The back-story
This podcast, now in it's third year, began as The Members Only Podcast, but has since been rebranded as The Gangland History Podcast, produced by my company (Gangland History Productions LLC).
This podcast sits at the intersection of my life-long love for history, my love of mob movies, my now decades-long fascination with the Mafia (plus other organized crime groups), as well as my passion for content creation.
“As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster” was the famous line in Goodfellas. In actuality, that’s not me in any way, shape, or form. I’m just an “average nobody” who grew up in the Midwest.
Why listen to this podcast?
The host of this podcast, Jacob Stoops, often jokes that his tombstone will simply say, "He was thorough." Here's some other reasons you may want to listen to him.
Highly-Detailed Content
We go to incredible depths to (no pun intended) dig as deep as possible to find the detailed historical mob-related information.
World-class interviews
We don't just interview the regular mob genre talking heads. We look far and wide to find people willing to tell stories not heard before.
Growing community
While we're not yet a big show, we've been growing steadily and I do my best to provide down-the-middle analysis that stays above the drama.
Questions and answers
We always actively engage our community on YouTube & Patreon. While we're not a walking Encyclopedia, we love discussions.
Real Historical Documentation
We don't bullshit the listeners or perpetuate myths. We do real pain-staking research to find information in historical documents.
