From bootlegging king to Public Enemy No. 1, Al Capone ruled Chicago’s underworld with an iron fist — and a Tommy gun.

In this episode of Macabre: A Dark History Podcast, we explore the violent rise of Capone’s empire, his cunning business moves, and the bloody massacres that solidified his legacy in American crime history.

But the higher you climb, the harder you fall. Discover how tax evasion, betrayal, and paranoia led to the downfall of the man who defined organized crime in the Roaring Twenties.

Was Capone a ruthless monster, a folk anti-hero, or something in between?

Join us as we unravel the myth and the man behind the fedora.
