“This was a really interesting look inside the world of the mob. I have a suggestion for the next season: blow the lid off the Trump family’s decades long association with the mob, both La Cosa Nostra (starting with Meyer Lansky & Lucky Luciano) & the Russian mafiya (the “brainy don”,...”Read full review »

“This is a great podcast! Fun and smart and sharp and so informative. Elie Honig manages to weave the facts—just the facts, ma’am—as well as extensive lessons from the law and his own storied career as a federal prosecutor into a riveting and dramatic narrative. And the colorful characters whom...”Read full review »

“Who doesn’t like stories about the Mob? Also Ellie brings a factor of reality to the stories as well. If you like Mob Stories, you will like this Podcast Series!”

“Mr. Honig’s constant self aggrandizing gets in the way of what could stand on its own as an interesting story. His repetitive self promotion in the “I just crack myself up” vein of how much we will love “this and my other podcast” is off-putting. And I do not need to be reminded repeatedly of how...”Read full review »

“I really like that they were able to get the people on who were there- real mob bosses and associates, fbi agents and even judges. It’s pretty rare to get to hear from them, especially so many years later. The stories they tell are real and raw. I often find myself imagining what it was like...”Read full review »

“This was an interesting listen and Arillotta gave a surprisingly matter of fact telling of Springfield’s mob history. I was a bit surprised that Springfield had so few mobsters given it’s proximity to Boston and NY.”

“Very few and far in between that you meet someone like Anthony Arillotta. A Sigma male who was also a member is certainly a dangerous person. I’ve been listening to his story for awhile and he has been very good at his explanation of his life. Your podcast makes it worthwhile. Excellent work.”
