About the host
Hello, I'm Jake.
“As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster” was the famous line in Goodfellas. In actuality, that’s not me in any way, shape, or form. I’m just an “average nobody” who grew up in the Midwest.
In reality, as far back as I can remember, I have been interested in history. And once I watched The Godfather for the first time as a teenager, I found a new interest – the mob. This is where my passion for history intersected with the Mafia true crime genre. I’ve been studying the American Cosa Nostra and watching every mob movie I can get my hands on ever since.
I work as a professional in the marketing industry, and this has left me with an ongoing creative desire to build things and create content. Podcasting (and now YouTubing) has been a new labor of love for several years and allows me an outlet for my creativity.
At the intersection of all of these things is The Gangland History Podcast! My hope is that you enjoy my deeply-researched content and much as I enjoy making it.
Grazie in anticipo. 👌
