In 1978, Pope John Paul I was found dead in his bed just 33 days after he was elected. The official story is that he suffered a fatal heart attack. But in the years since his death, some have claimed he was murdered to cover up crimes in the Vatican. The question of the Pope’s death has never been definitively answered, but there is one man who claims to know the truth. A man from one of New York City’s crime families who has deep ties to the Italian mafia. He was there the day of the Pope’s death and witnessed his murder firsthand. Or, at least, that’s what he says. His name is Anthony Raimondi, and these are his confessions. From USG Audio and Truth Media in association with Clockwork Films.

Insightful, compelling, and informative. A side of the art world you don’t often hear about. So happy I chanced about this brilliantly well done podcast. Now, I want a place to discuss all these thought provoking topics and try to find commonalities and differences.
Interesting Topic, nice pacing

Love this podcast! If you are looking for an investigative, true crime but not gruesome, well produced, documentary style podcast to listen to while doing the dishes, this is a good one.
Love it

This podcast is up there with everything else Lewis has written and produced. Impeccably researched and constructed episodes. This is accessible to anyone outside the art world but incredibly knowledgeable and insightful about it as well. I was amazed but not surprised that he got these insiders to go on record, but he does it every time. It’s got suspense and a keen sense of humor. I’m hooked on this.
