    11. Flipping Capo: How the FBI Dismantled the Real Sopranos
    Jun 30 2026
    I sat down with retired FBI Special Agent Seamus McAlerney to tell the inside story behind Flipping Capo: How the FBI Dismantled the Real Sopranos. A former bank auditor who was told he'd never make it into the Bureau, Seamus landed on the legendary C-10 squad as a brand-new agent in 1998 just as a botched World Trade Center robbery cracked open one of the most significant organized crime cases in FBI history. Assigned to arrest violent DeCavalcante soldier Anthony Capo, the rookie agent chose respect over intimidation, played a patient game of mental chess, and did what no one in the family's 100-year history had ever done: he got a made member to flip. Seamus takes us deep into the real-life world that inspired The Sopranos - the panel of bosses, the Queens strip club, the murders, and a consensual recording of mobsters watching the show and naming which characters were them. Along the way he breaks down how cooperation actually works: proffers, "eating the indictment," the Witness Security Program, RICO and its predicate acts, and why numbers beat letters when it comes to a plea. He also shares the human cost — contracts on his witness and on law enforcement, losing his father mid-case, 9/11 grinding everything to a halt, friends lost in the towers, and a White House commendation for dismantling not one but two crime families at once. A masterclass in patience, teamwork, and the principle that carried his whole career: persistence beats resistance, and credit will find you.

    Jun 24 2025
    Brittany was a 911 dispatcher, a young mom, and a survivor of domestic violence. But everything changed the day her infant daughter was rushed to the hospital—barely alive, covered in hidden injuries from abuse no one had seen. In this unforgettable episode, Brittany shares how that moment shattered her world—and how it ultimately led her to become a forensic nurse examiner. From collecting evidence for abuse victims to testifying in court, Brittany now stands between survivors and the system that too often fails them. This is her story: raw, heartbreaking, and full of purpose. #TrueCrimePodcast #SurvivorStory #CriticalIncidentsPodcast #ForensicNurse #RealStories #PodcastEpisode #ListenNow #DomesticViolenceSurvivor #ChildAbuseAwareness #EndDV #AbusiveHeadTrauma #ShakenBabySyndrome #BreakTheSilence #SurvivorsSpeak #ForensicNursing #TraumaInformedCare #VictimAdvocate #NursesOfInstagram #HealthcareHeroes #FirstResponderTraining #JusticeForSurvivors Learn more about your ad choices.
