Customer Reviews
Better the watching “boss mini series”
Rod has what Trump has.
Courage and facts based on historical events in Chicago history.
I too believe better days are looking for Rod.
Too bad our government is so corrupt in so
many ways that it takes an insider to tell you the truth.
God bless you Rod.
And thank you for speaking the truth.
We need more people like you to get this great country back on track.
Keep up the great podcast
And don’t let anyone tell you what to say or do.

Christmas in prison
I’ve spent the last couple of Christmas’s incarcerated as well. I really related to that episode. Thanks for putting that out there. I appreciated your take on it. Glad you are back with your family. You got a raw deal. Merry Christmas.
