Customer Reviews
Real good
Real good podcast, very knowledgeable and well researched. Give Roberto a mic!
Pretty good
I’d give it five stars if Roberto wasn’t yelling in the background like a parent from the other room. Give him a mic if he’s going to be that involved.
Great Detroit Podcast
I love hearing about mob history, but I especially love hearing about the Detroit Mafia connections are the truth behind the headlines around the mob.
Please get Roberto his own microphone, he sounds like he’s commenting from a bathroom.
