Biker gangs like the Hell's Angels first established themselves in the USA, but have since spread around the world, becoming global movements. Members see themselves as outcasts from society, and those who belong to these so-called "one per center" motorcycle clubs have their own strict rules and rituals. Some members are attracted by a love of bikes, and the sense of brotherhood being in a motorcycle gang brings. But police say some "one per center" gangs are criminal enterprises, responsible for mayhem and even murder. For Gangster Presents, Angels and Outlaws, Livvy Haydock explores the world of biker gangs.

A brilliant in-depth look at the wounds, trauma inflicted inmates in the United Kingdom hold and the links they will go to in order to soothe that pain
Super good!

The background sounds and music that are all built in to create the scene and the sense of drama get to be too much, to the point that I’ve stopped listening to the episodes/series in some cases because it’s just not enjoyable. The story is lost in them.
what did you say?

I'm here listening to this podcast on the North Shore of Massachusetts and I can't understand one word that is being said by the criminals/ witnesses on this podcast!! Specifically the Paul Massey episodes, whenever Paul Massey is speaking I can NOT understand one word he is saying even though he is speaking (I can only presume) English!!! What is the point if the only poeple that can understand Paul Massey are the locals of the Manchester neighborhood of Salford that can speak (and understand) that very particular (peculiar?) dialect of English!!
