The Prison Break, the Manhunt, the Inside Story In June 2015, two vicious convicted murderers broke out of the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, in New York’s North Country, launching the most extensive manhunt in state history. Aided by prison employee Joyce Mitchell, double murderer Richard Matt and cop-killer David Sweat slipped out of their cells, followed a network of tunnels and pipes under the thirty-foot prison wall, and climbed out of a manhole to freedom. For three weeks, the residents of local communities were virtual prisoners in their own homes as law enforcement from across the nation swept the rural wilderness near the Canadian border. The manhunt made front-page headlines—as did the prison sex scandal involving both inmates and Joyce Mitchell—and culminated in a dramatic and bloody standoff. Now Charles A. Gardner—a lifelong resident of the community and a former correction officer who began his training at Clinton and ultimately oversaw the training of staff in twelve prisons, including Clinton—tells the whole story from an insider's point of view. From the lax ethics and sexual hunger that drove Joyce Mitchell to fraternize with Matt and Sweat, smuggle them tools, and offer to be their getaway driver, to the state budget cuts that paved the way for prison corruption, to the brave and tireless efforts to bring the escaped killers to justice, Dannemora is a gripping account of the circumstances that led to the bold breakout and the twenty-three-day search that culminated in one man dead, and one man back in custody—and lingering questions about those who set the deadly drama in motion.https://amzn.to/41KqkUbBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

The Playboy Mansion in the 1980s was in its absolute heyday. The sexual revolution had come full flower, drugs were largely regarded as harmless fun and every night offered a new adventure to a young man who'd never experienced anything like it.  The Playboy Mansion of the 1980s belonged to a different world.The rules were different.The expectations were different.What people considered daring, outrageous, or perfectly normal would raise eyebrows today.That’s part of what makes it worth revisiting.Recently, the Mansion and Hugh Hefner have been the subject of criticism and controversy.I don’t dismiss anyone who had a negative experience there.But what I saw during my five years inside those gates was something more complicated — and far more interesting.Most of the people I knew from that time remember it with a certain affection.This book shows you why.INSIDE THE BOOK• What did the Playboy Mansion feel like after the parties ended and the house finally went quiet?• What were the Playmates really like when the cameras were gone?• What was the strangest request I ever received during a 3 AM shift?• Which famous star asked me to steal a bottle of top-shelf liquor… and then took me on a wild midnight ride through the streets of Los Angeles?• Which movie star’s wife begged me to keep her company in the Grotto?• What really happened after 2 A.M.• The night the Playmates cried.• And the night that changed my life forever.I’ll be interviewing guests and Playmates who were there at the time, and I’ll illustrate my memories with exclusive photos, memos and personal notes that have never been published anywhere.It’s 3:00 in the morning at the Playboy Mansion.The party is over.The celebrities have disappeared into guest rooms.A few Playmates wander into the butler’s pantry, looking for company.And the strangest part of the night is just beginning.I spent five years working the night shift inside the most famous house in America.My job was to provide Hefner and his guests whatever they asked for.And as the hour grew later… the requests grew stranger.I’m turning those nights into a book right now.And this campaign is what determines whether it gets made the way it deserves to be.KickstarterInstagramRedditBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Hollywood Godfather is Gianni Russo's over-the-top memoir of a real-life mobster-turned-actor who helped make The Godfather a reality, and his story of life on the edge between danger and glamour. Gianni Russo was a handsome 25-year-old mobster with no acting experience when he walked onto the set of The Godfather and entered Hollywood history. He played Carlo Rizzi, the husband of Connie Corleone, who set her brother Sonny―played by James Caan―up for a hit. Russo didn't have to act―he knew the mob inside and out: from his childhood in Little Italy, where Mafia legend Frank Costello took him under his wing, to acting as a messenger for New Orleans mob boss Carlos Marcello during the Kennedy assassination, to having to go on the lam after shooting and killing a member of the Colombian drug cartel in his Vegas club. Along the way, Russo befriended Frank Sinatra, who became his son's godfather, and Marlon Brando, who mentored his career as an actor after trying to get Francis Ford Coppola to fire him from The Godfather. Russo had passionate affairs with Marilyn Monroe, Liza Minelli, and scores of other celebrities. He went on to become a producer and starred in The Godfather: Parts I and II, Seabiscuit, Any Given Sunday and Rush Hour 2, among many other films.Hollywood Godfather is a no-holds-barred account of a life filled with violence, glamour, sex―and fun.https://amzn.to/4tRynurBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Karen Silkwood, an employee of the Kerr-McGee plutonium processing plant, was killed in a car crash on her way to deliver important documents to a newspaper reporter in 1974. Silkwood was a union activist concerned about health and safety issues at the plant, and her death at age twenty-eight was considered by many to be highly suspicious. Was it Kerr-McGee's revenge on a troublesome whistle-blower? Or was it part of a much larger conspiracy reaching from the Atomic Energy Commission to the FBI and the CIA?Richard Rashke leads us through the myriad of charges and countercharges, theories and facts, and reaches conclusions based solely on the evidence in hand. Originally published in 1981, his book offers a vivid, edgy picture of the tensions that racked this country in the 1970s. However, the volume is not only an important historical document. Complex, fascinating characters populate this compelling insider's view of the nuclear industry. The issues it explores―whistle-blowers, worker safety, the environment, and nuclear vulnerability―have not lost relevance today, twenty-six years after Silkwood's white Honda Civic was found trapped in a concrete culvert near Oklahoma City.For this second edition, Rashke has added a Preface and three short chapters that explore what has been learned about Silkwood since the book's original publication, explain what happened to the various actors in the drama, and discuss the long-term effects of the events around Silkwood's death.https://amzn.to/48SIkj0Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
