Episode 60: Bib Overalls and Boston Mobsters- Enrico Ponzo
Known as the gateway to the Owyhee Mountains, Marsing, Idaho is a small agricultural community tucked between the snake river and a butte resembling a sunbathing lizard. It was a quiet community, where everyone knew everyone's business, or so the residents thought. Until February 2011, when Federal Agents descended and one of their own turned out to be the total opposite of the overall bib wearing semi-rancher he’d been to them for the past decade. This is the story of John Jay Shaw, AKA Enrico Ponzo.

Customer Reviews
So fun!
I love listening to these ladies, they crack me up! I love how they banter back and forth, and share snippets of their day or week. I’ve enjoyed learning about some of the history of Idaho since moving here a little over a year ago. We checked out the old state penitentiary last summer and I think I was a little too drawn in with the history of the building and some of the inmates. So when they did an episode after going there I had to listen. They’d be such fun gals to hang with.
Interesting stories!
Interesting ghost stories, I don’t care for the politics and the murder mysteries.
I’m not someone who is normally into crime shows but I love this podcast
I love forward to every new episode. The ladies do a great job of doing the work to understand the cases from all angles (and admit when they’ve made an error). And while their presentation is funny at times, they are sensitive to the victims. Keep up the good work!
