Podcast 9

One of my favorite podcasts. The Dillinger gang regularly hit the highway, driving from Chicago to Saint Paul, in one night. I wondered. Is that true? Could it be done?

Come with me as I travel the rural routes of Wisconsin, just like the desperadoes of old, in the middle of the night, from Saint Paul to Chicago.
