Summary
Dan Bashford from Southwest Australia and I talk organized crime in both Kansas City and Australia. Dan is a long time podcast supporter and an ardent fan of all things organized crime. I got up early and did a special Zoom call with him to answer questions about the mob and my career and in the process, I asked him questions about Australian organized crime activities.
