The Mafia, the Mob, Cosa Nostra (Part 1 of 2)

🕵️‍♂️PINT-SIZED HISTORY TAKES ON THE MAFIA🕵️‍♂️

Today, Joe and Zack dive into The Mob, The Mafia, the Cosa Nostra, or for those who don’t speak Italian, “Our Thing.”

We’re heading deep into the murky underworld of 20th-century organised crime, tracing how Sicilian immigrants in the 19th century built some of the most ruthless criminal syndicates the world has ever seen.

This series zeroes in on the Italian-American Mafia, but we’ll also touch on the Jewish, Irish, and Italian crime families that shaped America’s criminal landscape.

In Part One, we cover:

🔫 The Origins - How and why the Mafia emerged, and what purpose it served.

💼 The Structure - The hierarchy, the rules, and the iron-clad code of silence: Omertà.

🎬 Mob Legends - Stories of real-life bosses and the fictional mobsters who became pop-culture icons.

Grab a pint and join us for a wild rollercoaster ride through the world of American thuggery, power plays, and the shadowy empire of the Mafia.
