Welcome to Boston Confidential, Bean Towns, True Crime Podcast.

Boston is a great city, but there's more to it than the Freedom Trail in Fenway Park.

There's a start on your underbelly to the city, and Boston Confidential will take you on a guided tour of the dark side of the Athens of America, Boston, Massachusetts.

Hey everybody, welcome back to Boston Confidential. My name's Barry McGuire, and I'm your host. I'm a 20-year private investigator on the streets of Boston, and I help run a company called Impact Due Diligence Investigations.

If you need anything in terms of investigative services, feel free to contact me at Impact.
