to Washington D.C.  We speak with Josh Mensch.  Josh is the co-author with Brad Meltzer of the New York Times bestselling nonfiction history book The Lincoln Conspiracy: The Secret Plot to Kill America’s 16th President—and Why It Failed We talk to Josh about his book, the story of the plot to stop Lincoln's Presidency even before it happened, how it was foiled, and about political partisanship in America then and now.  

Josh Mensch on the failed plot to assassinate Abraham Lincoln on the train ride to his inauguration. Historian Douglas Egerton tells the lesser known story of Robert Smalls, an enslaved man who fought the confederacy throughout the Civil War and went on to have a fiery legislative career.

As the book opens, the Republic is deeply divided, each half of the country hating the other half (sound familiar?). The story begins in 1861 on a train traveling from Philadelphia to Washington DC in the dark of night, days before Abraham Lincoln’s first inauguration. On the train, Lincoln is in disguise, dressed an invalid, wearing a shawl and low-brimmed hat. Why? A secret society didn’t want an abolitionist in the highest office in the land. Thanks to the work of famed detective Allan Pinkerton, along with one of the first female private detectives in America, the assassination plot was stopped. The Lincoln Conspiracy shows how dangerously close the killers came to changing the course of American history—and what kind of leadership was required to thwart the plot. This new book, also co-written with Josh Mensch, has received early praise by historians such as James Swanson, Douglas Brinkley, and others. Brad Meltzer is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Escape Artist, The Inner Circle, and ten other bestselling thrillers, as well as the Ordinary People Change the World series. He is also the host of the History Channel TV shows Brad Meltzer’s Decoded and Brad Meltzer’s Lost History, which he used to help find the missing 9/11 flag that the firefighters raised at Ground Zero.
