145: The Loose Buckle in the Bible Belt. Hot Springs National Park.

<div>Hot Springs National Park was nicknamed the loose buckle in the Bible Belt for its long history of criminal operations, speakeasies, and mob lore. This episode we conduct a historic tour of the park, visiting the favorite spots of infamous gangsters like Al Capone and Lucky Luciano.<br> <br> We love our National Parks and we know you do too but when you're out there, remember to enjoy the view but watch your back.
