Al Capone All-American: Downfall and the Feds

SUBSCRIBE TO THE NEW HOME OF THE OUTFIT ON PATREON! https://www.patreon.com/TheOutfitPod Parting is such sweet sorrow, and never more-so than in the season one finale of The Outfit. In the final episode of “Al Capone: All-American,” Al Capone, at the height of his powers, finds himself trapped in a gilded cage — hunted by gangland enemies, the IRS, the President, and a little-known fed named Eliot Ness. And just as we can learn from history on how to launch a podcast on Patreon, Capone's successors learned how best to hang on to the power he lost—a dark lesson still adhered to by the gangsters in power today.

Al Capone All-American: The St. Valentine's Day Massacre

February 14th, 1929: a routine police raid on a Chicago garage turns out to be anything but, as seven men are machine-gunned to death; an event colloquially known as the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. In this episode of “Al Capone All-American,” love is NOT in the air, as Dan and Alana find that the dead men are but collateral damage to an insidious gang war gripping the streets of Chicago—and all signs point to one Al Capone. Sources A special debt of gratitude to William J. Helmer & Arthur Bilek, authors of The St. Valentine's Day Massacre: The Untold Story of the Gangland Bloodbath that Brought Down Al Capone--the book which solved the case. A special thank you as well to William J. Helmer for his role in publishing Georgette Winkler's Al Capone and His American Boys: Memoirs of a Mobster's Wife, the most important account of the slayings.

Al Capone All-American: Cicero & Politics

As a wave of political unrest sweeps 1923 Chicago, along comes the rise of a progressive mayoral candidate who vows to take down the bootleggers, effectively driving Al Capone’s operation to the suburb of Cicero, Illinois. In this week’s installment of “Al Capone All-American,” Dan and Alana find the Outfit’s bloody assault on democracy in Cicero is but a prelude for their return to Chicago—installing a buffoonish new mayor all-too reminiscent of a current-day executive.

Al Capone All-American: The North Side Mob

It’s prohibition-era Chicago, and Al Capone and his gang boss, John Torrio, stand to make millions off of bootlegging. As long as crime can be organized along professional boundaries, there should be no need for violence. So why, as Prohibition wore on, did things get bloodier and bloodier? This week, Dan and Alana dig into The North Side Mob, and how their uniquely divided power structure led to an increasingly violent fight for territory.

Al Capone All American: Prohibition

Description: This week, on the next installment of "Al Capone All-American," Dan and Alana turn to the greatest gift Al Capone could have asked for on his 21st birthday: the national prohibition on the sale and manufacture of alcohol. From the Ku Klux Klan, to poisoned rotgut liquor, to the singularly forgotten political genius behind the law, prohibition would come to define an entire era of American history--a story freshly relevant today.
