Following a Peabody nomination and two Webby nominations for Best General Series and Best Documentary Podcast for Season One: The College Admission Scandal, Season Two of Gangster Capitalism has the NRA is in the crosshairs. This season we dissect how the past year has rocked the country’s most powerful special interest organization like none other. Internal power struggles have exposed the group’s questionable, and possibly illegal practices which now threaten the nearly 150-year old nonprofit like never before. We’re pulling back the curtain to reveal that this has little to do with guns. It’s about money. Gangster Capitalism is a creation and production of C13Originals, a division of Cadence13.

Tips
Here’s a tip. Tell us what the resolution is or what is being done to bring justice and peace of mind to American citizens. This story is one of lies, theft, greed and fear. All perpetrated by the same organization that says they are good people. “The best people”. They breed fear and hate for financial gain. Hypocrisy and contradiction are the currency of the NRA.
Gangster Capitalism-Amazing
I was totally hooked on this podcast and didn’t want to stop listening! Excellent podcast. 5 Star for me!
And please, please make them pay!
Wow.
Well researched and presented. Informative. Disturbing. NRA leadership living like kings with no conscience and loss of original mission. Greed with no repercussions never looking back on their path of destruction. Tragic.
