Introducing: Crooked City: Youngstown, OH - a podcast by We Saw the Devil

From Marc Smerling, the creator of Crimetown and The Jinx, welcome to CROOKED CITY. The Saturday Evening Post dubbed Youngstown, Ohio “Crimetown U.S.A.”

It was a mob town. Illegal gambling was so lucrative that a mob war raged for decades, and bodies piled up. Then, Jim Traficant ran for sheriff, riding into office as the city’s steel industry fell on hard times.

Traficant battles the local newspaper, then the FBI, the IRS and finally his own demons as
an eight-term, twice-indicted congressman.
