Sammy “The Bull” Gravano sits down with Patrick Bet-David for a raw reckoning with the life he built and the one he left behind. He challenges John Gotti Jr.'s version of mob history, revisits why he cooperated, addresses his past with James Comey, and explains why faith changed everything for him.------

¿Qué pasa cuando un niño aprende que para sobrevivir tiene que dejar de parecer un niño? En este episodio de PENITENCIA, Saskia Niño de Rivera entra al penal de Cadereyta, en Nuevo León, para escuchar a Diego, un hombre de 37 años que creció en la calle y que desde niño fue reclutado por la Chiqui Mafia.00:00:00 - 00:09:25 Crecer sin papás00:09:25 - 00:18:54 La calle fue mi familia00:18:54 - 00:33:26 Reclutado de niño por la Chiqui Mafia00:33:27 - 00:51:00 Aprender a leer por sus hijas00:51:00 - 01:11:10 Perdóname, madreDiego no creció con sus papás. Vivió con sus abuelos hasta que su abuelo murió cuando él tenía 5 años y su abuela un año después. Con un padre ausente y una madre que tuvo que salir a trabajar, la calle se volvió su casa. Ahí formó una familia con otros niños en situación de calle: dormían juntos, comían las sobras que tiraba un restaurante y se cuidaban entre todos. Siendo apenas un niño, adultos se aprovecharon de su hambre y de su soledad, y sufrió violencias que ningún niño debería vivir.Con apenas 12 años ya estaba involucrado en hechos violentos, y poco después fue reclutado junto con otros niños por un grupo criminal. En la Chiqui Mafia se veían como familia, pero para quienes los usaban eran desechables. Diego habla con honestidad de la violencia que ejerció, de cómo la fue normalizando, de su paso por el penal del Topo Chico y por penales federales, y de una condena que llegó a ser de 280 años.Hoy Diego aprendió a leer y escribir en prisión, estudia la secundaria y sueña con estudiar pedagogía para trabajar con niños. Lo mueven sus dos hijas, que viven en Estados Unidos, y su mamá, a quien le dedicó el tatuaje que lleva en los párpados: «Perdóname, madre».Como dice Saskia, nada de lo que Diego vivió justifica la violencia que después ejerció. Pero podemos preguntarnos dónde estuvimos los adultos que debíamos proteger a ese niño y, al mismo tiempo, exigirle al adulto responsabilidad por sus decisiones. Las dos cosas pueden ser verdad.PENITENCIA, a través de Fundación Reinserta, apoya a niños y niñas en contacto con la violencia. Encontrando el origen de la violencia para transformarla.¿Quieres ver los episodios antes que nadie?

Jimmy “Easy” Saracco sits with us on The Burn Down Podcast to discuss the insides of the DeCavalcante crime family, the New Jersey Mafia family widely cited as an inspiration for The Sopranos—the money, the violence, the rules, and the people behind it. He opens up about his life in the New York and New Jersey underworld, the crimes he was involved in, the moment everything started falling apart, and the decision to cooperate with the government. From the streets to witness protection, Jimmy tells his story in his own words and what it really cost him to leave that life behind.

Sergio Leone rechazó dirigir El padrino porque quería contar otra historia de gánsteres. Tardó 15 años en conseguirla: Érase una vez en América (Once Upon a Time in America), una película monumental sobre la amistad, la traición, el tiempo y todo lo que el cine es capaz de hacernos recordar.Protagonizada por Robert De Niro y James Woods, la película sigue a Noodles y Max desde su infancia como hijos de inmigrantes en el Nueva York de comienzos del siglo XX hasta su transformación en poderosos gánsteres. Pero Sergio Leone utiliza el mundo del crimen para contar algo mucho más amplio: la historia de una generación, el sueño americano, la inmigración, la pobreza, el poder, el dinero, la amistad y las heridas que deja el paso del tiempo.Encuentra más historias de cine en Cooperativapodcast.cl

On Today's show, we discuss with authors Brian Hochman and Matthew Guariglia how a government investigation led by US senator Frank Church uncovered some of the darkest state secrets of the twentieth century.  The Church Committee confirmed the nation's worst fears about the unchecked power of its intelligence agencies: at the FBI, surveillance campaigns against civil rights leaders and clandestine attempts to disrupt antiwar protests; at the CIA, assassination plots against foreign heads of state, experiments with toxic substances and illegal drugs, and covert partnerships with the Mafia. Brian Hochman is the Hubert J. Cloke Director of American Studies at Georgetown University and author of The Listeners: A History of Wiretapping in the United States. He lives in Washington, DC.  He is the coauthor of The Church Committee Report: Revelations from the Bombshell 1970s Investigation into the National Security State. Matthew Guariglia is a historian and senior policy analyst at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. He is the author of Police and the Empire City: Race and the Origins of Modern Policing in New York and coauthor of The Church Committee Report: Revelations from the Bombshell 1970s Investigation into the National Security State.   —- Subscribe to our podcast: https://plinkhq.com/i/1637968343?to=page Get in touch: lawanddisorder@kpfa.org Follow us on socials @LawAndDis: https://twitter.com/LawAndDis; https://www.instagram.com/lawanddis/ The post The National Security State & the US Government Tradition of Spying on its Own Citizens. appeared first on KPFA.

Tony Alamo Program 272: Roman Canon Law, the Wisdom of Proverbs, and a Warning to Bill Clinton Over Waco World pastor Tony Alamo devotes program 272 of his teaching series to Roman canon law and what he calls Satan's seat in Rome, the wisdom of the Book of Proverbs, and a pointed rebuke of former President Bill Clinton over Waco, with scripture readings led by his co-host Sharon Alamo. Program 272 Opens With Roman Canon Law Tony Alamo greets listeners as world pastor, opening part 170 of his series How to Have God's Life Living in You, program 272. He tells listeners Sharon will give four ways to request a free copy, along with a free Messiah book, other literature, or a Bible for anyone who cannot afford one. He turns to his recurring theme, comparing Roman canon law, which he says the United States adopted upon joining the United Nations, with the law of God, calling the two exact opposites. He argues that joining the World Council and the United Nations cost America its wealth and manufacturing, transferring it to Japan, its former World War II enemy. He places the seat of Satan, whom he calls a great red dragon, in Rome, the city of seven hills, and says Rome itself authored democracy, a system he calls rule by an untrustworthy mob, no better than the crowd God drowned in Noah's flood while sparing only eight people. Democracy, Rome, and the Generals Removed From Power Alamo continues his critique of one-world government, warning that God scattered the nations' languages precisely to prevent them combining under a single law originating from Satan's seat in Rome. He claims that during World War II, conspirators secretly built NATO, brought in Russia, and removed the two generals, Patton and MacArthur, he says could have won the war outright, installing General Eisenhower, whom he calls Casper Milquetoast, in their place because Eisenhower favored NATO and one-world government. He tells the congregation he watched a History Channel program confirming democracy originated in Rome, the city of seven mountains, and argues the media functions as the mouth of Satan, shaping opinion until the mob believes lies about Jesus having relationships with women or never truly dying on the cross. He insists God alone should govern, citing Moses as ruler of both church and state, and says he supports dictatorship only when God is the dictator. A Prayer and Jesus Loves Me From the Life Choir Alamo leads the studio in prayer, asking the Father to open hearts and minds so listeners reject what he calls the abominations taught by Satan's government, church, and media, and prays that the 144,000 Jews he expects to be saved receive God's mark before the four angels of the end times destroy the earth. The congregation answers amen. He then teaches that Jesus, as the Word of God, embodies wisdom, power, and mercy, tying the familiar song Jesus Loves Me to that idea before introducing a recording of the Life Choir performing it under the direction of arranger HB Barnum, whom he calls one of the top five arrangers and producers in the world. During and after the performance, Alamo interjects short exhortations about the Word of God leading believers into heaven, telling listeners to raise their hands and praise the Lord for His power, wisdom, and knowledge. Colossians, Proverbs, and the Hidden Treasures of Wisdom Alamo brings in his co-host, Sharon Alamo, to read Colossians chapter 2, verse 3, walking her line by line through its description of the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden in Christ, and teaching that love means keeping God's commandments rather than affection or physical intimacy. He turns to the Book of Proverbs, explaining that its key word is wisdom, tracing it to Christ as described in Proverbs chapter 8, and crediting Solomon, whom he calls the principal author, with 333 Old Testament prophecies pointing toward Jesus. He describes Proverbs as God's practical instruction for relating to God, to parents, to children, and to neighbors, and argues temporal life is not real life until surrendered to the Lord. He also mentions his own literature titled The True Believer's Sabbath, teaching that every day, not just one day a week, is Sabbath rest for a born-again Christian, since Christ said the Sabbath was made for man. Solomon's Wisdom, Sin, and Unconditional Love Rejected Alamo continues teaching that Solomon asked God for wisdom rather than riches and became the wisest man in the world until he disobeyed the Lord's instruction to marry only godly women, falling into idolatry in his later years. He warns the same fate can befall anyone who grows careless, insisting love for God is conditional, not unconditional as he says many preachers falsely claim. He rejects the idea that a believer can keep sinning, naming lying, stealing, and sexual sin, and says preachers who promise otherwise are weak and destined for the lake of fire alongside those they mislead. Sharon then reads from Proverbs chapter 8, and Alamo interprets each line as wisdom, meaning Jesus, calling out to sinners in the highest places and at the city gates. He describes his own appearance, joking that his sunglasses, worn because of glaucoma, make some think he resembles the Mafia rather than a conventional preacher. A Warning to Clinton, a Testimony, and a Closing Prayer Alamo turns his warning toward former President Bill Clinton, referencing a news article in which Clinton reportedly called sending troops to Waco his worst mistake, and tells Clinton that what happened there was sin, not a mistake, naming Janet Reno alongside him and urging both to repent and be washed in the blood of Jesus. Running low on time, he has Sharon read a testimonial from a listener named Brother Martin in San Diego, California, describing his eight-year-old son's recovery from a serious virus in Mexico after prayer with the ministry's prayer-line volunteer, Brother Rick. Alamo credits the healing to prayer and invites listeners with illnesses to call or write for prayer. Sharon then reads from 1 Corinthians chapter 1, and Alamo leads the congregation in a spoken sinner's prayer confessing faith in Jesus's death and resurrection. Sharon closes with the ministry's website, Texarkana post office box, phone, and fax numbers before Alamo signs off performing his recording You Can't Take It with You.

Quand on dit « Mafia », on dit beaucoup plus de choses que quand on parle simplement de la pègre, du milieu du crime organisé. Le mot est super chargé : la Mafia, ça porte un imaginaire, une esthétique, un récit qui doit évidemment beaucoup au cinéma de Francis Ford Coppola ou de Martin Scorsese. La Mafia vue par Hollywood, elle porte un paquet de clichés : c'est un crime en costard qui hésite toujours entre le minable et une élégance de façade. On fait péter des rotules pendant que les marmites de pâtes bouillonnent dans l'arrière-cuisine, d'accord, mais avec un œillet à la boutonnière et un chapeau à 500 balles. Si l'image de la Mafia est liée aux Etats-Unis par notre imaginaire, c'est pourtant, on le sait bien au fond, un produit d'importation ! Parce que la Mafia américaine, c'est à peu près aussi italien que les pâtes à la carbonara ! Alors, quand et comment est-elle née ? Bonne écoute !

In this captivating 2nd installment of the Dorothy Kilgallen miniseries, we trace how a 1938 Broadway gossip columnist transformed herself into one of the most formidable investigative figures in Cold War America. We examine her meteoric media empire—spanning her nationally syndicated The Voice of Broadway column read by 20 million people across 146 newspapers, her daily radio show with husband Richard Kollmar, and her iconic Sunday night seat on CBS's What's My Line?. We explore her public feuds, including her bitter clash with Frank Sinatra, as well as her complex personal life inside her five-story East 68th Street Manhattan townhouse.We go behind the courtroom doors of the 1954 Dr. Sam Sheppard murder trial in Cleveland, unearthing the explosive secret that Dorothy guarded for a decade. We detail how trial judge Edward Blythin summoned her into his private chambers before a jury was even seated and declared that Sheppard was "guilty as hell"—a staggering breach of judicial neutrality. We analyze how Dorothy's sworn affidavit, delivered years later to young defense attorney F. Lee Bailey, became a cornerstone of the federal habeas corpus petition that ultimately reached the U.S. Supreme Court, setting off the legal chain reaction that overturned Sheppard's conviction and secured his eventual acquittal.Finally, we confront Dorothy's dangerous early run-ins with federal intelligence agencies and J. Edgar Hoover's FBI. We examine her 1951 reporting on Radio Free Europe subversion, where she politely but firmly refused CIA interrogation attempts to name her source, and her prophetic July 1959 column revealing that the Mafia was actively plotting to assassinate Fidel Castro—a full year before the CIA's top-secret mob plots were formally initiated. We set the stage for her 1964 arrival at the Dallas courthouse for Jack Ruby's capital murder trial, where Judge Joe B. Brown granted her an exclusive, private one-on-one interview with Ruby in his chambers, launching the relentless two-year independent investigation into the JFK assassination that would follow her to her grave.

Today we talk with C.E. Massari about his original graphic novel The Mafia vs The Klan now live on Kickstarter. The setting of the 1920's Prohibition period where the title character loosely based on the life of C.E. Grandfather's time in segregated Virginia before settling in the Philly/South Jersey Area. Mario just opened his first restaurant with employees different racial backgrounds that the South in the 1920's just ain't use to. A botched assassination by the KKK takes the life of his daughter in what was meant for him. Law enforcement not being the best to respond to crime like this, Mario has to look for alternatives in the help from the Mafia from up North. This comes with a bargain that will change Mario's life.Written by C.E. MassariArtwork by Martin GimenezLetters by Dave LentzEdited by Drena Jo

In this episode, we continue our History of the Pittsburgh Mob series with the Monastero-Pangallo War—a bloody struggle that begins with Stefano and Sam Monastero at the height of their power and ends with nearly every major figure at the center of Pittsburgh's underworld dead.By the mid-1920s, the Monastero brothers have built one of the most powerful criminal organizations in western Pennsylvania. Behind the legitimate Pittsburgh Fruit Exchange stands a sprawling bootlegging operation supported by associates, gunmen, and Mafia members. Among the most important are two very different racketeers: flamboyant Sicilian bootlegger Luigi “The Big Gorilla” Lamendola and the quieter Calabrian Giuseppe “Joe” Pangallo.Exactly how these men fit together remains one of the mysteries at the heart of the story. Some accounts describe Lamendola and Pangallo as Monastero lieutenants; others suggest Pangallo was an independent power increasingly at odds with both men. When Lamendola is murdered outside his Chatham Street headquarters in 1927, an even larger question emerges: does his death cause the break between Pangallo and the Monasteros—or is Lamendola himself a casualty of a feud already underway?Whatever the answer, Pangallo soon becomes one of Pittsburgh's most hunted gangsters.Someone plants dynamite beneath his automobile. Gunmen apparently hunt for him at his shoe-repair shop. Four men ambush him in the Hill District with shotguns and a rifle, hitting Pangallo multiple times as he returns fire. Then they try again. Somehow, Joe Pangallo keeps surviving.Meanwhile, the Monastero organization comes under attack from another direction. The massive federal Pittsburgh Rum Ring investigation sweeps Steve into a conspiracy case involving 167 defendants, more than 1,100 grand-jury witnesses, bootleggers, politicians, and members of the Pittsburgh Police Department.Then the violence begins cutting into Steve's organization. His longtime business partner and alleged Mafia underboss Nicasio “Nick” Landolina is murdered outside his Mayflower Street home. Two months later, his relative Tony Landolina is attacked on Penn Avenue. The episode also follows the extraordinary bombing of Pittsburgh attorney Morris Curran as violence surrounds the Rum Ring prosecution.By 1929, the federal case is beginning to unravel and Steve Monastero returns to Pittsburgh. But outside St. John's Hospital, armed men are already waiting inside a curtained sedan.When Steve and Sam arrive, the trap is sprung.Big Steve Monastero is murdered.Police immediately focus on Pangallo. The investigation finally brings his feud with Steve into the open. Pangallo admits they had once been allies—but when detectives ask why their friendship ended, he dismisses years of dynamite, gunfire, and murder with an extraordinary answer:“Oh, for nothing.”Despite police confidence, they cannot prove Pangallo killed Steve. No witness places him at the scene. No physical evidence connects him to the murder. Pangallo produces an alibi, and once again, Joe “The Ghost” Pangallo walks away.Then, after surviving dynamite, shotguns, rifles, repeated assassination attempts, and years of gangland warfare, Pangallo meets an ending almost nobody could have predicted:He dies peacefully at home from pneumonia.But the story still isn't over.Only weeks later, on March 18, 1930, Sam Monastero—now leading what remains of the organization he built with his brother—is murdered.In less than three years, Lamendola, Pangallo, Nicasio Landolina, Steve Monastero, and Sam Monastero are all dead. Yet the Pittsburgh Mafia survives. Their deaths simply create a vacuum—and Giuseppe Siragusa, John Bazzano, and the Volpe brothers are already waiting to fill it.This is the story of the Monastero-Pangallo War, the collapse of the Monastero organization, and the end of an era in the history of the Pittsburgh Mafia.

This week I am talking to Randall Fitzgerald about his book 'Alien in the Mirror: Extraterrestrial Contact Theories and Evidence'.For independent-minded readers, those who want all of the theories and supporting evidence to make up their own minds, Alien in the Mirror brings refreshing clarity and sanity to a topic long shrouded in smoke and mirror confusion.Encyclopedic in its scope and mind-expandingly rich in its detail, this book is destined to be a classic, written by an investigative reporter, Randall Fitzgerald, who has studied the alien contact phenomenon for over five decades.All aspects of this controversial subject are comprehensively covered—ancient astronaut theories, UFOs and UFO occupants, contactees and abductees, the ideas of skeptics and debunkers, and the SETI science program and its detractors. Each of the five sections open with new findings and stunning revelations from the author's own thorough investigations.Alien in the Mirror is quite literally a condensation of information from hundreds of books. It represents the most authoritative and complete guide to the realm of extraterrestrial contact, theories and evidence, ever compiled. It presents a fascinating definitive history of the phenomenon, giving readers objective and essential information that challenges us to reexamine what we think we know about our consensus reality.As the legendary theorist and scientist Jacques F. Vallée writes in his Foreword to Alien in the Mirror: “This book will stand as testimony to a well-traveled road of investigation and wonder. We should acknowledge it with gratitude, not only for its neat classification of complex events, but for the hope it gives us of a long-delayed, much welcome re-awakening of the true spirt of science after seventy years of slumber.”BioRandall Fitzgerald's ten books (and more than 50 books as a ghostwriter) have been pioneering explorations of a wide variety of topics, reflecting his diverse interests and an insatiable curiosity cultivated by 35 years as a newspaper and magazine journalist. For two decades he was a Roving Editor for Reader's Digest and also wrote investigative feature articles for The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal.He began his journalism career at 19, as a general assignment reporter for The Tyler Morning Telegraph, in Tyler, Texas. While in journalism school at the University of Texas at Austin, he worked as a political reporter in the state capitol bureau of The Houston Post and spent a semester as a Congressional Fellow in Washington, D.C., working as press secretary to a U.S. Congressman. In August 1974, the week that Richard Nixon resigned as President, he became an investigative reporter for newspaper syndicated columnist Jack Anderson, in Washington, D.C.He received a grant from the Fund for Investigative Journalism in 1975 to investigate the Mafia and CIA connections of the publisher of The National Enquirer by going undercover as a reporter for the tabloid. His first book contract came from Pocket Books/Simon & Schuster, based on his Enquirer investigation. His second book appeared in 1979, from Macmillan, The Complete Book of Extraterrestrial Encounters, the cover of which was immortalized in Ron Howard's extraterrestrial-themed film Cocoon. During 1978-80, he co-edited Second Look magazine, devoted to articles about the search for extraterrestrial life, the nature of consciousness, and the origins of civilization. He edited articles from some of the biggest names in science and science fiction---Isaac Asimov, Stanislaw Lem, Sir Fred Hoyle, Paul Davies, Sir Roger Penrose. In 2003 and 2004, he was a Senior Editor of Phenomena magazine, founded by former Hollywood studio executive Jeff Sagansky.Two of his books, Lucky You! (2004, Citadel/Kensington) and The Hundred Year Lie (2006, Penguin/Dutton) were Amazon.com bestsellers.

Puntata a cura di Jacopo Bulgarini d'Elci e Livio Pacella.L'ottima serie documentaria Untold racconta lo sport americano guardando ciò che accade fuori dal campo. Qui discutiamo quattro documentari del ricco format di Netflix: The Liver King, Corruzione sul ghiaccio, Jake Paul, L'ascesa e la caduta di Brett Favre. Mafia, influencer, scandali, reputazioni costruite e distrutte. Il filo rosso è dato dall'intreccio tra sport, soldi e "corruzione". E da una divorante megalomania. Mentre emerge una trasformazione: in Untold, lo sport appare sempre meno separabile dal circo mediatico e dall'economia dell'attenzione…"Documentari" è il format del podcast di Mondoserie dedicato all'approfondimento delle produzioni non di fiction.Leggi il nostro articolo su Liver King: https://www.mondoserie.it/the-liver-king/  Leggi il nostro articolo su Jake Paul: https://www.mondoserie.it/jake-paul/Parte del progetto: https://www.mondoserie.it/  Iscriviti al podcast sulla tua piattaforma preferita o su: https://www.spreaker.com/show/mondoserie-podcast  Collegati a MONDOSERIE sui social:https://www.facebook.com/mondoserie https://www.instagram.com/mondoserie.it/   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwXpMjWOcPbFwdit0QJNnXQ  https://www.linkedin.com/in/mondoserie/ 

Lewis Rice spent 26 years inside the DEA, working undercover cases and helping take down some of the biggest drug traffickers in America in the 1970's, 80's & 90's. After earning his Criminal Justice degree from St. John's University, he joined the DEA and went on to coordinate major international investigations targeting violent cartels in Miami — cases that seized millions of dollars in cash and thousands of kilos of cocaine and heroin. He worked directly with infamous Harlem drug kingpin Frank Lucas after Lucas became a government cooperator, using his information to help convict major traffickers. Rice eventually rose through DEA leadership positions in Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Detroit, and New York before becoming Special Agent in Charge of the DEA's flagship New York office — making him the youngest SAC in the entire agency at the time. After 26 years on the front lines of America's war on drugs, he retired in 2001. _____________________________________________  #miami #truecrimestories #cops #mafia #newyork _____________________________________________ Thank you to CASH APP for sponsoring this episode: Download Cash App Today: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/6pao71et #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

Indiana football is not just winning games — it is changing how people see IU, Bloomington, and the entire Hoosier fan experience. In this CrimsonCast episode, Galen Clavio introduces Kamady Rudd to the Back Home Network family for a wide-ranging conversation about Josh Hoover, the new Indiana football culture, social media buzz, and the growing Bison Mafia movement.Kamady brings a sports broadcasting background, IU roots, and a new role with The Media School, where she is helping lead the broadcast journalism curriculum. She and Galen start with her path from Brown County and Indiana University into television, sports coverage, sideline reporting, and now teaching the next generation of broadcasters.From there, the conversation turns to the Hoosiers. After Indiana's 52-16 win over North Texas and with Howard coming up, Galen and Kamady talk about what still feels surreal about IU football's rise. The fan base is adjusting to a new reality after a Big Ten title and national championship, and there may not be a shortcut to fully understanding what Indiana has become.The biggest on-field image from the opener was Josh Hoover's bloody-face moment. Kamady argues that the image matters because it instantly gives fans and teammates a visual of toughness, leadership, and buy-in. Galen connects that to the larger question of team culture: each season has its own personality, and Indiana has to rebuild leadership after the unique presences of players like Fernando Mendoza, Kurtis Rourke, and Pat Coogan.The second half of the episode moves into the cultural side of IU football's rise. Galen and Kamady discuss influencers showing up in Bloomington, how social media can make IU look fun and exciting to prospective students, and why football success can reshape the university's image in ways traditional media cannot. They also look at the student section, Greek life, tailgating, Bison Mafia, and whether Indiana could develop a more SEC-style football social culture while still keeping its own Big Ten identity.The show closes with the CrimsonCast Dog of the Week contest, and this week's co-winners: Sarah and Maximilian, submitted by Rob and Janet Baller.Subscribe to the Back Home Network for more CrimsonCast coverage of Indiana football, IU athletics, the Hoosiers, Big Ten football, Bloomington culture, and the 2026 college football season.

"When I started this clown thing, I thought it would be nothing but glory—you know, the glory of being a clown? I tell ya, it's hard, tiring work. But when I see the smiles on their little faces, I just know they're getting ready to jab me with something." - Homer Simpson Following the instructions of roadside billboards, Homer enters Krusty's clown college, and soon finds himself working a buffoonery-based part-time job where he's kicked by kids, bit by dogs, and admired by the elderly. But he discovers that the few perks of being confused for Krusty the Clown don't outweigh the major downside: Mafia reprisal.

In Albania's turbulent Nineties, the small, seaside town of Vlore became a gangster's paradise, playing host to hundreds of crooks ferrying drugs, weapons and people into nearby Puglia alongside Italian mafiosi. One of them was a slim, slick-haired former military man named Artur Shehu, who amassed a formidable property portfolio across Vlore — most reckoned, due to his friends in the Sacra Corona Unita, Italy's “fourth Mafia.” But when a 1999 bar gunfight forced Shehu into hiding, only to reappear in Miami two years later, his life was sent on a wild journey that would collide, in 2020, with America's first family. And its fallout would echo to the highest levels of politics, crime and controversy in Albania and far beyond. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Jimmy “Easy” Saracco lived the kind of Mafia life most people only know from movies. In this episode, the former DeCavalcante associate opens up about coming up in New York's underworld, making serious money through bookmaking and loansharking, carrying out violent orders, and operating around the New Jersey crime family often associated with the real-life inspiration behind The Sopranos. Jimmy also tells the story of his explosive feud with John Gotti Jr., including his claim that Gotti Jr. was involved in a plot to have him killed. After surviving a brutal attack that left him stabbed and in a coma, Jimmy says he wanted revenge—but Mafia politics made Gotti Jr. untouchable. Years later, the world Jimmy had lived by began collapsing from the inside. Bosses, captains, and associates started cooperating with the federal government, leaving Jimmy facing the possibility of spending the rest of his life in prison. Eventually, he made the decision he once thought was unthinkable: he cooperated too. Jimmy explains why he flipped, what it felt like walking out of his first proffer session, the murders and rackets he admitted involvement in, his time in witness protection, and why he says his life today is better than the one he left behind. This is the story of money, murder, loyalty, betrayal, the real-life Mafia world behind The Sopranos—and what happens when the code everyone swore to live by finally falls apart. Go Support Jimmy!
