  • Al Capone Stories

    I’m really enjoying listening to the Al Capone stories and the hosts do an excellent job of being both entertaining and informative. I would like to hear more about his national influence namely his dealings in “little Chicago” or Johnson City TN. Again wonderful storytelling mixed with a healthy dose of wit and comedy. A very wonderful podcast!!!

  • Great historical context

    Very fun podcast. The hosts are engaging and it feels well researched. Keep up the good work. The reviewers who are complaining about the politics are just uncomfortable with the mirror showing they are the bad guys in history.

  • Too Rambling

    I want to love this so bad - I’m up to date with the Al Capone episodes and am so confused after each episode. I love that the hosts are having fun but the random tangents make the story so confusing! I find myself googling after each segment.
