Introducing: Crook County
Hi, Hit Man listeners! We're excited to share with you a sneak peek at TenderfootTV and iHeartPodcasts' latest release, Crook County. CROOK COUNTY is the shocking true-crime podcast from iHeart and TenderfootTV about my father's alleged rise through the ranks of the legendary organized crime syndicate, the Chicago Outfit. From whorehouse doorman at the age of 17, to ruthless assassin in his 20's, and the many years that followed cleaning up the messes of the mafia and crooked cops alike as a firefighter/paramedic for the Chicago Fire Department. To finally, moving to the suburbs with his new wife and kids and trying desperately to put it all behind him. We explore in great depth and detail my father’s life of crime and its profound and lasting impact on my family to this very day.
