The Confessions of Anthony Raimondi

4.4 (36)
TRUE CRIME
WEEKLY SERIES

In 1978, Pope John Paul I was found dead in his bed just 33 days after he was elected. The official story is that he suffered a fatal heart attack. But in the years since his death, some have claimed he was murdered to cover up crimes in the Vatican. The question of the Pope’s death has never been definitively answered, but there is one man who claims to know the truth. A man from one of New York City’s crime families who has deep ties to the Italian mafia. He was there the day of the Pope’s death and witnessed his murder firsthand. Or, at least, that’s what he says. His name is Anthony Raimondi, and these are his confessions. From USG Audio and Truth Media in association with Clockwork Films

Highly recommend this entertaining podcast, very well made and presented. Not the usual con artist podcast full of space fillers l, repetition and endless commercials. Very clear and to the point.
Well produced

I feel like I didn’t learn a huge amount from this series past the first episode. Even hearing from Mark/Mordecai himself wasn’t super enlightening as to the nature of his scamming or his motivations - it just felt like he was spinning yet another story. Interesting premise for a podcast, but ultimately didn’t really go anywhere past ‘this man is a scammer’.
Poorly edited

Could barely listen as the editing was so poor. Clips overlapping so two voices at once. Clips just cut off mid sentence and talked over by the host. No idea why a random irrelevant episode was added at the end? What’s with that?! I thought there would be more to it and was expecting some kind of finally but nothing. If nobody is telling their own story as all names were changed, I’m not sure what the purpose of this show was? Only real moral is “Don’t trust people you talk to online”. Didn’t hear.[[ any resources or anything? I guess it was just a rant about this guy - which is deserved as he’s clearly got some issues but again, no resources or advice regarding MH or safeguarding signs like most podcasts would offer. Felt like badly edited gossip evening instead of a podcast
