In this gripping episode of Gangland Wire, retired Kansas City Police Intelligence Unit detective Gary Jenkins unravels one of the most damning scandals in FBI history—a chilling story of corruption, betrayal, and a sanctioned murder that would stain the Bureau's legacy for decades. Gary examines the sinister role played by FBI agent H. Paul Rico in the 1965 murder of Teddy Deegan. You'll hear how, back in October 1964, Rico learned Deegan had been marked for a mob hit—yet the Bureau did nothing. Why? Because the killers were protected informants. Gary breaks down how the FBI built its case on the false testimony of mob informant Joe Barboza. Instead of stopping the murder plot, the Bureau sat on exculpatory evidence and let Barboza's lies send Louis Greco, Henry Tamaleo, Peter Limone, and Joe Salvati to prison—two of them to death row. The FBI's Informant Obsession: The Bureau's relentless protection of violent informants like Barboza and Vincent “Jimmy the Bear” Flemmi reveals how an obsession with “winning” overshadowed basic justice. The Justice Department's own admission in 2000 that they knew the real killers exposes just how far the corruption ran. From Cover-Up to Vindication: Follow the twisted timeline of the Deegan murder, the courtroom betrayals, and the decades-long fight to clear the names of the wrongfully convicted. Gary explores the human cost of a system that chose loyalty to informants over the truth. Why This Story Matters: This episode forces listeners to confront a haunting truth: when law enforcement trades integrity for convenience, innocent lives pay the price. Gary challenges you to rethink the myth of the Bureau's infallibility—and to remember the names of the men who spent their lives behind bars for a crime they didn't commit.

Transcript [0:00] Well, hey, all you wiretappers out there, good to be back here in the studio. This is Gary Jenkins, former Kansas City Police Intelligence Unit detective. I've seen a lot of things in my life, and I just heard something in that interview I just did with Detective Mike Huff from Tulsa that I had never heard before. [0:18] I mean, I've heard a lot of corruption things, but this one, it just went beyond the pale, especially there at the end where he said that this H. Paul Rico asked him about his kids and how old his kids were. That was like, you know, and I, you know, I talked with that guy long enough to know that he wasn't lying. You know, he wasn't making that up. That was, it was just beyond the pale, if you ask me. But today's episode is going to be a little bit more about H. Paul Rico and a dark chapter in the FBI history. Now, this is before John Connolly and the Whitey Bulger cover-up and all that. H. Paul Rico was the agent that really broke in Connolly, I think, and taught him the ropes. He was a slick FBI agent that had all the informants, that always had the inside track on everything, knew where the deals were. And so let's talk a little more about this one incident that we glossed over in that interview with Mike Huff about the murder of the Roger Wheeler down in Tulsa at the golf course, the Southern Hills Golf Tournament. [1:30] And it was all over control of Jai alai, all the money that came out of Jai alai. This thing, it just, it was a web of deceit that reached into the highest levels of federal law enforcement, as you could tell from what Mr. Huff was saying. [1:44] And so I'm going to tell you the story of t...

Show Notes: In this bonus episode, we sit down with Pyllon athlete Gus Irvine, who just won the 2025 West Highland Way Race — one of the most iconic ultramarathons in the UK. But this conversation isn't just about race day. It's about what led there. Gus opens up about the years of quiet, committed training that made this win possible. We talk about his emotional relationship with running, the structure and belief that coaching has brought him, and how consistency, community, and sacrifice shaped his path to victory. He shares post-race reflections, including the moment it nearly unravelled, the deep significance of the race in his life, and what it feels like to finally win an event that once felt out of reach. At the end of the episode, we're joined briefly by his coach, John Connolly, who offers his perspective on Gus's development — and what it takes to build a performance like this over time. This is a conversation about more than just running. It's about self-belief, quiet progress, and the power of simply showing up. Topics covered: The emotional aftermath of a WHW victory Why talent is never enough — and what really matters How coaching and community shaped Gus's mindset The power of reflection, structure, and long-term commitment A look behind the scenes with coach John Connolly Sign-off: If you'd like to know more about working with us at Pyllon, head over to pyllonultra.com.

John Connolly is, in my opinion, the greatest living writer working in the overlap of crime and horror. His long-running series of novels—focused on the Strange cases of his haunted detective, Charlie Parker—is now over twenty books strong. The latest, The Children of Eve is a pivotal instalment, so this seemed a good time to get John on the show, to grill him about this saga's many mysteries, and hideous horrors. We talk about creating iconic villains, writing violence against the vulnerable, the monstrous feminine and the strange truth of Parker's nature.

Today we're headed to Boston, the home of Larry Bird, the Boondock Saints, and the only racists that can't pronounce a hard R. But we're not here for them, we're here for John Connolly. A classic case of corruption and ineptitude, and as always, a dumb nickname makes an appearance. You'll even hear the names of some future episodes as we make fun of all the aspects of this dummy's life. Enjoy!

In this special episode of the Pyllon Ultra Pod, I sit down with Pyllon coach John Connolly and long-time creative collaborator (and pal) Gavin Bussey, just ahead of the release of A Run Through Darkness — the film documenting my 3,000km run across New Zealand. We talk about the discomfort of putting something so personal out into the world, the role of Alice's energy in keeping the whole thing moving, and the quiet moments of vulnerability that came not just during the run, but in shaping the story afterward. There's plenty of west coast banter, swearing, some honesty about fear, doubt and storytelling — and the formal proposal of a new XP ritual involving frostbitten toes and Yukon tradition that you probably just have to hear to believe. This one's real. It's not polished. And I'm proud of that.
In this episode, CJ sits down with John Connolly, Managing Director at Spectrum Equity, to explore the evolution of consumer investing. They discuss how investor sentiment toward consumer companies has shifted over the past 15 years and why traditional SaaS metrics like net dollar retention (NDR) don't always apply in this space. John explains what signals indicate a strong consumer business, whether brand or product wins in the long run, and how consumer companies have adapted their monetization strategies over the last decade. Plus, John shares the story behind Spectrum Equity's investment in Teachers Pay Teachers and the craziest thing he's ever done to land a deal.If you're looking for an ERP, head to NetSuite: https://netsuite.com/metrics and get the CFO's Guide to AI and Machine Learning.—SPONSORS:Subscript is a modern billing and revenue recognition platform designed for SaaS finance teams that need flexibility and accuracy.

“The most effective therapies for solid tumors are also the most toxic — and we need to fix that,” says Dr. John Connolly, chief scientific officer of the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy. In this episode of the Vanguards of Health Care podcast, Connolly tells Bloomberg Intelligence pharmaceutical analyst Sam Fazeli why managing toxicity is the key to unlocking CAR-T’s potential in solid tumors. They explore the rise of in vivo cell therapies, evolving views on the tumor microenvironment and why foundational cancer vaccines may shape the future of all immunotherapy. Connolly also shares the clinical trials he’s watching closely, the ones that could flip the script on cancer care.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode is a little different from our usual structured approach. It's a raw and honest conversation between two friends—Pyllon coach Paul Giblin and fellow coach John Connolly. Paul shares the repercussions of his Yukon Arctic Ultra experience, including the frostbite he suffered during the race and the long road to recovery. It's not all serious, though—expect plenty of laughs, some swearing, and an inside look at what really happened when he hit the SOS button in the middle of one of the world's toughest races. Hear about: ✅ How the frostbite happened ✅ What went down when the rescue was activated ✅ The treatment Paul has received so far ✅ How this experience has changed his perspective This is an unscripted, casual conversation between two Pyllon coaches—something different from our usual episodes but packed with real stories, real consequences, and real lessons from the ultra world.

In this episode of Crime Time, Inc., we delve into the intriguing world of the Irish Mob through the eyes of John Shea, a former mobster who was part of Whitey Bulger's notorious crew. Shea's story offers a unique blueprint of the Irish Mob's rise and fall, shedding light on their operations, code, and ultimate dismantling. From growing up in the crime-flourishing environment of South Boston to being drawn into the mob life through boxing and drug dealing, Shea's journey is one of power, loyalty, and internal conflict.Shea recounts his recruitment into Bulger's inner circle by Steve Flemming, his role in the drug trade, and the tight-knit yet power-struggled dynamics within the crew. The episode highlights Bulger's ruthless intelligence, Flemming's brutality, and the hyper-focused business structure that set the Irish Mob apart from other organized crime groups like the Italian Mafia. It also discusses the corrupt relationships between the mob and law enforcement, including FBI agents John Connolly and John Morris.Shea's story takes a dark turn with tales of violence, debt collection, and the strict code of silence that ultimately led to the mob's downfall as informants, including Bulger and Flemming, shattered trust leading to widespread arrests and convictions. Despite serving 12 years in prison and facing severe consequences for his loyalty, Shea turned his life around, becoming a union construction worker and author.This episode not only delves into the operational intricacies of the Irish Mob but also explores the human side of organized crime through Shea's raw and honest reflections. It's a powerful narrative of crime, loyalty, betrayal, and redemption, offering valuable insights into the complexities of those involved and the transformative power of change.00:00 Introduction to John Shea and the Irish Mob00:27 Shea's Early Life in South Boston00:49 Rising Through the Ranks: From Boxing to Drug Dealing01:17 Nicknames and the Mob Family01:33 Working with Whitey Bulger and Steve Flemming02:01 Drug Trade and Power Struggles03:43 The Code of Silence and Loyalty04:09 Shea's Loyalty Tested by Bulger05:16 Shea's Life After Prison08:01 Corruption in Law Enforcement09:12 Bulger's Downfall and Shea's Reflections11:35 Shea's Insights on Organized Crime15:52 Conclusion: Redemption and Lessons Learned Hosted on Acast.
