In this episode we discuss JFK and the Mafia (or the mob). We review the history of the Italian-American Mafia, and how it emerged as an offshoot of the Sicilian Mafia. We review how prohibition allowed Mafia families to make fortunes. We describe how the Mafia is organized, and some of their practices and traditions. We discuss what the Mafia was up to in the 50s and 60s and how they felt about JFK's politics.
Intro Music: 'Destructoid' by MK2. Outro Music: 'Strut Funk' by Dougie Wood.
