The final episode of the Italy quartet, and the one that's been a long time coming - we look at the dark tale of Roberto Calvi, the Bank of God, corruption in high finance, and a neofascist Masonic lodge. It's a story that will blast your third eye clean, and seriously shit you up.
(apologies for the weird gaps in the opening 10, my cat was looming)

Here it is, the Second Mafia War. In this monster-length outing, we talk mafia politics, heroin trafficking, the real Corleone family, the CIA, Luciano, Lansky, terrorist bombings, massacres, murders, and more. It’s a blood soaked journey through one of the darkest periods of Italy's recent past, and a sorely overlooked part of modern European history to boot.

We are back with the first of a new quartet of episodes! This time we're looking at the Years of Lead, and the story of Aldo Moro's kidnapping by the Red Brigades. Political idealism, deep intrigue and staggering violence collide in an event that still casts a long shadow today. We cap off with a brief book recommendation too! Apologies for the layoff; hopefully you remain un-captured.
