Fosco's new podcast was a complete joke. He claims magnafichi was gonna whack him at his house with the video crew there to do a podcast. Who in the hell does a hit with a production team present. And his comment about the video crew leaving after the show, then getting whacked was ridiculous. After watching, its obvious what happened. Mags got suspended for being accused for stealing money out of a wallet. The money probaly got stolen by the drug users or the stripper broads that were there the same time fosco was there when they were all at the millionaire portillos mansion. Mags got pissed for getting blamed for something he didn't do. Got suspended. Now fosco makes up a BS story to make his website intriguing. This whole ANP thing is a joke. The 3 of them looked like horrible actors throughout the whole podcast.

Who says he has a "video crew?" Looks to me like he uses an iphone. You can barely hear anything with the wind coming through. If he has a video crew, they must be under the age of 10.
And while I know we all rag on this guy, I got money on the fact that for every new podcast he does, you still watch it and read the comment threads. Just admit it. It's entertaining as hell. I am guessing you are right about the iPhone, and his "crew" is just his buddy Alex. He also refers to his blog as an "online magazine" or "internet newspaper." Fosco refers to his blog entries as "articles," and for a while didn't know how to get them posted, so he would email them to Alex (American News Post's one man "Tech Department") who logged in and posts them. I think Joe is an entertaining guy and not really all that bad of a guy. Some of his claims are credible, while others obviously are not. Overall, American News Post is entertaining and often funny. Fosco has this goofy fake lawyer quality to him that comes across both on the blog and on camera that really makes me laugh. Seeing him on camera acting like a talk show host, with his superficial grin and his hands strategically positioned in front of him with the fingertips just barely touching is too much. Joe is a lot of things, but he is not a good person to be enemies with. (Try not to laugh at his grin at 00:29 in his latest video.)

Who said They "don't follow it much anymore"? We all follow it, including you lol. You read the articles & comments as they appear, no need to lie about it LOL. Anyways, he had to do something to liven up the site, and it worked. I actually don't. I'll glance over an article and read some of the comments once in a while, but very casually, and I have never listened to a podcast. The Magnifichi stuff pretty seemed unbelievable at first but from what people are posting here it seems to have descended into absurdity/buffoonery. Glad you're a fan, though. Good for you. Mabye you can buy him a burger at the Burger Baron.

So who is Ashleigh D'Andrea? I imagine she is related to some of the other D'Andrea folks who were Outfit members.
Other than having an attractive young lady on the program, what's the story? Ashleigh D'Andrea is the great-niece of Nick D'Andrea of Chicago Heights whose murder was cleared in the Family Secrets trial. Nick Calabrese, Jimmy Marcello, Hatch, and Black Sam were involved...and one of the Guzzinos. As far as the intended story, Fosco was supposed to address some readers' questions about Magnafichi and the Tommys of the Grand Avenue crew who were friends with both Mags and Albie. Instead, he ended up spending 99% of the time talking about Magnafichi and acting like a cross between Peter Jennings and Liberace. That funny fake smile and head-turn in the video makes me laugh every time I watch it. I will watch the next video to see if he really goes into detail about Vena.

Then again, he's merely the bastard son of Armond Fosco & as sad as that sounds, it's the best thing he has going for him! Fosco hides behind a once respectable name. Word on the street is that his brothers have disowned him, warning of his con-artistry & sociopathic alcoholism LOL. All well.
