WELCOME TO YOUNGSTOWN MOB TALK
James Naples III & Johnny Chechitelli explore the true organized crime history of Youngstown, Ohio... aka "Crimetown USA." From car bombs ("Youngstown Tune-Ups") to rub-outs of every other type, this small steel city and its surrounding Mahoning Valley endured several violent, mafia turf wars throughout the 20th century. James & Johnny investigate unsolved cases and interview subjects connected to Youngstown's organized crime history as well as authors of books on the subject.
For more from James and Johnny check out The Vice Squad podcast and we recommend Crooked City: Youngstown, also produced by Johnny Chechitelli.
