I talk to those men so you don&#8217;t have to. Please just fucking shoot me.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The show\u2019s origins lie in its creator\u2019s personal curiosity and obsessive comment reading. \u201cFrom the\u00a0very beginning of my porn career, I noticed an interesting phenomenon: when I would go through the comments section on my videos, I would find the weirdest replies. Some of them were mean, some were funny, many were\u00a0totally nonsense. I was fascinated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who\u00a0<em>were\u00a0<\/em>these people who stopped jacking off to comment on the shape of my skull, my slightly lazy eyelid, or announce that they disagreed with my\u00a0politics,\u00a0under a clip of me getting railed in the ass?<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs I started to branch off into the world of standup comedy\u00a0and podcasts, the comments only got stranger. \u2019She\u2019s like Ted Bundy with great tits,\u2019 wrote a\u00a0YouTube viewer.\u00a0\u2018Absolutely insufferable,\u2019 replied another. I would\u00a0read through the comments section with tears in my eyes; not because I was hurt but\u00a0because they were consistently\u00a0<em>so\u00a0<\/em>strange while being\u00a0absolutely hilarious. I started\u00a0screenshotting the really insane ones because I knew I wanted to do something with them, I just wasn\u2019t sure what.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a year of guesting consistently on other people\u2019s podcasts, Kennedy started getting asked when she would create one of her own.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201dI wanted to come up with a format that would\u00a0let me combine porn and comedy in a way\u00a0that was flexible, original, and\u00a0didn\u2019t lean too hard on one or the other,\u201d Kennedy revealed.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThen, by lucky chance, in the last six months I fell in with a lot of the people associated with the roast comedy\u00a0scene in LA \u2014\u00a0people who do a lot of insult and absurdist humor \u2014 and watching them work was a light bulb moment for me. I love teasing people, I love coming up with a\u00a0clever comeback . . . and I had a built in talent pool of\u00a0people who were\u00a0already antagonistic towards me. I planned to\u00a0interview these anonymous men on the hunch that their criticism of me would be unique, nonsensical, and\u00a0ultimately\u00a0hilarious. Bingo.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet Kennedy found one last hurdle to overcome: \u201cI started to pitch the concept for \u2018The Kennedy Assassination\u2019 around\u00a0casually, and I got one\u00a0response: great name, don\u2019t do it.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople warned me that I wouldn\u2019t be able to\u00a0convince anyone who hated me to guest on it. They warned me it\u00a0would be bad for my self esteem. Everyone\u00a0basically said it\u00a0wouldn\u2019t work, but I\u2019m so goddamn stubborn that one day I put an open ad on Twitter:\u00a0\u2018If you are man from the internet, and you dislike me, and you would be willing to talk about why with me\u00a0on a podcast, please DM me.\u2019\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within a day, her\u00a0inbox was flooded.\u00a0<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt turns out LOTS of men wanted to tell me exactly what they hated about me and were more than willing to do so publicly. This was going to work. The first\u00a0episode went on for an hour and a half of just insane circular logic and misused SAT words; I felt like I wasn\u2019t just shooting fish in a barrel, I was shooting the barrel and the fish were flopping around\u00a0everywhere on their own.\u00a0<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBy the end of the first weekend, I had four episodes recorded. A week later, I had seven, and\u00a0another three\u00a0scheduled. It continued to snowball from there. Start to finish, I\u00a0launched \u2018The Kennedy\u00a0Assassination\u2019 in less than two weeks.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kennedy has been buoyed by the fan and peer reactions to the podcast\u2019s first two episodes.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s always scary to put work out there for the world,\u00a0especially when you\u2019ve\u00a0already been warned off doing it. But the first episode came out and the\u00a0response was so positive \u2014 people liked it, but\u00a0they also\u00a0<em>got\u00a0<\/em>it. So much of the criticism we\u00a0receive is ultimately nonsense, it\u2019s silly, and it\u2019s\u00a0dumb to\u00a0take it so\u00a0seriously from an anonymous source. I wanted to highlight that, and also challenge the way\u00a0we think about and talk about criticism, especially towards women.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGetting to see\u00a0yourself\u00a0through the eyes of someone who knows almost nothing about you is so interesting, and says as much, maybe more, about them than you,\u201d Kennedy concluded.<br>New episodes of \u201cThe Kennedy Assassination\u201d post every Friday, and can be listened to on <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spotify\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/025vkhB8vjsHBVPZpNYHep?si=sp7-Nox1S0SAK8zI8JLmww\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/025vkhB8vjsHBVPZpNYHep?si=sp7-Nox1S0SAK8zI8JLmww<\/a>, at\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/anchor.fm\/TheKennedyAssassination\" target=\"_blank\">anchor.fm\/TheKennedyAssassination<\/a>, or on Kennedy\u2019s personal website,\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/semiprocockjockey.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">SemiProCockJockey.com<\/a>.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, check out Kennedy\u2019s recent appearance on the Wholesome Addiction podcast, where she walks the hosts through what she\u2019s got going on a daily basis, and discusses her early porn career, other job skills, BDSM, college being a racket, as well as \u201cThe Kennedy Assassination\u201d podcast, and tons more.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen to \u201dPodcast 392: Guest Kate Kennedy\u201d\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/wholesomeaddiction.com\/podcast-392-guest-kate-kennedy\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>\u00a0(\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/wholesomeaddiction.com\/podcast-392-guest-kate-kennedy\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/wholesomeaddiction.com\/podcast-392-guest-kate-kennedy\/<\/a>\u00a0).<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fans are invited to keep up with Kate Kennedy on Twitter:\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/theOGkennedy\" target=\"_blank\">@TheOGKennedy<\/a>\u00a0as well as on\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/onlyfans.com\/theOGKennedy\" target=\"_blank\">OnlyFans<\/a>.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For jokes, porn punditry and PG-rated content, check out\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ThePGKennedy\" target=\"_blank\">@ThePGKennedy.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Kate Kennedy<\/strong><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Popular adult film star, feature dancer\u00a0and porn pundit\u00a0Kate Kennedy entered the adult industry behind the scenes, working in marketing and production for a year before stepping in front of the camera in July 2018.
