Podcast appearances and mentions of Al Capone

Nous sommes le 16 janvier 1920. Il est minuit aux Etats-Unis d'Amérique du Nord lorsque entre en vigueur le 18e amendement de la Constitution. Un amendement qui interdit la production, la vente et le transport d'alcool. Censée être définitive, cette « noble expérience », comme on la qualifie, va rapidement révéler ses paradoxes. Si elle réduit, en effet, la consommation et les pathologies associées à la consommation excessive d'alcool, elle engendre aussi une criminalité organisée florissante incarnée par des figures comme Al Capone. Une criminalité qui transforme le trafic d'alcool en une véritable économie souterraine et entraîne une corruption généralisée. Face au mépris de la loi, des mouvements d'opposition critiquent l'intrusion fédérale et ses conséquences sociales. La Grande Dépression de 1929 servira de catalyseur pour renverser l'opinion publique, jusque-là favorable à cette prohibition. Treize ans après son entrée en vigueur, le 18e amendement est abrogé par le 21e. Quels étaient les enjeux économiques et politiques de la Prohibition ? De quelle manière s'inscrit-elle dans les luttes pour les droits des femmes, celles des abolitionnistes et dans les actions des ouvriers d'un pays en pleine expansion industrielle ?

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.

What happens when a set of twins working for Al Capone in the early 30's flee from Chicago to Mississippi to start a juke joint? Well, a few things. For one, potentially one of the greatest nights in music that never existed. Also, colonizing vampires thirsting to steal your soul and have you join their hive mind could show up to that very juke joint. As the tables turn and the fire burns, a jovial group of partygoers are faced with the scariest decision of their lives, and time is ticking fast.

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.

Op 11 augustus 1934 opende Alcatraz. De beruchte gevangenis op het eiland in de baai van San Francisco. De allergrootste boeven werden er opgesloten, zoals maffiabaas Al Capone en de Birdman. Er waren iconische ontsnappingspogingen die nooit helemaal verklaard zijn. Maarten en Tom bespreken waarom Alcatraz zo onneembaar leek en hoe realistisch het plan van president Trump is om de gevangenis te heropenen.

This week we return to one of our favorite directors in Brian De Palma to talk about three films that are long overdue and up first is The Untouchables. Journey with us as we discuss the look and style of the film and especially the iconic train steps sequence. Is this an overlooked classic or does it have too many moments that slip up? So pour some rye because the character's cant, grab your best Armani suit, and get ready to take down Al Capone with Eliot Ness. Cheers!

Chicago is known for crime bosses like Al Capone, but the city is also home to two Chinese gangs that were once fierce rivals. This story first aired in 2018.

The Medellin Cartel rose in the 1980s by flooding the United States with cocaine, providing dope to dance floors in Miami all the way to crack houses in Los Angeles. Forbes magazine once estimated the tidal wave of powder made the cartel's top trafficker Pablo Escobar $9 billion and its No. 2, Carlos Lehder, another $2.7 billion. While these numbers are likely major over-estimates of how much individual narcos actually keep, the cocaine trade certainly served up billions of dollars to Colombia, fueling an armed conflict involving the cartels, army, leftist guerillas and right wing paramilitaries that tore the South American nation apart and left a lot of families weeping. Escobar gained an infamy alongside Al Capone and later El Chapo as the most well-known mobsters of all time. But Lehder was also a fascinating character. He personally piloted planes and had his own private island in The Bahamas, which he used as a trampoline to bounce blow state side. The son of a German, he was portrayed by Netflix Narcos with a swastika tattoo as a Neo-Nazi narco. And he went on to become the star witness against the Panamanian dictator General Noriega, who was a CIA agent and an ally of Medellin Cartel before the U.S. invasion of Panama took him down in 1989. So when I recently got a message that I would have a chance to interview Lehder, who is now free and back in Colombia after a 33-year stint in prison, I scrambled to get there as quick as I could. The man I discovered was more humble and less boastful than you might expect, but then decades in a cell including four years in solitary, changes you. He has written a memoir of “Life and Death of the Medellin Cartel,” which you can find here and provides a revealing first-hand account to understand the period. We spoke for hours in what I believe is Carlos' first English language interview. He goes into fascinating details about how the Medellin Cartel really functioned, its relationship with guerillas and paramilitaries, and how they owned governments and supplied the U.S.-backed Contra rebels. He also gets personal about what years in solitary does to your brain. I'm proud to say this episode show cases an important testimony that helps understand the history of the eighties in the Americas, while its also intriguing to see the man behind the myth.

Welcome to New England Legends From the Vault – FtV Episode 125 –  Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger explore the haunting of Highgate Manor in Highgate, Vermont.

On The South Florida Roundup, we examined a scathing new study that calls conditions in South Florida's migrant detention centers “dehumanizing” — and getting worse as the Trump administration keeps filling them up [01:09]. We also spoke with the mayor of Broward County, whose budget is being targeted by Governor Ron DeSantis' state version of DOGE [20:04]. And our WLRN reporters mark the centennial anniversaries of South Florida's cities — and their rich stories, from Pearl City to Al Capone [35:27].

During Prohibition, this ruthless group of Jewish-American gangsters ruled Detroit's underworld, controlling liquor smuggling routes, running speakeasies, and even outmuscling Al Capone's Chicago Outfit—at least for a while. Feared by rivals, untouchable by cops, and even suspected in the infamous St. Valentine's Day Massacre, the Purple Gang's reign was explosive, chaotic, and ultimately short-lived. This is the wild story of one of the most dangerous and overlooked crime syndicates in American history.Subscribe to our YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/@bangdangnetworkBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/outlaws-gunslingers--4737234/support.

President Trump has said he wants to turn Alcatraz back into a working prison, and he sent Attorney General Pam Bondi and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum on a fact-finding mission to the island. Alcatraz closed in the 60's but gained for housing crime boss Al Capone and other notorious criminals of the 1930s, '40s, and '50s.

Esperanza and Irwin delve into the Prohibition Era, 1920 to 1933. There apparently were lots of hands in the till, making money from Prohibition on Long Island, or Liquor Island, as one prominent minister was quoted as saying. Carl Fisher, who's Island Club on Montauk's Star Island was the most glamorous speakeasy of its time, with patrons like Ernest Hemingway and NYC Mayor Jimmy Walker. Arthur Benson, where $250,000 worth of alcohol, a staggering amount in 1925, was confiscated from his 4000 acre estate. But it was the fishermen and baymen involved as well, eluding not just the authorities like the Coast Guard, but pirates and mobsters, like Al Capone, while transporting alcohol throughout Long Island and into NYC. With further involvement from Temperance Societies in the early 19th century, to the KKK's support of prohibition in an effort to appear patriotic, we were amazed at all the story lines that converge in this podcast. Listening is Believing.

If you think about the 1920s in the United States, a few things might come to mind—jazz, prohibition, Babe Ruth, and, right at the end, the Wall Street Crash. And if you think of crime, you probably think of Al Capone, bootlegging, and fast-talking wise guys with Tommy guns. But the 1920s were also in some ways the nation's introduction to crimes that could shock and horrify the entire country. Leopold and Loeb's thrill killing, the kidnapping and murder of the Lindbergh baby, the utter horror of child-killer and cannibal Albert Fish. And possibly the most prolific killer of the decade was a man whose strange desires sent him on a trail of murder all across a continent.Join Katie and Whitney, plus the hosts of Last Podcast on the Left, Sinisterhood, and Scared to Death, on the very first CRIMEWAVE true crime cruise!

Campaigning journalist Claud Cockburn – defiantly anti-establishment and proudly Communist – had as his watchword ‘believe nothing until it is officially denied', a saying borrowed by his son Patrick, himself a legendary foreign correspondent, for his biography of his maverick father. Described by schoolfriend Graham Greene as the greatest journalist of the twentieth century, Cockburn was born at the heart of the establishment it became his life's work to satirise, lampoon and undermine, with reports from Berlin during the rise of Fascism and Spain during the Civil War, as well as New York, Washington and Chicago, where he once conducted an interview with Al Capone. Patrick Cockburn spoke at the shop about Believe Nothing Until It Is Officially Denied (Verso), and its lessons for journalism then, now and in the future, with journalist Duncan Campbell.

In this episode, you'll learn how to use the common English expression “the coast is clear,” which means it's safe to proceed because no one is watching or in the way. After breaking down the literal and figurative meanings, as well as the origin, you'll hear three vivid examples—one featuring a mama bird, a cheating girlfriend, and shoplifting teens. The cultural spotlight of this episode is on Alcatraz, the infamous island prison off the coast of San Francisco. Once home to criminals like Al Capone, Alcatraz was considered escape-proof—until 1962, when Frank Morris and the Anglin brothers vanished in a daring and ingenious escape involving handmade dummies, a raft made of raincoats, and months of careful planning. Despite debris being found and decades of investigation, the trio was never seen again, making it the longest-running manhunt in U.S. history. In this episode, you'll learn about the prison, and how these three men got out! Mentioned in this Episode ⁠All Premium Content Seasons 1-3⁠ (+ discount on Season 4) Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Gangland Wire, retired Kansas City Intelligence Detective Gary Jenkins takes listeners deep into a lesser-known corner of American mob history—Denver, Colorado. While most think of Denver as a gateway to the Rockies and a hub for skiing, few realize it also served as the long-standing stronghold of the Smaldone crime family. Gary uncovers the roots of organized crime in southern Colorado, beginning in Pueblo, where early mobster James Coletti, a one-time associate of the Bonanno crime family, helped lay the foundation. He and the infamous Carlino brothers, including Pete Carlino—dubbed the "Al Capone of Southern Colorado"—dominated bootlegging during Prohibition and attempted to expand northward. But peace efforts failed, and bloody gang wars soon erupted, culminating in drive-by shootings, betrayal, and ultimately murder. From there, the story shifts to Joe Roma, Denver's would-be peacemaker and one-time crime boss, whose 1933 assassination created a power vacuum. Into that void stepped the Smaldone brothers—Clyde (“Flip Flop”), Eugene (“Checkers”), and Clarence (“Chauncey”)—who would dominate Denver's underworld from the 1940s through the 1980s. Their North Denver restaurant, Gaetano's, became both a community staple and a notorious mob hangout. Gary details the family's criminal enterprises, from gambling, loan sharking, and bootlegging to jury tampering and racketeering, including the high-profile 1953 gambling raid that brought federal heat. But the Smaldones weren't just feared—they were admired by many locals for their generosity, community involvement, and quiet acts of charity. They donated to orphanages, covered college tuition, and ensured no one in the neighborhood went hungry, blurring the line between gangster and good neighbor. The episode also explores the Smaldones' national connections, including partnerships with mob bosses in St. Louis, Detroit, and Chicago. Gary breaks down their Las Vegas Riviera Casino skim, in collaboration with Anthony Giordano, and how FBI wiretaps and surveillance exposed their involvement in one of the Mafia's most lucrative rackets. Figures like “Fat Willie” Villano, a nephew of Checkers, handled casino marker collections, sometimes doubling as muscle for overdue debts. As always, Gary brings a thoughtful and grounded perspective, asking: Were the Smaldones cold-blooded criminals or Robin Hood-style community protectors? The truth lies somewhere in between.

Transcript In this episode, I delve deep into the intriguing world of organized crime in Denver, Colorado, a city not typically associated with mob activities. The focus of my research centers around the Small Dome family, who dominated the organized crime scene for several decades. Many listeners are surprised to learn that organized crime had roots in Denver, often overshadowed by its reputation as a skiing and outdoor paradise. But as we explore the historical timeline, we uncover how mob influence permeated this seemingly tranquil landscape. To kick off the narrative, I introduce the criminal origins in southern Colorado with figures like James Coletti, who made his reputation in Pueblo during the late 1950s. We examine Coletti's ties to the Bonanno family and his subsequent move to Pueblo, where he became embroiled in local organized crime. The podcast elaborates on key players like Pete Carlino, dubbed the "Al Capone of Southern Colorado,

By the mid-1920s, Al Capone was the undisputed kingpin of Chicago and was working feverishly to expand his empire. The only thing standing in the way of his ambitions was an overzealous Nebraska lawman known as Richard “Two Gun” Hart. The mysterious Hart claimed to be half Native American and appeared like something straight out of a Hollywood Western. Still, he was said to be both fearless and incorruptible, going down in history as one of the most effective Prohibition Agents of all time. But Richard Hart harbored a dark secret that even his wife and children were unaware of. The straight-shooting lawman and the notorious gangster were connected in more ways than one.   Today's sponsor is QUINCE! - quince.com/wildwest Check out the website for more true tales from the Old West https://www.wildwestextra.com/   Email me! https://www.wildwestextra.com/contact/   Free Newsletter! https://wildwestjosh.substack.com/   Join Patreon for ad-free and bonus content! https://www.patreon.com/wildwestextra Learn more about your ad choices.

Alcatraz shut its cell doors more than 60 years ago, but its grip on the American imagination hasn't loosened. Each year, nearly a million and a half tourists ride the ferry across San Francisco Bay, through cold, choppy waters, to walk the crumbling corridors of the most infamous prison in U.S. history.  Visitors today frequently cite the desire to see the cellblocks that once confined legendary outlaws, Notorious gangsters such as Al Capone, George “Machine Gun” Kelly, and Robert “Birdman” Stroud were inmates here, cementing Alcatraz's image as the end of the line for incorrigible criminal offenders. I've included a link in the show notes to their “rap sheets” from the Warden's records. During its 29 years as a federal prison, Alcatraz gained a fearsome reputation for strict discipline and inescapable walls. Now, President Donald Trump says he wants to reopen and expand Alcatraz as a high-security federal prison. In this episode, I take a hard look at the history of The Rock—how it earned its reputation as escape-proof, the men it held, the myth it became, and why, even in ruins, it still casts a long shadow over American justice. The Warden's "Rap Sheets" for Alcatraz's infamous convicts.

Home to the likes of Al Capone and George 'Machine Gun' Kelly, Alcatraz was once the jewel in the American prison system. The wind-swept island fortress was the final stop for the nation's most dangerous criminals and was thought to be escape-proof - at least, until one night in June 1962, when three men on an improvised raft slipped into the icy waters of San Francisco Bay, never to be seen again. President Donald Trump has said that he is determined to reopen this notorious prison, so today we're revisiting this episode, Jolene Babyak, a historian of Alcatraz and author of 'Breaking The Rock', to give you a potted history of this notorious penitentiary.Produced by James Hickmanna and edited by Dougal Patmore.Sign up to History Hit for hundreds of hours of original documentaries, with a new release every week and ad-free podcasts.

But Trump is concerned about the fossil film industry — as he says its about propaganda.     Yet 100% tariff on foreign films raises questions about a new precedent of taxing services and intellectual property.     Is Trump trying to push production to AI?  If he follows through, that's what will happen 32:07 LIVE audience comments 35:42 To Pay $1,000 Deportation Award to Illegals: Welfare Magnet Flipped to Cash Handouts for Illegals    Instead of slamming the door on illegal immigrants with a “welfare repellent” plan—charging them sky-high fees for services like education and government interactions—he's dishing out $1,000 cash and free plane tickets to “self-deport”!     Studies scream these “pay-to-go” programs are a global bust, yet Trump's doubling down, hinting at letting “good” migrants waltz back in. 42:20 US Military Into Mexico? Drone Strikes, Cartel Chaos, and a Narco-State Nightmare          Despite the Mexican president's fierce rejection, Trump eyes drone strikes and unilateral action.
