    Improved
    The show is well researched but Jeff inserts way too many of his own opinions and petty beefs.

  • Cupcake sean
    Average at best
    Information is good however his style isnt for me. The inflection he puts into his speech along with the constant saying of the subject name in every episode. If its about john gotti you will hear john gotti what seems like 50 times. At some point we know who you are talking about. I listened for a while because the info is pretty good but i have stopped. The last episode in a 30 min podcast there were 4 commercial breaks. Too much for me

    Great podcast
    Great podcast and I wanted to congratulate you on the mention of your show in the New York Times within the past week as being an initial source of reporting on a particular case that they wrote a story about.
  • Mario's I5
    Hypocrisy at its finest
    Good information. However their man crush they have for Joe Massino who was a RAT just as much as the man they hate Sammy Gravano is quite hypocritical. One minute they call anyone who cooperates a “rat” then praised Massino for a whole episode. Also you guys have got to learn how to talk on a mic. The lack of consistency in the volume is annoying.

  • Rocky Mountain Nole
    Get your audio figured out!
    Listen to exactly 4 minutes of episode 167. You’ve always had audio problems but wow. This time is unbearable. Did you even listen to the episode before releasing. You do great work and I love the pod. But come on man.
  • Carran1966
    Question
    Love the show I’ve noticed that you cover primarily the East Coast mob families; I was wondering if any of the former mob families from the south are still active ie: Texas, Louisiana etc?
  • Hhhhsosgedb
    Stop Talking
    The show would be dramatically better if the guest would be allowed to speak more and not be interrupted
  • boutbread247
    Can you do a bmf episode
    Great show love it
  • InquiryRules
    Very Interesting content
    As someone who has always had an interest in organized crime, I find the episodes well written and researched. The only gentle criticism I would give is the sound quality varies at times and is hard to hear. I will keep listening

    John gotti
    Jeff wants to blow John gotti in the worst way

    OMG!!!
    I cannot believe I just now found this podcast!!! You guys are fantastic!!! LOVE THIS PODCAST! LOVE YOU GUYS!! I started at the very first story and had to immediately skip to Tony Spilatro. I dated one of Tony’s nephews for a long time. We are still very close. He hates talking about his uncle and his “legacy”. He is the son of the brother who kept his hands clean. I attend the Spilatro family reunion every year in Vegas. I have the t-shirts! Love your coverage of Tony. I’m not sure if this podcast is still up and running. I haven’t looked yet because I’ll be heartbroken if it’s not! I went back up to the top and just finished Jimmy Burke. So, I have plenty of episodes to scroll through. Just love you guys!!! 💕 You have surpassed my all of my favorite podcasts! Including True Crime Garage and Sword and Scale! That is saying a lot! 👏😁🫶👍👍👊

    Do your research… “ the Quran doesn’t say anything about killing people in it” . It literally says the trees and stones will give up the Jews hiding behind them so they can be killed by Muslim soldiers of God. Please do not say things as fact when you obviously haven’t done any research. You are better than that and your job description should include research. R.P

    Review is body of work
    I was lucky to find Jeff’s content very early, chad marks and rosso same time early!! Thank you for putting me onto Chad, I’m from Buffalo so it’s been a pleasure to watch him boom and you guys continue to collaborate. Jeff creates content like it his job…. Somewhere in between a historian, journalist, groupie lol. A true expert who treats it like a business. Thanks Jeff! Eric DeVillier

  • jman2323
    Awesome
    Jeff does a great job on this podcast. I particularly enjoy when he has guests on that were once involved in the life. I rarely write reviews but felt the show deserved it after listening to almost every episode. Nice work man!

    Love the Podcast
    Love the podcast and the friendly banter! You guys are amazing, I’ve been listening since season 1 and have loved it. Hoping with, “Gone” you guys do an episode on Amber Hagerman, whose disappearance/murder helped creat the Amber Alert system! Keep it up!
  • Gutstringman
    Thank you
    Jeff, thank you for an always well put together and completely informative show. As someone who used to live in New York City in our lives in California, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this as many of the places you mention are actually real places and I’ve seen them in those of us that I’ve lived in New York really know what you’re talking about. You are wonderful. Please keep doing what you’re doing.

    The sit down
    Please do the Cleveland mafia.
  • D_Dro
    Love it!
    Loved the Sonny Franzese episode! Mob history has always fascinated and intrigued me. It’s nice to hear the back stories of so many of these guys who you only hear about in tv shows or movies. I also enjoy learning about the lesser known people as well. So entertaining! Thank You Jeff and Blackjack!

    Recommendation
    Raymond Patriarca episode please
  • snootybasturd
    It’s actually good
    I actually like the actual show. It actually has good actual information and actually good mob background. I will actually keep actually listening. Actually the only actual thing I actually have actually against the actual show is this. The actual host actually has a an actual verbal crutch that actually gets actually on my actual nerves actually.
  • Karl w/ a ‘K’
    Jeff is the Guy
    Jeff is the guy. You don’t know about the mob? That’s fine, you got Jeff Nadu here. Don’t be a scrub. Listen to the podcast. Only scrubs don’t listen to Jeff Nadu. 10/10
  • ExtremeGamePlayer3000
    Great Show
    This podcast is GREAT because all of the info is accurate. Jeff takes the time to make sure the stories he tells are true and can be verified. If they can’t , he lets you know. This is a great show!!
  • YUsucksobad
    Addictive and fascinating
    I always enjoy listening to someone discuss a topic they are passionate about and this certainly qualifies. Fascinating profiles of assorted organized crime figures, many of whom I’ve never even heard of. Add to that, no non-sequitur political or pandering social justice diatribes up to this point. Pretty rare these days, so I’ll take it!
  • IEM1967
    Some episodes flat
    There are some episodes, including Kansas City episode that are just too dry. By that I mean that it listens like someone reading Wikipedia. In general, I enjoy this show most when the host is discussing things that he seems to have a direct knowledge of. There are shows that seem like filler, which I do understand due to the need to produce content.

    Great Podcast, Very Educating and Entertaining
    I love watching the podcast and the host Jeff provides such a great detail of effort in gathering the information for modern day stuff but also showing pictures and overall just being a great podcast host. I find it entertaining and I love watching his content. He is very creative and unique with his presentation and overall detail of information he has as well. Thanks and keep up the great work Jeff.
