Shreveport legend Sebastian "Bamm Bamm" ...

Jon Bernthal
About this episode

Bamm is one of the most beloved, feared, and respected people in the history of Shreveport, Louisiana. He grew up in The Bottoms, a once legendary and vibrant neighborhood known for music, wild celebration, and tragic violence. The Bottoms was ultimately wiped off the face of the earth by the federal government. Bamm and the rest of the notorious Bottoms Boyz gang were sent to decades in prison.  Bamm was recently released from the Super Max in Florence, Colorado where he spent over 30 years with prison mates such as El Chapo and Larry Hoover.

Sean Allen is an entrepreneur and in 2022 he partnered with Bamm Bamm to create a community organization entitled BXBZ to provide programs to promote change amongst the youth.
