Jeff Nadu, or any other podcast not done by a rat. I don't include Merlino, but if you want to say it's him that is fine.

I think Nadu is the best of a bad bunch, although he is inconsistent, and can be awful at times. The bald gay guy from England who does OC Shorts is awful. He finds old documents, and gives his opinions, but seems more out to twist things his way to make a point . James Proctor seems like a nice guy, but went from average to awful quickly.
R.J., who assists Michael DeLeonardo is good, I don't know how to catagorize his podcast since it is done with a snitch but he is not one himself., He is the most consistent of all, and seems the most honest.

I forgot Scott Burnstien. He's either liked or hated by many. OC Shorts to is is the worst for being able to take criticism, followed by Nadu. They shadowbox anyone who gives a negative comment.

Nadu had sbanned so many people, on his live podcast last month he was not getting feedback, so he announced that he was unbanning everyone he had banned so they could comment.

I like what OC Shortz did with Sammy Gravano : asking him about lesser known guys in the Mob. I also find it interesting when he talks about which soldiers were in what crews.

Michael Franzese is the absolute worse, a total slimball..

Thnaks DiNero, I did not include him, I just was looking for opinions on the non-rats. I think Franzese is just a con man.

He is good at times, but is very thin skinned, and also tries to sort of click bait people with misleading or inflammatory headlines, He had one recently called "Who F%cked over the Mafia?" It was just about Lansky's life, and the guy he interviewed never said that Lansky did nay such thing, in fact it was all about Myer Lansky.

Not sticking up for Oc Shortz just cause he is a fellow Brit, but I do find some of his pod episodes interesting.

Nadu is also thin skinned and does not seem to take things well if questioned!

OC Shortz is by far the most respectable one...

I guess struggling bloggers don't wanna weigh in !!

My name on this board is Ciment and not NY Mafia. If you have a beef against NY Mafia bring it up with him and leave me out of this.

Regarding the rats and their podcasts and YouTube channels, I think it's actually embarrassing to be bragging about how you used to be a somebody and are now a nobody. It's more embarrassing to have used to been a somebody than to have never been anybody. Top that with how you turned rat because you couldn't face the music. And with the Mafia in the current state it's in, I don't see current or future rats having the marketability as a Sammy the Bull or Gaspipe for example. Those guys had stories to tell, and were in the mob when it's structure was still intact.

Liggio. I have to completely agree with you too. Because I think you hit the nail straight on the head...in regard to several different points you made, right across the board.

Its become a joke! A bad joke and a fucking three-ring circus out there today, both on the streets, and with all these rats who have become the "media darlings" among so many assholes of the general public.
