Welcome to part two of the epic tale of Danny Greene, Cleveland's infamous Irish gangster. This episode covers the latter half of Danny's life and the warring crime families of Cleveland at that time.

The Irishman: Danny Greene Part 1

Welcome back listeners! The Librarians figured out their St. Paddy's shenanigan schedule and got to together to tell you all about the epic tale of Danny Greene, Cleveland infamous Irish gangster. Learn about Danny's early days, interior design choices, and what exactly racketeering means. Plus hear entirely too much about a tv series that ended almost twenty years ago, why you should only trust professionals to set your car explosives, and the secret to why Millennials ACTUALLY love "Avocado Toast" 

Leprechaun

This week the Librarians prep your Irish celebrations with a look at the Leprechaun film franchise, starring Warwick Davis, and subsequent reboot. Learn about the making of the cult film and just how weird its sequels got (they made it to space before Jason did) as well as the return from comedy horror to its original slasher roots with Leprechaun: Origins and Leprechaun Returns. 

Project Blue Book

The Librarians take the deepest of dives into the government investigation of unidentified spacecraft, aliens, TLDR letters, and everything involved with Project Blue Book and its humble start at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.  So grab your mountain of mashed potatoes, your Reeses Pieces, make sure to phone home, and remember: The Truth Is Out There....and we all totally missed it while living through our 8th, 9th, and 10th unprecedented world events last year. 

Wright-Patterson Air Force Base

Get out your black suits, dust off your X-Files, and make room for space pancakes because this week's episode is chock full of aliens, ghosts, haunted planes, conspiracy theories, military and aviation history, and more! The Librarians are here to tell you all about Ohio's Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, the home of Project Blue Book and the infamous (and most likely not real) Hangar 18 that's full of UFO wreckage and E.B.Es from the Roswell crash and one really angry guy that just wishes people would stop asking about aliens.

Dr. Sam Sheppard: Murder or Misfortune Part Two

Dr. Samuel Sheppard had it all: Good looks, youth, a promising medical career, a beautiful wife and son, and a home in idyllic Bay Village, Ohio. On July 4th, 1954 all that changed. 
 
By God! It's Sam's theme music! It's Sam with the Mandible Claw!
The Librarians pick up where they left off with the SECOND trial of Sam Sheppard. They tag team Sam's short lived but impactful wrestling career (no crotch socks were harmed in the making of this episode) and present another possible theory into who really killed Marilyn Sheppard.
