WELCOME TO YOUNGSTOWN MOB TALK

James Naples III & Johnny Chechitelli explore the true organized crime history of Youngstown, Ohio... aka "Crimetown USA." From car bombs ("Youngstown Tune-Ups") to rub-outs of every other type, this small steel city and its surrounding Mahoning Valley endured several violent, mafia turf wars throughout the 20th century. James & Johnny investigate unsolved cases and interview subjects connected to Youngstown's organized crime history as well as authors of books on the subject.
