LESSONS FROM BOBBY Ten Reasons Robert F. Kennedy Still Matters

Marking the 100th anniversary of Robert F. Kennedy's birth, author and narrator Chris Matthews makes the case for ways that RFK's ideals are relevant to today's sociopolitical climate. Matthews touches on broad topics like peace, law enforcement, and courage, and Matthews's readings of Kennedy's actual speeches are included. Well known for his expertise on the Kennedy family, Matthews narrates with equal parts reverence and disdain, contrasting Bobby Kennedy's actions with those of the current administration in similar circumstances. Matthews' signature Everyman style of speech will be familiar to those who've seen his television appearances, but his diction lacks the clarity of a typical nonfiction audiobook. Though his tone is softer than the pugnacious style of his former TV show, "Hardball," Matthews pulls no punches. [Published: JANUARY 2026]
