Gangster Chronicles

Great seeing you guys get Greg Kading on. Very knowledgeable and tells it how it was. Can’t wait for the future projects you guys bring. Great work. The new show is good

Bring back Alex and reggie

This podcast is going down hill fast. No one cares about what Norm Steele has to say (he basically some random guy trying to self insert) . He should stay behind the scenes.

Love the show

Hoping you can get Keefe D or Tray Dee on the show but save that for when Reggie gets out. Loved MC EIHT's cameo too. Big James you're an inspiration to a lot of people big guy. Sending love from 🇦🇺
