  • 354: The Notorious Reno Gang w/ Rachel Dickinson
    Jul 30 2024
    The Reno Gang is best known for being the first group of outlaws in history to rob a moving train, but their criminal enterprises stretched far beyond that. They were counterfeiters, thieves, safecrackers and murderers as well. Led by John and Frank Reno, they terrorized the town of Seymour, Indiana throughout the second half of the 1860s until they were finally brought down by both Alan Pinkerton and local vigilante groups. My guest this week is Janice Dickinson, author of " The Notorious Reno Gang: The Wild Story of the West's First Brotherhood of Thieves, Assassins, and Train Robbers."

  • 353: The Incorruptibles w/ Dan Slater - A True Crime History Podcast
    Jul 24 2024
    In the early 1900s, prior to World War I, New York City was a vortex of vice and corruption. On the Lower East Side, then the most crowded ghetto on earth, Eastern European Jews formed a dense web of crime syndicates. Gangs of horse poisoners and casino owners, pimps and prostitutes, thieves and thugs, jockeyed for dominance while their family members and neighbors toiled in the unregulated garment industry. But when the notorious murder of a gambler attracted global attention, a coterie of affluent German-Jewish uptowners decided to take matters into their own hands. Worried about the anti-immigration lobby and the uncertain future of Jewish Americans, the uptowners marshalled a strictly off-the-books vice squad led by an ambitious young reformer. The squad, known as the Incorruptibles, took the fight to the heart of crime in the city, waging war on the sin they saw as threatening the future of their community. Their efforts, however, led to unforeseen consequences in the form of a new mobster class who realized, in the country’s burgeoning reform efforts, unprecedented opportunities to amass power. My guest is journalist Dan Slater, author of "The Incorruptibles: A True Story of Kingpins, Crime Busters, and the Birth of the American Underworld".

  • 352: The Ward-Peters Murder Case w/ James Polchin - A True Crime History Podcast
    Jul 17 2024
    On the morning of May 16, 1922, a young man’s body was found on a desolate road in Westchester County. The victim was penniless ex-sailor Clarence Peters. Walter Ward, the handsome scion of the family that owned the largest chain of bread factories in the country, confessed to the crime as an act of self-defense against a violent gang of “shadow men,” blackmailers who extorted their victims’ moral weaknesses. From the start, one question defined the investigation: What scandalous secret could lead Ward to murder? My guest is author and historian James Polchin, whose latest book, "Shadow Men: The Tangled Story of Murder, Media, and Privilege That Scandalized Jazz Age America", is available to purchase in bookstores and online now.

Intriguing!!

This podcast is really intriguing! The book authors have done the research and writing to bring these stories to light while Erik asks compelling questions that we all wish we could ask if we had the opportunity. Everyone's story is important and this podcast makes that a central focus.

The best podcasts I’ve ever listened to

Hands down, this is my favorite podcaster. No talking about dogs, beer or anything frivolous. Just getting down to business with experts and authors who have spent vasts amounts of time researching historic crimes.

The host is quite modest. You can tell that he occasionally has better recall of certain facts than the person he is interviewing, yet he never interrupts or draws attention to his knowledge. Bravo! And no, I’m not his mother!😊

America's Forgotten Crimes

This is an absolutely fabulous example of the genre, particularly for those of us who have heard the same 2 dozen crimes rehashed again and again. Eric never fails to present a crime story that has either been almost totally forgotten or never before looked at from a different angle. Completely binge-worthy.
