Hello all, Eric Rivenis with the Most Notorious podcast here. Each week I interview an author or historian about a historical true crime, tragedy, or disaster.

Subject matter ranges from gunslingers to Gilded Age murder, to gangsters, to fires, to pirates, to wild prison breaks.

directly to you. Please subscribe to Most Notorious on your favorite podcast app. Cheers and have a safe

Our team of scientists digs into the
