About this listen

Please note: contains strong language, depictions of violence and references to suicide. Listener discretion is advised.

Sir Michael Caine knows a thing or two about gangs: whether that’s joining one as a kid, or playing gangsters in movies for over 50 years. Organised crime has captivated pop culture for decades, from the Krays to the Mafia.

Now Caine delves into the real stories behind the gangs we think we know so well, revealing the hidden realities behind the myths. And he throughout the series he asks: can a gang ever truly be ‘successful’?

Having really enjoyed the last Michael Caine Audible podcast (Heists), I was straight onto this as soon as it released, and had finished the series before the day was up. It is well produced and well narrated. If I am being completely honest though, I could probably listen to Michael Caine reading a shopping list and still give it five stars - he is just so cool to listen to. This podcast is very reminiscent of Caine's gangster films, and he also puts a bit of personal story/reflection in each story. Well worth the listen.

Great for all Michael Caine fans!
