The announcement:

Podular launches podcast about infamous American gangster Lucky Luciano’s nephew: The Enforcer

Podular have launched, The Enforcer, a podcast which focuses on stories from Anthony Raimondi, the nephew of infamous New York mafia boss Lucky Luciano.

In conjunction with Sydney agency 360 DMG and video production house Carpe VM, based in New York, the producers from Podular have created an immersive 10-part series detailing Raimondi’s rollercoaster life as an enforcer to the Colombo and Bonanano crime families.

Raimondi lifts the lid on his activities as a ‘made man’ of the Italian-American mafia during the 1960s and 1970s.

The podcast touches on many of his experiences, including time spent serving in Vietnam, being involved in one of the biggest American robberies of all-time [Lufthansa Heist] and claims that he helped poison Pope John Paul I .

Commenting on the release of the podcast, Podular’s Head of Digital, Adrian Houghton, says: “It’s so difficult to get your hands on something unique in the true crime category and particularly with the mafia, given their code of silence; omertà. Once we received the brief for Anthony’s story it was
too good an opportunity to refuse.”

Commonly known for their highly successful podcast, Daily Football Show, which was discontinued in November this year, narrative non-fiction content is a new direction for Podular.

“We made our mark in conversational sporting podcasts and now we’re really excited by a new dawn, with The Enforcer being the first of many titles we’re rolling out in this more layered style of audio storytelling.”

Vice President of Business Development in USA for the 360 Degree Marketing Group, Robert Huxley first met Anthony several years ago in New York.

“From the moment I first heard Anthony’s amazing story, I was excited to amplify it not just for our fellow New Yorkers, but the world, and podcasting is great way to do that.”

“I have no doubt that his brutally revealing tales will leave listeners hooked and wanting more.”
