DescriptionVideotaped oral history interview with Alyson Holland. Born more than three decades after the assassination, Holland developed an interest in the Kennedy family while attending college. In 2020, she launched “The Kennedy Dynasty,” a weekly podcast that explores the history and legacy of the Kennedy family. Interview conducted via Zoom on February 25, 2022 by Stephen Fagin. The interview is thirty-six minutes long.

Curatorial Commentary

The first episode of the Kennedy Dynasty podcast premiered on April 12, 2020 and was, according to Alyson Holland, inspired by "a random Netflix documentary selection one night in her dorm room" which led to a research interest in the Kennedy family.

Video versions of podcast episodes going back to March 2021 are available on the Kennedy Dynasty Podcast's YouTube Channel. Among them are two episodes that feature staff from The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza. CEO Nicola Longford and Chief Philanthropy Officer Kim Bryan were interviewed together in November 2021: A Conversation At The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza - Kennedy Dynasty Podcast (youtube.com). And one year later, in November 2022, I had the pleasure of being Alyson's guest for an episode: Interview With Stephen Fagin: Curator and Oral Historian for The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza (youtube.com). - Stephen Fagin, Curator
