The conversation hits on Michael Genovese, John LaRocca, and various periods in the Family's history as well as the social and cultural environment of the region's Italians.

Please consider Paul Hodos' book: Steel City Mafia

Also, not for nothing but JCB needs to start doing his own ORV-centric podcast. He's going to be doing more stuff with us but I'd like to see him start doing his own thing with him as the lead. I've offered to edit and set things up. I would ask the forum members listen and if agree, state so.

Alot of us on this forum are troves of information and I keep saying guys on here need to take their knowledge to the masses. I'll help in whatever way I can. JCB is one of those guys.

You and Paul hit it out of the park. We couldn't have done a Pittsburgh episode like this without your extensive knowledge and it's amazing how much you know off the top of your head.

[Angelo Santino]

Not to mention, the extensive amount of photos in this episode. Many of them came from James's private collection. This is really a tremendous episode. Thanks to the both of you.

[Cheech]

Very nice guys.

[Ed]

I look forward to watching the video. It's good to learn about Mafia groups outside New York and Chicago.

Great episode, would love to have JCB do his own podcast.

He said it was his first time on a podcast. He's a natural who we'll def be having back on.

Great stuff guys. Thoroughly enjoyed this episode.

[Mustangsally]

Super entertaining and very well done. Most lcn stuff on YouTube pretty much involves mob groupies clawing at each other like retards and begging for donations. Nobody has the historical knowledge that you guys bring to the table. Again, well done.

Another great episode

[JCB1977]

Angelo, Antillar, B & Tony deserve the credit for putting this podcast together. I’m appreciative to be a small part of the podcast. We have a great one coming up with a guest author. Stay tuned. Never did anything like this before, it was a blast.

Jimmy, I gotta say. Great fuckin’ episode brother! Much props to you and the man Paul. The public really needs this kind of detailed and informed treatment of the Pitt/YT/Cleve mobs and you two are exactly the guys to do it right. Sorry that I wasn’t able to make it for this episode but I appreciate all the time and effort that you and Paul have put into this subject.

The episode goes hard like a “Youngstown tune-up”.

Just saw this, thanks everyone, it was great being on and I am glad it was entertaining and informative for an audience that is probably the best informed about the mob on this planet. It is rare to get that kind of nuanced discussion on anything, much less something as complex as OC. I have gotten good questions after the show, not all of which I could answer immediately. A few have led me down some welcome rabbit holes and caused me to reach out to some of my contacts too. Thanks Angelo and JCB and the rest of the guys!
