double deal podcast

Post by JakeTheSnake630 »

Fellow New England guys,
What happened to Double Deal podcast? They seem to have just stopped uploading. I've emailed them and never heard anything. It was such a great show especially for NE topics.
If nobody sees it, it didn't happen.

Lara Chicofsky's last Instagram upost is from 5th of December 2022 and their podcast's last Instagram post was from July 2022. I'm wondering if something has happened to her.

I think that Lara is busy with school and work as i inquired about it in Easter by sending her a facebook message.

It was a great show so far as it makes the case that Buddy McLean, Frankie Salemme and possibly Howie Winter were informants in the 1960’s. I hope that the show will come back one day.

David thanks for the update. It just seemed like they stopped out of the blue. Hope they can pick up where they left off, one of the best OC podcasts and the best NE OC podcast for sure.

No worries Jake and could Buddy McLean have been the one to create the relationship between Winter Hill and the Feds? Maybe he recruited Howie Winter into the informant program?

It's possible. I know Condon and Rico hated the McGloughlins so it would make sense that they went to their rivals after the war started. Not sure if the feds were talking to Buddy before the war or not. The Irish gang war of the 60s was kind of like the 3rd Colombo war where the feds were helping one side and that side won the war.

Thanks for your response and would the race fixing still have happened if Buddy was still alive?

100% Those guys loved to gamble. Im sure all of that would have turned out pretty much the same. Although I would love a timeline without Tony Ciulla. Interesting to imagine if he was never around and Buddy never got killed, how it would have changed OC history in Boston.

Thanks for your response JakeTheSnake630 and if Buddy Mclean had lived would he have been listed as an unindicted conspirator along with Flemmi and possibly Bulger? why did Flemmi kill Poulos in Nevada?

I'm starting to get into the "real life The Departed" again. Was obsessed with it 20 years ago. Do they cover Paul Rico any in the Double Deal podcast? That guy is one of the scariest people I've ever heard about in the history of the mob.

Even when he was still considered a "good guy", there was something sinister and off about him. Like in his testimony here: https://www.c-span.org/video/?8402-1/ju ... ment-trial

Yes the double deal podcast covers Paul Rico in their podcast. here are the episodes that cover his career and involvement in Boston's organized crime. https://www.doubledealpodcast.com/category/h-paul-rico/ I think that he, Morris and Connolly were among the worst agents in FBI's history.

their episode about Buddy Mclean also mentions his relationship with Paul Rico. here is the link https://www.doubledealpodcast.com/on-th ... dy-mclean/

Thanks, this is perfect. Morris and Connolly were bad enough but Rico was a full-on gangster in his own right.
