Allison and Beverly are BACK to tie up some loose ends from the original Amway episode with this first Ding Dong Ditch episode that has a guest!

Finally, we hope to clarify the discussion of politics in general as it relates to this show, but in particular topics such as these.

Magic: The Gathering cards...

yeah...

Anyway, you've probably heard of the Pinkertons before. They have a history so rife with blood they should probably be called the Reddingtons. From protecting trains and stage coaches to spying on the Confederacy during the Civil War, and throwing bricks and sticks of dynamite at striking workers, hundreds have died at the hands of this organization that predated modern law enforcement.

Let's dive in, shall we?

Show notes

It was a billed as the biggest sensation of its time in 1986 when famed TV journalist Geraldo Rivera brought us a 2 hour live special all about the infamous Chicago gangster Al Capone and the secret tunnels and vaults discovered beneath one of his old hotels. The idea was Capone had stashed away some of his ill-gotten gains down there, and the world was going to all to witness together a time capsule from a bloody era of American history being opened with the help of a team of excavators and dynamite.
And well... you can learn all about what happened in this episode Allison joined on the totally tubular 80s High podcast hosted by Ben and occasional Ding Dong Darkness Time Co-host Chris (aka King Ding Dong). Once you've enjoyed this one, stick around and listen to everything else they have to offer!
