Podcast appearances and mentions of Al Capone

Are you waiting on an inheritance, a government program, or the bank to finally let you farm "for real"? In this episode, Mary Jo shows how that thinking is exactly what's holding you back, and how Nelson Nash warned us about it years ago.

In this episode of Gangland Wire, retired Kansas City Intelligence Unit detective Gary Jenkins sits down with author Jay Baer to explore the hidden, human side of organized crime's biggest names — Al Capone, Meyer Lansky, John Gotti, and Paul Castellano. Jay's book, Mob Life: The Private World of Capone, Lansky, Gotti, and Castellano, takes a unique look beyond the murders, rackets, and headlines to reveal how these mobsters actually lived — what they ate, how they dressed, their relationships with religion, and how they handled immense power and wealth. Listeners will hear: How Al Capone's family sold his spaghetti sauce recipe to Ragu — their first commercial product. Why Meyer Lansky, the most devout of the four, was denied the right to die in Israel by Prime Minister Golda Meir. The lavish lifestyle and fatal missteps of Paul Castellano, the “Howard Hughes of the Mafia.”   The contrast between Gotti's flamboyance and Lansky's low profile — and how each approach shaped their downfall. The staggering fortunes these men built — and how, in the end, they all lost it. Jay also shares his own lifelong fascination with organized crime, his career outside writing, and his upcoming project, How to Live Like a Gangster — No Prison Required, a look at mob values like loyalty, respect, and power through a modern lens. Gary and Jay swap mob history from New York to Kansas City, including a discussion of the real story behind scenes from Casino and Kansas City's own underworld power struggles.

The very online crowd is very upset, but Dems did fight like Republicans. This was a longer shutdown than anything the Tea Party pulled and real pain was being caused. And Democrats have now made the cost of healthcare front and center—while Republicans keep showing that they are the party of billionaires, Mar-a-Lago soirées, and golden ballrooms. Plus, President Al Capone pardoned all the people who tried to help him steal the 2020 election, pro-democracy Americans must stay united against the evil of the administration's deportation policy, and the effort to keep POTUS in a bubble backfired big time Sunday night at the Commanders' stadium.

In questa puntata mettiamo a confronto il realismo feroce de Il Traditore con il delirio decadente di Al Capone. Buscetta contro Capone: due modi opposti di raccontare il crimine, tra processi, tradimenti, miti che crollano e gangster che perdono la testa. Qual è il film bello e qual è il film brutto della settimana?

¿Puede un gánster marcar la historia de la seguridad alimentaria? Al Capone, emblema del crimen organizado en los años 30, aparece en una leyenda que dice que, tras un incidente familiar con leche en mal estado, Capone impulsó leyes que obligaban a etiquetar los envases. ¿Fue un acto de salud pública o puro interés comercial tras la Prohibición? ¿Es así cómo realmente surgieron estas fechas que hoy regulan lo que comemos?

Heute versuchen wir Al Capone das Handwerk zu legen und lassen und dabei trotz nachhaltiger Versuche einfach nicht bestechen. Außerdem stürzen wir uns in "One Battle After Another", gewinnen hoffentlich den "Krieg der Bestatter" und müssen leider die Enttäuschung Vaiana 2 verarbeiten. Viel Spaß beim Anhören!

In this episode, we synopsize the Milwaukee and Chicago sequences that make up the first half of the novel, zeroing in on the Prohibition era para-parastatal underworld of speakeasies, bootlegger tunnels, and subterranean dynamiter labs and the adjacent rhizome of socialist saloons, Galleanisti anarcho-clubhouses, and union locals in Cream City. We examine how Pynchon's Reformed Detective Shadowing Cheese Heiress mystery is partly a cipher for the ways in which Capone's Chicago Outfit and their Milwaukee Mob affiliates sought to complete “transformismo” and earn assimilation into the white color criminal realm of the ruling elite during the Depression's socioeconomic crisis and contraction, gaining favor through the loyal rendering of anticommunist strikebreaking and labor racketeering services. This tacit deal between the ChiTown upper and underworlds is a minor skeleton key to much of 20th century deep politics by way of the Outfit's Joe Kennedy ties, the JFK assassination, Sam Giancana's involvement in the Fidel Assassination Prank Show, GLADIO, and beyond. We start to coalesce theories for why Pynchon is pointing us in this direction including the blatant 1930s - 2020s encroaching fascism parallels; the less-traveled counterinsurgent history of the Pinkertons, J. Edgar Hoover's early proving of mettle circa Palmer Raids, and the First Red Scare and the way in which there are telling deep event continuities to be traced from the early 1900s to McCarthyism and Cointelpro, early experiments in the strategy of tension playbook; the Bureaus of Investigation and Prohibition and their Wars on Alcohol, Crime, and the Left (including the anti-immigrant and anti-communist targeting of proletarian taverns) and how the Interwar Period gave rise to the modern surveillance and carceral apparatuses; and the secret colonial histories and conflict economies buried inside mundane commodities like cheese and milk. Incomplete List of Sources (may update):Gus Russo - The Outfit: The Role of Chicago's Underworld in The Shaping of Modern AmericaJames B.

The play's title character, Arturo Ui, is an imagined cross between Adolf Hitler — whose rise Brecht fled Germany to escape — and Al Capone, and it's set in the 1930s gangster underworld of Chicago.Frank Theatre is known for mounting plays that challenge the status quo and spark conversation. The play opens on Halloween and runs through Nov. 23 at the Ivy Building for the Arts in Minneapolis.Rachleff, who has seen Frank's previous productions of the show in past years, calls the play "very relevant to the moment in which we are living."Peter says: We are living in a moment where not only is authoritarianism a concern, but so is corruption; and so whether it's pardoning this cryptocurrency guy or demanding that the Department of Justice reimburse the president $230 million, we seem to be experiencing the kind of synthesis that Bertolt Brecht imagined when he wrote “The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui.”I think that Brecht's aesthetics of tearing down the fourth wall between the audience and the performers on stage is an aesthetic that Frank Theatre has engaged and deployed consistently and in challenging ways over the last 36 years. I've lived here about 45 years, and I'm very fortunate not only that we have a fabulous theater community, but that Wendy Knox and Frank Theatre are in the middle of it.— Peter Rachleff‘Phantom' returns to the screen — with a 60-piece live orchestraTristan Crawford is a writer, director and animator in Minneapolis, and his plans for Halloween evening involve a new musical take on a famous phantom. Before Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote music for the haunted Paris Opera House, Gaston Leroux's gothic horror novel was imagined as a silent film.On Halloween night, the 1925 film “The Phantom of the Opera” will screen at Ted Mann Concert Hall on the University of Minnesota campus in Minneapolis, accompanied by an original score by Twin Cities composer Philip Shorey. He will conduct the 60-piece Curse of the Vampire Orchestra as the film plays.Tristan says: It's like the combination of going to the movies, but then also going to your favorite concert. They have flashing lights, they have fog, they have the screen playing the film. But then you also get to see the orchestra just play right in front of you. Philip always dresses to the 10s, too. And you're just sucked into this amazing experience. I don't know what else you would want to be doing this Halloween.— Tristan CrawfordA musical ‘Terminator' brings joy and absurdity to MorrisSyd Bauer of Morris loves the joy and fun going into the production of “Terminator: The Musical” on the University of Minnesota-Morris campus, starting tonight.Shows run Thursday and Nov. 1 (skipping Halloween), and Nov. 6–8 at 7:30 p.m., with a 2 p.m. matinee on Nov. 8 at the George C. Fosgate Black Box Theatre.Syd says: I'm excited about “Terminator: The Musical” for lots of reasons, but for the main reason being that the folks putting it on are thrilled to be experiencing joy and silliness through their art. I've gotten to talk to a lot of the folks doing tech for the show, and they're pumped about the comedy within it. They're pumped about the silliness in the props. One of them is a bike helmet with a little toy helicopter attached to the top for the chase scenes. They're excited about what it means to be thinking about AI and technology as we're coming up on 2029, the year that the Terminator is from, to go back to the 80s.— Syd Bauer

Circuit Judge Michael Randazzo is preparing to add “author” to his long list of accomplishments. His debut book, Presiding Over Shadows: From Chaos to Order in the Court, is scheduled for release on September 16, 2025.Randazzo's journey to the bench has been marked by resilience and achievement. A first-generation college graduate, he earned degrees in Criminology and Criminal Justice from the University of Missouri–St. Louis, completing the Pierre Laclede Honors College program before obtaining his Juris Doctorate from Saint Louis University School of Law in 2010.By 2015, Randazzo was running his own law firm and was named to The National Trial Lawyers' Top 50 Under 40. His career as a prosecutor included more than 3,000 felony cases and 10,000 misdemeanors before he was elected Circuit Judge. In 2021, he was appointed to Missouri's 42nd Judicial Circuit and, within a year, became one of the youngest presiding circuit judges in state history. To date, he has participated in more than 75 jury trials.Blending memoir and true crime, Randazzo's forthcoming book delves into the challenges and contradictions of his life. “I have Italian roots that trace back to the Sicilian Mafia, including Al Capone's Chicago Outfit and the St. Louis Mafia,” Randazzo said. “The book details some crimes and victimization of my family members. It's about my family's history and how it made my path to the bench almost impossible. Even more specifically, it deals with my relationship with my grandfather, who was my hero, despite him being a deeply flawed man.”TwitterFacebookUnterrified DemocratBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

This Day in Legal History: Al Capone ConvictedOn October 17, 1931, notorious gangster Al Capone was convicted of tax evasion in federal court, marking a pivotal moment in American legal history. Capone, who had risen to national infamy during Prohibition as the head of a sprawling Chicago crime syndicate, had long evaded prosecution for his violent and illegal enterprises. Despite widespread public knowledge of his role in bootlegging, extortion, and murder, prosecutors struggled to tie him directly to any of those crimes. Instead, federal investigators, led by Treasury Department agent Frank J. Wilson, focused on Capone's lavish lifestyle and failure to file income tax returns.The government's case rested on a novel legal theory at the time: that even illegally obtained income was subject to federal taxation. This approach was upheld by the Supreme Court in prior decisions and proved decisive in Capone's prosecution. During trial, prosecutors introduced evidence of Capone's expenditures and testimony from witnesses who detailed his earnings, none of which had been declared to the IRS. The jury found him guilty on five counts of tax evasion.Capone was sentenced to 11 years in federal prison, fined $50,000, and charged nearly $30,000 in court costs and back taxes. He was denied bail and began serving time in the U.S. Penitentiary in Atlanta before being transferred to Alcatraz in 1934. His conviction not only marked the downfall of one of America's most feared mob bosses but also cemented the IRS's role in fighting organized crime. The case showcased the growing power of the federal government in regulating and prosecuting financial crimes.Former National Security Adviser John Bolton was indicted on charges of sharing classified government information, including top-secret material, with two relatives identified by sources as his wife and daughter. The indictment alleges Bolton transmitted over a thousand pages of sensitive information—gleaned from high-level meetings and intelligence briefings—between 2018 and 2025, with discussions indicating the material might be used in a book project. He referred to his relatives as his “editors” and communicated with a publisher about potential rights. Bolton has denied wrongdoing, stating he looks forward to defending himself and accusing Trump of abuse of power. His attorney maintains no classified information was unlawfully shared or stored.The case is part of a broader trend under the Trump administration, which has pursued indictments against multiple critics, including James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. Trump has actively pushed for such prosecutions, and concerns have been raised about the politicization of the Justice Department. Still, officials note Bolton's case began in 2022 and involves more substantial evidence. Bolton's personal email was reportedly hacked by an actor tied to the Iranian government, which further complicated the case, though he allegedly failed to report the storage of classified material. If convicted, Bolton faces up to 10 years per count under the Espionage Act.John Bolton, former Trump adviser, charged with sharing classified information | ReutersThe U.S. Chamber of Commerce filed a federal lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump's imposition of a $100,000 fee on new H-1B visa applications. The lawsuit, brought in Washington, D.C., argues that the fee—announced by Trump in a September proclamation—exceeds the president's legal authority and threatens to destabilize the visa system established by Congress. This marks the Chamber's first legal action against the Trump administration since his second term began in January.The H-1B program allows U.S. employers to hire skilled foreign workers, particularly in fields like technology and engineering. Companies typically pay between $2,000 and $5,000 per H-1B petition, with most applications costing under $3,600. The newly announced fee would significantly raise costs for employers, potentially forcing them to reduce their reliance on foreign talent or abandon the program altogether.Trump justified the fee by citing national and economic security concerns, claiming the H-1B program facilitates the replacement of American workers. The Chamber disputes that, arguing the fee is not an immigration restriction because employers—not foreign nationals—pay it. The policy is also facing another legal challenge in California from unions, religious groups, and employers. Business leaders warn that the fee will exacerbate labor shortages and harm U.S. competitiveness.Major US business group sues over Trump's $100,000 H-1B visa fee | ReutersNew Jersey filed a lawsuit against gun manufacturer Sig Sauer, seeking to halt sales of its P320 handgun within the state over allegations that the weapon can fire without the trigger being pulled. Filed in Sussex County state court, the lawsuit claims the company marketed the pistol as safe while knowing of a design flaw that allows for unintentional discharges. The complaint cites several such incidents, including the fatal shooting of a detective lieutenant in April 2023 as he was preparing to clean his P320.The state is seeking a mandatory recall of all P320s sold in New Jersey and a court order to ban further sales of the model. The lawsuit invokes product liability, consumer fraud, and public nuisance laws, marking the first time a government entity has sued over this issue, according to Attorney General Matthew Platkin. At a press conference, Platkin accused Sig Sauer of promoting the handgun's safety while omitting information about its known risks.Sig Sauer has denied the P320 can fire on its own, blaming incidents on user error. Still, the company has faced numerous lawsuits from civilians and law enforcement officers nationwide and has paid out millions in damages. New Jersey's suit claims the P320's design allows it to be fully cocked with a chambered round and that minor movement can activate the internal striker, causing it to discharge unexpectedly—especially dangerous for law enforcement officers who carry the firearm holstered and ready.New Jersey sues Sig Sauer, alleging handguns fire on their own | ReutersThis week's closing theme is by Frédéric Chopin.Frédéric Chopin, the Polish composer and virtuoso pianist, died on October 17, 1849, at the age of 39 in Paris. Though his life was brief, his influence on Romantic music—and piano literature in particular—has been profound and enduring. Chopin composed almost exclusively for solo piano, blending technical innovation with a deeply expressive, often introspective voice. Among his most beloved works is the Nocturne in E-flat major, Op. 9, No. 2, composed when he was just 20.This piece exemplifies Chopin's signature style: lyrical, ornamented melodies floating over a gently rocking accompaniment. It unfolds in a graceful ternary form, inviting both performer and listener into a world of delicate melancholy and understated virtuosity. The Nocturne's opening theme returns with increasingly elaborate embellishment, showcasing Chopin's genius for subtle variation and emotional nuance. Though brief, the piece captures a vast interior world—what Robert Schumann once described as “cannons buried in flowers.”Chopin's nocturnes elevated the genre from salon entertainment to high art, and the Nocturne in E-flat major remains a favorite among pianists and audiences alike. Its enduring popularity testifies to Chopin's ability to transform a simple melody into something timeless. That he died on this day in 1849 makes this day an especially fitting moment to revisit his music, which continues to resonate with quiet power over 175 years later.Without further ado, Frédéric Chopin's Nocturne in E-flat major, Op. 9, No. 2 – enjoy!

¡Vótame en los Premios iVoox 2025! Pocas palabras italianas son tan comunes en prácticamente todos los idiomas como mafia. Una mafia es cualquier organización criminal, pero su origen es siciliano. La palabra en sí proviene del árabe, pero no adquiriría pleno significado hasta mucho después, cuando la isla fue invadida por los normandos para pasar luego a ser controlada por los reyes de Aragón. Con la llegada de los normandos se impuso un sistema de latifundios que despojó a muchos campesinos de sus tierras. Eso les empujó a a refugiarse en las montañas. Estos refugios se convirtieron en nidos de bandoleros que asaltaban caminos. Los bandidos, conocidos como “mafiosi”, se ganaron respeto de sus comunidades ya que actuaban como defensores de los lugareños frente los invasores extranjeros. La mafia moderna, surgida en el siglo XIX, tiene sus raíces en esta resistencia. La mafia siciliana se organizaba en clanes familiares con estrictos códigos de conducta como la omertà (ley del silencio), que imponía no colaborar con las autoridades, y la vendetta (venganza). Estas normas fomentaban un sentido de honor, lealtad y obediencia absoluta al jefe de familia. Durante el dominio español y el reino de las Dos Sicilias, los mafiosi mantuvieron su influencia ya que actuaban como una justicia paralela en las zonas rurales. En la segunda mitad del siglo XIX con la unificación italiana no cambio la cosa demasiado. Controlaban los pueblos y sus tierras de labor y, a cambio, cobraban servicios de “protección”. Era una administración paralela, más efectiva incluso que el gobierno para el día a día. Fue en esa época cuando dio su salto a América de mano de la emigración. Allí los sicilianos formaron comunidades en las que la mafia replicó sus métodos traídos de Italia conformando bandas que apelaban a la identidad siciliana, a la “cosa nostra”. Pero EEUU era muy distinto a Sicilia, así que no tardaron en evolucionar hasta convertirse en poderosas bandas dedicadas en exclusiva al crimen organizado. Fue en ciudades estadounidenses como Nueva York o Chicago donde aparecieron los mafiosos más reconocidos como Al Capone o Lucky Luciano, ambos de origen siciliano, que modernizaron la mafia hasta convertirla en un sindicato del crimen que incluía tanto a italianos como a judíos e irlandeses. En Sicilia, entretanto, los mafiosos fueron perseguidos de forma implacable por el Gobierno fascista de Mussolini, que llegó a ponerlos fuera de juego, pero resurgieron con fuerza tras la segunda guerra mundial. En la posguerra, los gobiernos republicanos se apoyaron en los capos mafiosos, una decisión que terminarían lamentando porque el problema se enquistó durante décadas. El milagro económico de aquellos años transformó la isla en una sociedad urbana e industrial mucho menos controlable, lo que obligó a los mafiosos a adaptarse. En EEUU, donde el crimen organizado llegó a tener una gran importancia, la mafia fue diluyéndose en negocios legales, lo que tuvo como consecuencia que perdiese lo poco que le quedaba de aquella mafia siciliana que había llegado con la inmigración. Así, algo que había nacido como un movimiento de resistencia frente a los invasores fue evolucionando hasta transformarse primero en una organización criminal muy poderosa cuya actividad abarcaba dos continentes, y luego en sofisticados criminales dedicados al lavado de dinero del narcotráfico. De aquella mafia que presentan las películas casi nada queda salvo el nombre que, ese sí, ha hecho una fortuna extraordinaria.

It's banned books week, as we continue our look at books that have been challenged or banned. This week, it's Gennifer Choldenko's tale “Al Capone Does My Shirts.” Back in 2016, the book was challenged by a group that said the book “perpetuates negative stereotypes” by including Al Capone as a character in the book.  And earlier this year, a school board member in Pennsylvania called for a ban on the Newbery Honor book because a character called an autistic teenager stupid.  The school says the books are selected by professional staff members to support the district's educataional goals and meet the learning needs of students. The writer dedicated the book to her sister who had severe autism and was the inspiration for the character.  What do you think? Give a listen to our discussion of Jennifer Cheldenko's “Al Capone Does My Shirts.”  It was a rainy, muddy, fabulous day at the Gaithersburg Book Festival where this group of middle school students from Maryland discussed whether they'd like living on Alcatraz and if it's better to be the oldest or youngest in the family. Gennifer Choldenko answers their questions about researching her book AL CAPONE DOES MY SHIRTS. NPR newscaster Jack Speer is celebrity reader. Past Book Club for Kids guests drop by as well.

When hear the term bootlegging, what jumps into your mind? Maybe names like Al Capone, Bill McCoy, “Lucky” Luciano, and George Remus…that were famously associated with the Prohibition era. Or maybe you think about the role moonshine played in American History. But what about the infamous 5-Hour Energy bootlegging case from a decade ago? Oh…you hadn't heard of arguably the craziest crime story involving the energy drinks market before just now? From late-2009 until supposedly October 2012, an 11-person operation…led by a husband-and-wife team, placed into interstate commerce nearly 4 million bottles of counterfeit 5-Hour Energy. Accused initially of relabeling Mexican bottles of 5-Hour Energy and reselling them in the U.S. market, it was later discovered that blank bottles were filled with unknown liquids after authentic 5-Hour Energy inventory became unavailable. But adding even more craziness to this story, President Trump commuted the wife's sentence in early 2021…and one of the original perpetrators was just extradited from Italy after being a fugitive since the initial arrests.

Tony Accardo, nicknamed "Joe Batters" and "Big Tuna," is considered one of the longest-serving and most successful mob bosses in American history. His intelligence, prudence, and ruthlessness allowed him to rule the Chicago Outfit for decades, amassing a fortune and maintaining almost unchallenged power.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-history-of-the-american-mafia--4722947/support.

The Pressure of Police Work: From Cameras to Traps, Stress on Officers is Mounting. Police work has always carried unique challenges, but today's officers face pressures that go far beyond the streets. From cell phone cameras and so-called First Amendment Auditors setting traps, to command staff micromanagement and public confrontations, the stress can be overwhelming, sometimes career-ending. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Retired Riverside, Illinois Police Chief Tom Weitzel is our guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most podcast platforms. “Policing has become like living in a fish tank,” said Tom Weitzel, retired Chief of the Riverside, Illinois Police Department. “You're under observation 24/7, from the public, from the media, even from your own bosses.”  Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . Weitzel, who served decades in law enforcement and now shares his experiences through the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast available for free on their website, in addition to Apple, Spotify, and many major podcast platforms. Also on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and more, said that while he had support from elected officials, not every chief or officer has that backing. Even with it, the stress remained constant. The Pressure of Police Work: From Cameras to Traps, Stress on Officers is Mounting. The Rise of First Amendment Auditors One modern source of stress is the growing number of First Amendment Auditors. These individuals record in public spaces, often focusing on police, to test how well constitutional rights are respected. While some see this as citizen journalism, others intentionally provoke officers, hoping to capture a misstep on video that can later be uploaded for views and income. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. “They set traps for police,” Weitzel explained. “If you react, you give them the content they're looking for. My advice to officers: remain calm. Don't take the bait.” These auditors often enter places like post offices, courthouses, or even police stations with cameras rolling. Their stated goal is to document potential constitutional violations. But for officers, the experience can feel less like accountability and more like harassment. The Pressure of Police Work: From Cameras to Traps. More Than Cameras Auditors aren't the only stressors. Officers face constant scrutiny from suspects, citizens, and even their own command staff. “You hear it all, ‘Do you know who I am?' or ‘I pay your salary,'” Weitzel said. “Add in the micromanaging from some bosses, shift work, the risk of violence, and the media's misrepresentation of facts, and it's no wonder so many officers struggle with stress.” The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. This stress doesn't stop at the badge. Weitzel shared how his own children, who also became police officers, faced the same pressures. “It's not just the officer who feels it, it's their families too.” The Privacy Dilemma Another issue is the erosion of privacy. Between body cameras, dash cams, and surveillance technology, many officers feel there's little space left for private conversations, performance reviews, or even mental health support. “Officers need safe spaces, whether it's during critical incident stress debriefings or when seeking help from employee assistance programs,” Weitzel said. “Without that, the stigma around mental health in policing just gets worse.”The Pressure of Police Work: From Cameras to Traps. The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Balancing transparency for the public with privacy for officers remains one of law enforcement's biggest challenges. A Village with a History Weitzel's career was rooted in Riverside, Illinois, a historic suburban village of 9,298 residents just nine miles west of downtown Chicago. Known as the nation's first planned suburb and home to architectural landmarks, Riverside also has a storied history with figures like Claude “Screwy” Maddox and Frank Nitti, allies of Al Capone. But for Weitzel, Riverside was more than history, it was the community he served. And now, in retirement, he continues to serve by speaking openly about the realities of policing.

On May 21, 1927, 25 year old Charles LIndbergh became the biggest star on the planet. He advanced the travel industry to a level many doubted was possible after completing the first ever solo flight from New York to Paris in 55 hours. That should have been the most dramatic moment of any person's life, but it wasn't for Charles. Five years later his 20 month old son was kidnapped from his home in Hopewell, New Jersey in circumstances so bizarre they made everyone suspect, from household staff to Al Capone, and captivated the world's attention.  Join Black Barrel+ for ad-free episodes and bingeable seasons: blackbarrel.supportingcast.fm/join   Apple users join Black Barrel+ for ad-free episodes, bingeable seasons and bonus episodes.

Russian troops have made incremental gains in parts of eastern Ukraine, although their advances elsewhere have stalled. Also, as part of a cultural initiative to counter the influence of narco-corridos, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum's government is hosting “México Canta” or “Mexico Sings,” a national songwriting contest designed to promote nonviolent musical expressions. And, the World Bank is sending $4 billion to Argentina ahead of schedule, attempting to stabilize the country's cratering economy. Plus, Chicago has a long history with organized crime. Its most famous — or infamous — mob boss was Al Capone. But it wasn't just Italian families that worked in Chicago's underworld. Decades ago, two rival Chinese gangs ran amok in the city, but they were able to fly under the radar. Listen to today's Music Heard on Air. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Repeat after me and say it with the coolest lisp in cinema: here beginneth the 687th Have You Ever Seen podcast. The Untouchables is one Brian De Palma's most-successful films is also the first one of his to be discussed around here in 9 years...and, after Carrie, only the 2nd in total. And he was great at violent gangster flicks. It's still the days of Prohibition in America and Al Capone runs the underground liquor trade. Sean Connery won his only Oscar playing an "Irish" beat cop who has all the answers about how to take down the filthy rich mob boss, who's played by Robert De Niro. Connery, Kevin Costner, Andy Garcia and Charles Martin Smith are the title heroes, who dirty their hands more than they ever intended. So spend this first day of autumn hearing about booze, bribes and slo-mo shootouts in The Untouchables. It's probably the Chicago Way, but it's definitely the Toronto way to subscribe to this podcast...and to not take your baby carriage to a train station at midnight.

Al Capone's Beer Wars: A Complete History of Organized Crime in Chicago during Prohibition- John BinderAlthough much has been written about Al Capone, there has not been--until now--a complete history of organized crime in Chicago during Prohibition. This exhaustively researched book covers the entire period from 1920 to 1933. Author John J. Binder, a recognized authority on the history of organized crime in Chicago, discusses all the important bootlegging gangs in the city and the suburbs and also examines the other major rackets, such as prostitution, gambling, labor and business racketeering, and narcotics.A major focus is how the Capone gang -- one of twelve major bootlegging mobs in Chicago at the start of Prohibition--gained a virtual monopoly over organized crime in northern Illinois and beyond. Binder also describes the fight by federal and local authorities, as well as citizens' groups, against organized crime. In the process, he refutes numerous myths and misconceptions related to the Capone gang, other criminal groups, the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, and gangland killings.What emerges is a big picture of how Chicago's underworld evolved during this period. This broad perspective goes well beyond Capone and specific acts of violence and brings to light what was happening elsewhere in Chicagoland and after Capone went to jail.Based on 25 years of research and using many previously unexplored sources, this fascinating account of a bloody and colorful era in Chicago history will become the definitive work on the subject.https://amzn.to/4oQJu58Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

A veces comer en sí no es solo un gusto para el paladar, es una auténtica experiencia. Sobre todo si se trata de disfrutar en lo que son considerados auténticos restaurantes temáticos. En este “A Fuego Lento” hacemos un recorrido por los restaurantes temáticos más sorprendentes de Aragón. Desde la explosión de sabor mexicano en Huesca, hasta una selva, un safari o una cárcel al más puro Al Capone en Zaragoza. Y, por supuesto, una parada en el lejano oeste de Teruel. Un viaje gastronómico distinto, lleno de experiencias y mucho sabor.

They live above the dead. And the dead still walk below. In this unforgettable episode of Real Ghost Stories Online, host Carol Hughes takes us deep into a paranormal hotspot unlike any other—a former funeral home built in the 1880s. Now converted into apartments and businesses, this building has a long, buried history that still echoes through its walls… and tunnels. Yes—tunnels. Because underneath this Midwestern town runs an underground network once used by the Underground Railroad, Al Capone, and God knows what else. The basement remains untouched, cobblestone-lined, with an original casket elevator and the scent of hay still embedded in its walls from its days housing horses for funeral processions. Carol's nephew Giovanni lives in the upstairs apartment. His roommate? A shadowy female presence he's named Chelsea. From the moment he moved in, strange things began: doors stuck shut, ceiling fan chains swinging violently with no wind, and a full-bodied apparition of a woman with a large bun walking across the kitchen. Downstairs, staff experience memory lapses in the backroom—a “portal spot” where people forget why they entered the room mid-step. Objects crash with no cause. And the basement? Everyone avoids it. After a window mysteriously slammed on someone's hand, the room has been considered off-limits. With residual grief, intelligent spirits, and a connection to both historical trauma and organized crime, this building is a perfect storm of paranormal activity. #RealGhostStories #HauntedFuneralHome #GhostRoommate #ParanormalApartment #CasketElevator #HauntedBasement #SpiritOfChelsea #GhostEncounters #UndergroundTunnels #RealHaunting #HauntedBuilding #ParanormalPodcast Love real ghost stories?

On this episode, Tony Brueski digs into one of the most haunted places in the United States: Eastern State Penitentiary. Once home to notorious criminals like Al Capone, this Philadelphia prison has seen its share of violence, suffering, and death. But is it also home to something far darker? Visitors, staff, and paranormal investigators alike have reported strange sightings, eerie sounds, and unsettling sensations that can't be easily explained. Tony delves into the chilling history of the penitentiary, exploring the early days of its construction, the notorious figures who walked its halls, and the inexplicable events that have earned it a place in ghost-hunting lore. From shadowy figures to the eerie coldness of the dungeons, he examines whether Eastern State's spirits are trapped in its walls—or if the past is still alive, haunting the present.

Florida Dead Zone, Al Capone, And That's Why We Drink

Nearly 175 monkeys escaped from a zoo in Massapequa, New York in 1935. Led by an outlaw monkey named Al Capone, they mostly took refuge in the woods. While the vast majority of the monkeys were soon accounted for, Al Capone continued to remain at large.
