I am a new fan of your podcast. I love listening to true crime and your show is miles ahead of any other especially considering you specialize in organized crime.     Dean

I am from Chicago and I love the podcast and never knew the story about the jury in his trial.   Noah Seidenberg    

We interview noted mob historian and author Scott Deitche about his latest book, Garden State Gangland and the listener learns about the New Jersey crime families. As a bonus, Scott also tells the Wiretappers about Santos Trafficante Jr. and the development of the Tampa crime family. Scott has written six books on organized crime, including Garden State Gangland: The Rise of the Mob in New Jersey, Cigar City Mafia: A Complete History of the Tampa Underworld, The Silent Don: The World of Santo Trafficante Jr., and Rogue Mobster: The Untold Story of Mark Silverman and the New England Mafia. He has written dozens of magazine articles on organized crime and has been featured on The Discovery Channel, The History Channel, A&E, local news shows, and radio. Scott conducts periodic Mafia tours of Cigar City and the different mob historic locations. One of his most interesting books is titled Cocktail Noir. He relates, “I thought Noir was a great concept because a lot of these crime stories and films have bars and drinks that are either important information gathering points and help the story move forward, or they really set the mood of the character and help define them. A great example is Kiss Me Deadly. Mike Hammer goes into the bar [caption id="attachment_4683" align="alignright" width="300"] www.nationalcrimesyndicate.com[/caption] and says, ‘Give me a bourbon and leave the bottle.’ Something about a scene like that says all you really need to know about the type of day he had.” Cocktail Noir blends alcohol, mixers and gangster stories and is shaken, not stirred for a delightful montage of short stories. Most recently Scott has gone on the Board of Directors of the Las Vegas Mob Museum. He lives in St. Petersburg, Florida with his family.   Don't forget to listen to Aaron on the Big Dumb Fun...

From Ireland, we love listening to true crime and your show is miles ahead of any other especially considering you specialize in organised crime.   Dean

These tapes of crimes, criminals, gangs, mobs and mob members are so (much fun) intriguing.  Your discussions are so real that it put a person right alongside what has been investigated.  I love the mob stories, and really got into the Berdella story with Troy Cole.  Thanks Gangland Wire, look forward to your work, great job Phil Cochran

I just discovered your podcast today, I probably listened to about 4 episodes while at work. Can't wait for work tomorrow so I can listen to more. Thank you for sharing your info and doing the research you do. I read a book called when the mob ran Vegas and man I was hooked. I bought the book while in Vegas, so when I went back a couple years later I was pretty excited to check all the spots out. Now after listening to your podcast I'm pretty sure my next trip is going to be Kansas City you definitely have peeked my interest. Looking forward to listening to more. Thank you again Taylor in Canada

Thanks Gary and Aaron for the best true crime reporting on the internet.
