Liverpool Crime Boss on Drugs, Prison & Redemption - Leroy Gilbert Tells His Story
In this powerful and unfiltered episode, we sit down with Leroy Gilbert, once a feared Liverpool crime boss who spent over two decades behind bars. From running the streets and building a reputation in the drug world to facing the harsh realities of prison life, Leroy’s story is as raw as it is gripping.
But this isn’t just a crime story; it’s about consequence, addiction, and ultimately, transformation. After years of living on both sides of the law, Leroy found himself battling a drug addiction of his own, forcing him to confront the very world he once controlled.
Now, he’s turned his past into purpose with the release of his new book, offering a brutally honest account of his life, mistakes, and the lessons learned along the way.
This episode dives deep into:
• The rise and fall of a Liverpool crime figure
• Life inside prison for over 20+ years
• The reality of addiction from both sides
• Redemption, reflection, and rewriting your future
A must listen for anyone interested in true crime, real-life transformation, and stories that don’t hold back.

Whether it's verde, roja, or the orange one, for Jeff, trying any salsa is like playing Russian roulette with a flamethrower.
