Probably the best podcast I’ve ever listened to. I learned so much listening to this. Very eye opening. I can’t wait for season two.

Nothing I have heard, quite ties things together like LB does in this (his)story telling masterpiece. The origin stories of the NSA and FBI and the underworld are so full of detail and connection that when the Russian mob arrives and the current players stories are told one cannot see things at...Read full review »

I wish I had read that this was a one sided, left wing hit piece before I started it.

We all knew Chetolini had mob connections, but Oh My God! LB really ties it together in a deeply interwoven connecting of the dots. You have to pay attention while listening, every little detail is important and comes back around full circle later in the story. Still waiting anxiously for season 2.

It’s just a political hit piece. Could have been a really interesting podcast but missed the mark when she brought the politics into the conversation without any real evidence.

Informative and skilfully written. I especially love ‘storytelling’ episodes. Gives me chills every time.

Thank you for connecting the dots, LB. I highly recommend this podcast for those who are open minded and able to take in information. Some people don’t want you to listen to this. I suggest you do.

What happened to journalist integrity? Stop trying to prove your theories & give facts about both sides!

So far, Season One has been fascinating. I was surprised by the close connections among the criminal mobs, spies, and law enforcement. It’s a tangled web. Looking forward to Season Two!

Anybody trying to do the kind of service for the American people should get more than five stars s. There’s just so much here that can help inform a better and more knowledgeable (and less culpable) future.

Started off strong.. lost me at interviews with absolute bias and without the interviewer providing many counterpoints instead of just agreeing with almost everything their interviewer is saying. Too political
@Lykan.Human.Advanced via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/13/22
What a wonderful podcast. So much valuable information. I feel smarter for listening to it!
kaysqd via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 05/10/22
I’d give this podcast 4.5 stars if that was an option. I love the stories and how deep LB’s research goes. The counterintuitive real history is a surprise compared to the Mob books and movies we assume are correct. It’s a shame the Trump supporters are so upset by the facts: he is third...Read full review »

Great storytelling on a fascinating topic. I don’t usually binge podcasts, but I am binging this one.
Cooksp via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/26/22
I love the stories and the storytelling. But the interviews, not so much.
amb1966 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/15/22
The story of Buggsy Segal meeting Geobbles in Italy was definitely a piece of history I had never heard. Phenomenal story telling She does a fair job at showing how the trump crime family has been laundering enormous amounts of cash, through real estate, for the mob. The Vory v Zakone, not the...Read full review »

Laughable at best, but I guess everybody else was making $ off someone else’s name so what’s one more.
Steelerbb via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/21/22
Too many ads Narrator assumes listener has some degree of knowledge about crime families. Sometimes hard to follow
Tate Causea via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/18/22
First, I’m a paid subscriber and I enjoy the podcast overall. Such great storytelling in the narrative portions. The interviews are sadly not as well done. But this is a technical flaw: It appears that interviews and the narrative portions just cut off, sometimes in the middle of a sentence, so I...Read full review »

She constantly cackles just like kamala Harris, all the while talking about right wing conspiracies and Qanon folks going down rabbit holes on Twitter while admitting that she did the exact same thing in her obsession with Trump. Now with all that said, I enjoy the stuff about the mob but the...Read full review »

When is this series resuming? The deep dive into the layers of corruption is unmatched.
giv61 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/20/21
Ma’am, with all due respect I get that you don’t like trump , but surely through your research you must have came across just a few of the hundreds of things done by or for heavyweight members of the Democratic National Committee. You are an incredible story teller and I will support this...Read full review »

This has a lot of great info but it’s too dry for me. No fun effects or media clips and frankly it’s like listening to an audio book which isn’t what I’m looking for.
fixnowplz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/11/21
Amazing work and presentation LB thank you!
Fangofthetooth via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 12/10/21
I’m really enjoying this podcast. I pop in my AirPods and get a history lesson while I walk my dogs told in way that I think is anything but boring! I love the way LB connects the past and present with the interviews. It’s important to be reminded of the people who shaped history. LB shares...Read full review »
nywldflwr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/27/21
Not only does LB weave a fantastically engaging, super-informative narrative, the emotion behind this series, the curiosity about people (both the heroes and the villains) really stands out. The deep-dive into history, the exploration of cause-and-effect - thank you for this experience, can’t...Read full review »
Nastja_M via Apple Podcasts · Russia · 11/24/21
I’m listening to this to fill in some gaps in my knowledge of the subject matter. LB weAves a great tale and obviously understands pacing to keep the listener interested but she’s annoying and extremely self-aggrandizing at times. Cloaking her identity seems a bit much unless she’s working for...Read full review »

I love the chapters but the interviews I had to skip.
EelizabethH via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/17/21
If there was any doubt that the Orange Vomit is a creature of organized crime, this show dispels it. Listen to learn about the web of intrigue that connects the world beneath and the world above, how Meyer Lansky invented offshore banking. You have to be patient and think. This show is not for...Read full review »

I’m so tired of the anti Trump in every aspect of life. If it didn’t matter to the story why mention it? If you want more exposure and a bigger audience do a better podcast. Relying on Trump hate for a bump in ratings puts you on level with the pseudo journalism of CNN.
No more Prime via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/04/21
LB’s being a story teller brings the real-life stories told here come to life in a most memorable and understandable way. Great series. I’ve shared it with friends and family.
Ilovemovies1976 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/01/21
Fascinating and informative, but I couldn’t get past the interviewer. Her fan girl laughter during the Andrew McCabe interview was too much to bear.
NoviceMomma via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/26/21
I want to listen to this; I want to learn. But I keep looking for an easier way to get the information. There are so many names and nicknames, I can’t keep track of everyone. So many places I’m unfamiliar with that are also hard to remember. Wish LB would let her guests answer her questions, but...Read full review »

Really love the concept, learned so much about American history. I had to skip most interviews, was just hard to listen, a lot of interruptions , suden laugh by the host at the wrong moments. I am sure with a bit more work and editing this could be fixed easily . Good luck and thank you.

Garyboss2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/03/21
I’m listening to the first episode and you said “people are getting it.” Well, they’re no! They are about to vote for him again and I’m hearing none of this content on mainstream media. Also they are saying that people will eventually reject Fox News. Not correct! This podcast is all over the...Read full review »

Wow
Stuff I wish I’d read about in history class. Makes me wonder what our current political situation would be had the public at large been aware of these events. Quite an interesting narrative. Can’t wait for season 2!
hrothboert via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/29/21
I think she has a hard on for trump. Talk about beating a dead horse with that topic. The rest of it is not too bad. Could do less talking on the interviews though.
Blackjackson34 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/28/21
I haven’t done the research. I’m not immersed in the history as LB is. I have no way of knowing if this gorgeously and intricately constructed web is fact or fiction, but I am fascinated by it. She grabbed me with her prose, held me with her charming laugh, and I’ll sit at her feet for every...Read full review »

Fantastic listening to you and your deep dive into our global underworld. Saw you first on Twitter, then Narativ and now this podcast. Your perspective is one I value very much and your enthusiasm for the truth warms this truth-seekers heart!

Seems to be stopped at episode 13 despite having a subscription. Please fix this or refund my subscription.

Excellent. Essential information for Americans to understand what our democracy is up against and how enormous a problem it is. Wish she would let her interview subjects talk more.
