    Bonus - Patty Cannon and the Reverse Underground Railroad on The Vintage Villains Podcast with Allison Dickson

    In this bonus episode, Alison Dickson and Jayson unraveled a dark saga of Patty Cannon, a mastermind behind what was called the reverse underground railroad. Patty and her gang, The Johnson Cannon Gang would capture free blacks and runaway slaves in the north and sell them to Southern Plantation owners who are desperate in the wake of them after imported slaves were banned in 1807. Patty and her gang focused on making mayhem and stole up to 10,000 individuals but Patty in her own right was a noted serial killer with some account stating that she had dozens of bodies of men, women and children of varying ages buried on her property. At the time of her 1829 arrest, Patty Cannon was someone who was just looking for financial profit or is the financial profit just cover for the serial killing that she wanted to do?

Conversations that inspire

Jayson’s interview style is on another level. He enters without an agenda but let’s his guest share their story. In so doing, we hear from the guest’s heart and there is always value in what we hear.

Normally I do chores whilst listening to podcasts but with this one I find I want to concentrate on every word. It is uplifting and inspiring, although I have been moved to tears because the story resonates.

My recommendation is to listen to episode 1, then choose an episode that is relevant to one’s life, it will be a hard not to want to listen to the rest and eagerly anticipate Tuesday for the next episode.
