    Sammy Gravano: The Rat King

    After ratting out the Gambino Family and skating away on 19 murders, Sammy “The Bull” Gravano takes a cushy deal and settles down with his family in Arizona. But as Dan and Alana learn in this episode, for a mob snitch on the run, a new lease on life is its own purgatory—and the desert rave scene, an unlikely new kingdom.

    Willie Bioff: Labor Racketeering in Hollywood's Golden Age

    This week on the Outfit, we head to La La Land, hot on the trail of a Chicago Outfit thug with stars in his eyes. Amidst the palm trees and swimming pools, Dan and Alana journey to the dark side of 1940s Hollywood, rife with tyrannical studio heads, corrupted unions, and the stark threat of mob violence. Plus, what happens when Mickey Mouse goes union busting. Sources The Disney Revolt: The Great Labor War of Animation's Golden Age by Jake S.

    William Handhardt: The Celebrity Cop

    This week, Dan and Alana discuss William Hanhardt, who rose to become chief of Detectives in the Chicago Police Department. Subject of the hit television series, "Crime Story" and technical advisor on Michael Mann's "Thief," Handhardt was a cop's cop gone Hollywood: a no-nonsense tough guy whose squad inspired the cops in crime classic, "Heat." But behind the badge was a far more sobering reality, uncomfortably intertwined with the Outfit.

    World Trade Center: The Towers the Mob Built

    On the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, Dan and Alana dig into a shockingly under-examined story: how the mafia profited from the World Trade Center. From its inception to collapse in Lower Manhattan, the center’s construction was fraught with incompetence and political corruption.
