Down to the Wire (Gray Alliance 2 - AE191)

About this episode

Aaron Good and Max Arvo continue to explore the evolution of American organized crime. In particular, we discuss the key importance of the racing wire service and the obscured nature of mid-20th century American organized crime: Did mafia or La Cosa Nostra models really apply? Or alternatively, were the ethnic Italian elements, which seem to confirm those theories, merely the lower and thus more visible levels of a larger and more nefarious entity—the Lansky Syndicate?

Special thanks Dana Chavarria for the sound engineering and to Casey Moore for the episode art!

Music: "Silent Motion" by Mock Orange
