Maybe the original Olympic games and sports origins rules are to blame? Or perhaps a historic lack of visibility plays an important role.

    THE DOWNFALL OF AL CAPONE: WHO IS TO BLAME?

    Who’s to blame for the downfall of Al Capone?
    This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes writer Seth Reiss to take on the downfall of one of history’s most infamous mobsters, Al Capone. And we nailed it! Or did we? If indeed Capone had a downfall, who was ultimately to blame? Did his violent leadership style lead to his eventual demise? Was it the familiar tale of tax evasion? Or is defeat just part of the lifestyle when you’re public enemy number one? Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early join the conversation.

Historical & Hilarious

I've only discovered this podcast last year and as a huge history geek it quickly became a top favorite of mine. Not only do I learn from it in the most fun kind of way but it also makes me laugh out loud and eases my anxiety. Would 100% recommend!
