Great episodes on Joe Barbara!

Please do a show about Angelo Polizzi. He connected so many factions from Pittston to NY to Detroit. More important than anyone realizes.

Good start!

There are others in this space — Nadu’s Excellent ‘The Sit Down’ for example — but there is room here for others with a serious interest, and when the host is devoted to accuracy. Stoops offers a look at history and background and while he is sometimes reading from texts on the topic he has chosen well. The Castellammarese war is interesting, for example, and Stoops did a good episode on this. Give this a listen if you are interested in this area. Like most new podcasters, Stoops will get better at this as he goes along and is worth a listen. One background music is a bit too loud and very distracting — try saving it for transitions but silence it while Stoops is talking.
