The mob bombings in Cleveland are the subject of the new podcast series “Dark Side.”

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – Danny Greene wasn’t just any gangster.

The Cleveland union president-turned-gangster was a force of nature; a wild card in the organized crime deck, blurring the lines between hero and villain, with a reputation that grew as quickly as the explosions he left in his wake.

Although Green survived several assassination attempts, he was ultimately killed in a car bombing in 1977, when Cleveland was still known as “Bomb City, USA.”

In the latest episode of 19 Investigates’ true crime podcast “Dark Side of the Land,” investigator Kelly Kennedy opens our mob series with the thrilling story of the notorious Irishman who defeated the Italian Mafia in ways he never could had intended.

Kelly sifted through mountains of evidence and sat down with Greene’s eldest son, who had previously shied away from talking about his father.

“A lot of people said if that was my father, I would have taken revenge or something. Well, you know what? Everyone is dead or in prison. I have no problem looking in the mirror,” said Danny Kelly.

She also interviewed some of Greene’s closest associates for this series, as well as FBI agents and bomb squad members who were involved in Greene’s murder case.

Part one of Killing Danny Greene is available on all major podcast platforms including SoundCloud, Spotify, Apple or wherever you listen to podcasts.
