Mob Boss Turned Author Anthony Arillotta Joins the “Two Talking Fools” Podcast to Reveal the Untold Story of the Connecticut and Springfield Mafia
Springfield, MA – June 5, 2025 — In a rare and candid appearance, Anthony Arillotta, former Genovese crime family boss for Connecticut and Western Massachusetts, will join the hosts of the Two Talking Fools Podcast to discuss his rise through the Mafia ranks and the untold story behind the Connecticut mob. The interview will be filmed on June 14, and the episode will be available shortly thereafter on all major podcast platforms.
Arillotta—once a feared and respected figure in New England organized crime—recently released his explosive new book, South End Syndicate. The memoir offers a raw, firsthand look into the life of a young Italian-American from Springfield who, captivated by the allure of the wiseguy lifestyle, rose from the city streets to become a Made man and eventually the Mafia boss of Western New England.
How does a kid from the South End of Springfield end up running a piece of one of the most powerful crime families in America? The answers are in the book—and on this podcast.
On the Two Talking Fools Podcast, Arillotta will open up about:
-
His early days in Springfield and the influence of local wiseguys
-
What it meant to become a Made man in the Genovese family
-
The inner workings of the Connecticut Mafia, including its money operations and territory
-
His fall, cooperation with authorities, and life after the Mob
This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from a man who lived the life most only see in movies—and lived to talk about it.
