Great mafia podcast Very informative! The host knows his stuff and I appreciate that he is just himself and isn’t a phony. The interviews are good as well. Highly recommended.

Unique and insightful It’s so rare to get an honest look into crime and prison but this is it. The host is an ex- police officer who is bit a bleeding heart by any means, but he recognizes the problems in the justice system. And he’s a decent man who the guests feel comfortable talking to.

What a podcast! Gary Jenkins is the best! I especially like how he mixes in stories from other cities in addition to KC. Jenkins gives a rare look into the back-end operations of the mob, and his personal stories of dealing with mobsters are fascinating..

Definitely worth a listen! I heard Gary on another podcast and decided to check out Gangland Wire. I ended up listening to every single episode from the beginning! It’s fun to have heard the podcast change, grow, and improve. Highly recommend!

The Real Deal Coming from Atlantic City from 1974-2004, working in the casino industry, and once living right in the middle of Nicky Scarfo’s Ducktown neighborhood, I am a true Mafia-phile. Gary is the real deal and I am so grateful that he is sharing all his wonderful knowledge and stories. After decades of hearing these stories through East Ciast accents, I get a huge kick out of this guy with the Midwestern twang.
