Bonus Episode 1: The Lincoln-Kennedy Coincidences (Jonathan Knight) Drop Date March 27, 2026 Episode Title: The Lincoln-Kennedy Coincidences (with Jonathan Knight) Episode Summary: What do Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy really have in common—beyond the eerie “coincidences” we’ve heard since childhood? In this episode of Just One More Question, Marc and Aleks sit down with author Jonathan Knight to explore one of America’s most enduring historical curiosities: the parallels between the assassinations of two of the nation’s most iconic presidents. Knight’s witty and well-researched book unpacks a long list of often-repeated claims—like both presidents having successors named Johnson, being elected 100 years apart, and being assassinated on a Friday—separating historical fact from folklore. Blending solid scholarship with a touch of humor, Knight walks us through the real stories behind these strange patterns and invites us to consider why these connections still fascinate generations of readers and armchair historians.
