  • Frank Hayde joins the YJHTL podcast with his latest book, "Mafia Dreams - A True Crime Saga of Young Men at the End of an Era in Kansas City. The ruthless and powerful crime family that reigned in Kansas City appeared to be on its last legs in the 1990's. But the Mafia life still called to a cadre of young men with gangster ambitions, and the FBI was still aggressively pursuing the organization that would stubbornly survive into the next millennium.
  • The Mafia and the Machine is Frank's first book. The story of the American Mafia is not complete without a chapter on Kansas City. The City of Fountains has appeared in The Godfather, Casino, and The Sopranos, but many Midwesterners are not aware that Kansas City has affected the fortunes of the entire underworld.
