In this episode, I meet with Greta Fisher, the author of the book So Much Bad in the Best of Us - The Salacious and Audacious Life of John W. TalbotAll I can say is, John W. Talbot is one of the shadiest individuals that I have ever learned about... and most of his shenanigans went down RIGHT here in South Bend, IN from the late 1800s until the 1930s! Greta Fisher's wonderful true crime book details the wild life of John W. Talbot, a man who would let nothing get in his way of money & power. Every chapter of her book contains one head shaking story after another detailing one illegal activity after another. What is now a parking garage at the corner of Colfax and Main St. in downtown South Bend, was once the center of Talbot's illegal empire. Be sure to purchase, read, and let me know what you think of Greta's book!
