Nothing else better

I’ve listened to this show since it kicked off and these guys are more detailed, more accurate, and more picturesque then any crime doc or crime biopic out there! I’ve read organized crime since i started reading! I saw the godfather at age 6. And from that point i wanted this to be my world. And these two give you everything you need!! I have listened to each episode 3 or more times!!
