October 21, 2019 - Our time machine travels back to the Jazz Age, where we'll meet gambling mastermind Arnold Rothstein, whose lust for a sure thing inspired the most audacious and infamous scam in sports history: Fixing the World Series 100 seasons ago. The Chicago White Sox took a dive on baseball's biggest stage against the Cincinnati Reds in the infamous "Black Sox" Scandal, in a scheme manipulated by A.R. (known as "The Brain" and "The Big Bankroll"), who spread cash around to everyone from bookies and judges to cops and politicians. Returning to share his Cracker Jack historical wisdom is David Pietrusza, who brings us his award-winning book, Rothstein: The Life, Times, and Murder of the Criminal Genius Who Fixed the 1919 World Series. We last chatted with the legendary historian about his latest title, TR's Last War: Theodore Roosevelt, the Great War, and a Journey of Triumph and Tragedy.  You can find that interview at HistoryAuthor.com, iTunes, our iHeartRadio Channel, or wherever you enjoy on-demand audio. David Pietrusza has written or edited enough best-selling, award-winning books to fill the visiting dugout, including those on the pivotal presidential election years 1920, 1932, 1948, and 1960.  He's appeared everywhere from C-Span and the History Channel, to ESPN and Fox Sports Channel. He's also featured on AMC's Making of the Mob: New York. It's easy to see why he's been called one "one of the great political historians of all time." This interview was conducted at Historic Albany Rural Cemetery, after the October 5, 2019 ceremony marking President Chester A. Arthur's 190th birthday.

We'll be the first to admit that the Most Useful Podcast Ever doesn't pursue a lot of hard-hitting journalism, but that's ok, because this week's guest, Elaine Shannon, certainly does. She came upon the story of criminal mastermind Paul Leroux while tracking the drug trade in Afghanistan, and eventually wrote a book—Hunting LeRoux: The Inside Story of the DEA Takedown of a Criminal Genius and His Empire—with the help of the DEA agents who took him down (two of whom also joined us for this week's podcast). Also on this episode: Sinks and toilets, sawdust, and the Houston rodeo. 

HUNTING LEROUX: The Inside Story of the DEA Takedown of a Criminal Genius and His Empire (Morrow, 2/19/19, 9780062859136, $27.99), is the story of Paul LeRoux, a tech entrepreneur-turned-arms-merchant captured while creating an “Everything Store” to serve rogue nations, warlords, insurgencies, transnational organized crime, and anyone with money. LeRoux’s business empire, spanning every continent but Antarctica, is a journey into a vast underground that most people don't know exists and that is driving wars and terrorism. It is being made into a major motion picture by the famed writer-director-producer Michael Mann.
