1990. Boston. It's the largest art theft in American history, and the culprits behind the heist have never been caught.

In this episode we are going to dive deep into the mystery of the Isabella Gardner Museum Theft - how the thieves pulled it off, where the twists and turns of the investigation led, and finally who might have been the true mastermind behind this now iconic American crime.

In this last episode of our Big Fix series we are going to travel into the hurricane, following the breaking of the public scandal and the multiple trials that followed. We will look at how the commissioner of baseball came to the decision to punish the players in the harshest way possible, and where it left these eight men after the dust settled.   

For the eight members of the Chicago Black Sox, the revelation of the truth would lead them into a lifelong fight not to save their careers or salaries, but instead simply to try and salvage their legacies. And no player would struggle more to try and redeem his name on the pages of history than Shoeless Joe Jackson.

In this second episode of our Big Fix series we are going to pick up where we left off which is right at the beginning of game one, and cover the rest of the events of the 1919 World Series. We’ll follow the specific way the tainted games played out and how some of the players involved developed second thoughts about the whole fix just a little too late.

This group of White Sox players who are still known by history for their corruption actually tried and failed to uncross their personal Rubicon, attempting in vain to turn things around and win for nothing more than their own pride and reputation.

In this Series, we are going to dive deep in the scandal that led to what could have been an all time great team to national infamy as they would forever be known as the Chicago Black Sox.

We’re also going to look at the attempt to cover up the scandal by baseball’s highest official and the amazing story of what it took to expose the crimes. 

In this first episode, we’re going to examine how the conspiracy among a group of bitter and underpaid White Sox players to throw the World Series came together and set the stage for maybe the most controversial set of 8 games in the history of the sport.

And of course we will touch on Shoeless Joe Jackson and the role he did or did not play in the conspiracy.

Originally we had planned to release this much closer to actual Valentine's Day, but in this episode we are going to focus on how Al Capone rose to power during a period of intense gang violence in the 1920’s known as the Chicago Beer Wars.

Capone displayed some of his most ruthless tendencies during this time in order to win the war, and it all culminated in the infamous valentine's day massacre. Through this story we’ll try to understand a bit about the contradictions inside Capone’s life and how one many could be capable of such radical acts of both murder and mercy.

In the final episode of our Riches and Ruin series we are going to tackle the last months of Bonnie and Clyde’s life on the run, along with the manhunt by the legendary Texas Ranger that eventually brought the couple down.

We also spend some time thinking about myth making, and give a few thoughts on why the story of two mediocre thieves and murderers still resonates almost 100 years later.

This week we are going to take a short break in our series on the Barrow Gang and the hunt for Bonnie and Clyde in order to tell a quick story inspired by recent headlines.

This month, Chinese Spy Balloons were spotted flying over the mainland United States when word came out that the North American Aerospace Defense Command or NORAD was tracking a strange object traveling over the continental United States.

The object seemed to be some sort of balloon, and its flight had been tracked all the way from mainland China. A few days later, a 2nd Balloon was spotted over US territory, this time on the East coast.

The balloons were shot down over the Atlantic Ocean by US Fighter Jets.

It caused us to think about another one of my favorite historical stories, the other time when the US came under attack from enemy balloons.
