February 14th, 1929: a routine police raid on a Chicago garage turns out to be anything but, as seven men are machine-gunned to death; an event colloquially known as the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. In this episode of “Al Capone All-American,” love is NOT in the air, as Dan and Alana find that the dead men are but collateral damage to an insidious gang war gripping the streets of Chicago—and all signs point to one Al Capone.SourcesA special debt of gratitude to William J. Helmer & Arthur Bilek, authors of The St. Valentine's Day Massacre: The Untold Story of the Gangland Bloodbath that Brought Down Al Capone--the book which solved the case.

It’s prohibition-era Chicago, and Al Capone and his gang boss, John Torrio, stand to make millions off of bootlegging. As long as crime can be organized along professional boundaries, there should be no need for violence. So why, as Prohibition wore on, did things get bloodier and bloodier?

As a wave of political unrest sweeps 1923 Chicago, along comes the rise of a progressive mayoral candidate who vows to take down the bootleggers, effectively driving Al Capone’s operation to the suburb of Cicero, Illinois. In this week’s installment of “Al Capone All-American,” Dan and Alana find the Outfit’s bloody assault on democracy in Cicero is but a prelude for their return to Chicago—installing a buffoonish new mayor all-too reminiscent of a current-day executive.SourcesHistorian Mario Gomes's excellent website, My Al Capone Museum (https://www.myalcaponemuseum.com/)Capone: The Man and the Era by Laurence BergreenMr. Capone: The Real - and Complete - Story of Al Capone, by Robert J.

Factually! with Adam Conover
What is the appeal of conspiracy theories, and how is it that they entrap our friends, coworkers, or family members? Political polarization and the rise of social media have generated an unprecedented amount of seemingly absurd misinformation, yet many real people fall for it, and a seemingly endless supply of grifters are ready to exploit them. In this episode, Adam speaks with award-winning author Naomi Klein about what led us to this moment and what hope we have of extricating loved ones who've fallen prey to conspiracy.
