If you're a fan of mob movies, you are aware that often there's a scene where the mobsters are hauled before a Congressional hearing. And while those movies usually focus on New York or Las Vegas, Kansas City also was a major part of those hearings.

In this episode, we discuss the famous Kefauver hearings where an infamous Kansas City mobster was scheduled to testify, but he never made it. The Pendergast Machine's effects on the evolved version of the mob is touched on, along with so much more!

Join us as we discuss that murder, the implications of the Kefauver hearings, the Mob's connections between Vegas and KC, the fantastic Mob Museum and so much more!

AND be sure to check out our interview with John Couture about his new venture, Local Liquid.

This episode is dedicated to Alexander F. Greenwood.
