While there were a few journalists who were able to speak with Bernie Madoff while the financial shyster was in prison, one man - radio host Jim Campbell - was privy to more personal information including the convicted financial felon's private journals while going in-depth with Madoff during several phone conversations. Jim Campbell - who wrote a book about Madoff, his personal writings and their telephone discussions -- joins Chris Cordani in The Outhouse Lounge.

Jim, whose book was turned into a Netfilx series, talks with Chris about:
How Madoff was able to get his victims to entrust him - even with results which were too good to be true
How Madoff evaded the SEC several times
Madoff's transition from the man who built NASDAQ into a powerhouse to a legit financial guru to a Ponzi scheme engineer.
Highlights from Madoff's personal journals
What ever Mets fan figured about how damaging the Wilpons' Madoff-made loss really was to the team and its payroll
