Fireside with the Underboss - How the Mob Rigged a Presidential Election

Step inside a world most only know from movies and headlines, but through the one voice that can separate Hollywood myth from street-level reality. In Our Thing with Sammy The Bull, Salvatore "Sammy the Bull" Gravano doesn't just recount history-he dissects it from the inside. As the former underboss of the Gambino crime family, his firsthand accounts go beyond the simple facts of organized crime to explore the complex codes, unexpected loyalties, and daily pressures that defined a hidden American subculture. This isn't a glorified recap; it's a raw examination of choices and consequences, directed by James Carroll. Each episode feels like a direct conversation, where Gravano unpacks the intricate mechanics of power, the weight of his decisions, and the cultural echoes of that life that still resonate today. For anyone fascinated by the nuanced intersections of history, society, and true crime, this podcast offers an unfiltered perspective you simply can't find anywhere else. The stories are personal, the details are specific, and the narrative pulls back the curtain on "our thing" with an authority that only he possesses.
