About the Podcast
The inspiration for the Milwaukee Mafia podcast comes from Gavin Schmitt’s book of the same name. Eric knew he had to get Gavin in front of a microphone to share stories he’s researched related to the Milwaukee Mafia and organized crime.
Hear tales of true crime and history from Milwaukee and beyond. As Gavin likes to say, “The crime is the dessert used to hide the history “vegetables”. The history is really interesting, but the element of crime is what leads people to learn the history.”
TARGET AUDIENCE
Any one who is interested and enjoys the True Crime Genre. Gavin research is highly focused on history that occurred in his home state of Wisconsin, making him one of the best and only resources that specifically focuses on Wisconsin True Crime and History
