Now you listen to me, you coarse talking son of a b****. Let me lay it on the line for you and your boss, whoever he is: Carlos Rafael will never get that quota. I don't care how many scallop lobster clam bacalhau cod come out of that boat hull!   Join us as we discuss Carlos Rafael, the Codfather of New Bedford, Massachusetts, his illegal fishing empire, and his downfall at the hands of the FBI.   All music by Interesting Times Gang: https://itgang.bandcamp.com/

Remember, just because it's recent doesn't mean it isn't history!   All music by Interesting Times Gang: https://itgang.bandcamp.com/

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to handle volatile radioactive elements with your bare hands? Us too. So, we decided to kick off the show by looking into one of the most fun byproducts of the Manhattan Project: the Demon Core (also known as Rufus the Ticklish Dragon). Sometimes you just don't have the patience to wait for World War III, so you have to start throwing bricks.   All music by Interesting Times Gang: https://itgang.bandcamp.com/
