Mob Talk Radio, is a historical organized crime channel based on the historical, cultural implications, deep dives into the political realm of the streets, and the truth.
In this huge in-depth series we cover the Philadelphia mafia from inception to right after the death of Angelo Bruno. We begin our series in 1888, and carry you through 1980. The names, the faces, the crimes, the beefs, and the politics of it all.
This is the most expansive in-depth look into the Philly mafia that has ever been done by any content creator on YouTube. You will hear stories and information that the public has rarely ever heard before. It’s an inside out look from the street level of organized crime.
This first episode we discuss the early influx of organized crime into Pennsylvania with The Black Hand, and how they would morph into Cosa Nostra within a few decades, becoming recognized fully in the fall of 1931. There a lot of moving part, a lot of players, but one name quickly establishes a firm grip on the streets, and that man was Salvatore Sabella, however he was not actually the first boss of the Philadelphia mafia.
We also analyze the early days of the mob, and how Sicilian values which had been the cornerstone of the mob, was changing under Salvatore “Lucky” Luciano, and how Philadelphia, didn’t have the same trappings as other big crime families, but as well, had the dilemma of not having a crop of Sicilian based lower tier mobsters to join the ranks, and often were supplanted with Calabrase and other Italian ethnicities, which seems to have led Philadelphia into a schism of sorts, with rebellious mobsters, who valued the almighty dollar over loyalty, honor, and keeping it on the down low.
What you will hear is nothing short of astonishing, as you can follow the longline of instability of the mafia in Philadelphia from the early days all the way through the 90’s and now, and it’s a story that seems, to repeat itself more often than not. Every boss in the history of organized crime in Philadelphia has tried to set their own trend, but often fail, for the very reasons their predecessors did. Even small subtle changes, gave root to rebellion and coups, and it doesn’t matter what decade you peer into.
The fact is, there was likely two decades in 100 years, in which the Philadelphia mafia was super successful, but those walls built to support it, the support structures carrying the weight always seem to crumble onto of the unsuspecting boss. It’s a story, it’s history, from the 1900’s, 1920’s, 1930’s, 1940’s, until today, always REPEATS ITSELF, which begs us to ask the question:
Does anyone learn from the past?
