This is a series of many stranger-than-fiction tales in which each season will revolve around crime in a specific city. But the magic of this podcast doesn’t stop with the host’s incredible interviews of people relevant to the story and the incredibly thrilling information it provides- on top of all of this, the hosts have managed to put together an incredible website stocked full of pictures of the people in these stories.
The first season focuses on the city of Providence, Rhode Island, where organized crime and corruption affected every aspect of public life. This is a story of alliances and betrayals, of heists and stings, of crooked cops and honest mobsters — a story where it’s hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys.
