Wisconsin's Gangster History
from Beer, Cheese & Murder Hosted by Erica Z.
The Prohibition and the Great Depression of the 1920s and '30s were lucrative times for outlaws like Al Capone and John Dillinger. Outlaws that they were, they were often on the run, and that usually meant Wisconsin. Wooded and rural, Wisconsin was popular among Chicago-based gangsters for its isolation, not to mention the convenient places to stash booze being smuggled in from Canada. Join the Beer, Cheese, and Murder Gals as we scratch the surface of Wisconsin's gangster history!

Murder in Miami
iHeartPodcasts
In the 1980s crime journalist Phil Stanford dove into the decadent and dangerous world of Miami just as the city was becoming the cocaine- and murder- capital of the United States. His path would place him in the crosshairs of a federal investigation focusing on a mysterious and controversial drug smuggling pilot who claimed to be an operative of the American government- all while flaunting his extensive illicit activity. Murder in Miami traces the connection between the murder of a missing Miami private investigator to the sprawling roots of an international money laundering scheme as Stanford tries to make sense of his role in a surreal story of spies, smugglers, killers and corruption. All reaching to the highest levels on both sides of the law.
