Ep. 109: History's Most-Feared People, One-Legged Crime Bosses, and North Korea

Everyone has something, or someone they're scared of, and when it comes to the 'most-feared' people of all time, the reputation is almost always well-deserved. On the latest episode of 4Thirty, Ben and Pat scour the history books once again, this time searching for the most infamous and commonly feared individuals and groups of people ever known, from the marauding Vikings of the Middle Ages, to serial killers, criminal kingpins, and more. This week the guys also break down a handful of relivantly-irrelevant news stories and speculate on some random odds and ends, all while finding a way to work football into the discussion yet again. Did a real-life Sicilian mob-boss invoke fear beyond anything shown in movies? What made 16th century Russian ruler 'Ivan the Terrible' so terrible? Is the namesake for football's 'Butkas Award' still the most-feared defender to ever play the game? What's going on in North Korea these days? For answers to these questions and plenty more, please give the latest episode of 4Thirty in the Morning a listen!
