Show Notes
Journalist Jake Adelstein is known for his reporting on Japanese organized crime and the Yakuza, which inspired a recent HBO series "Tokyo Vice." But this Missouri native's new project, as the host and producer of "Night Shift," tells a story close to his hometown of Columbia -- and to a story that Adelstein's father played a key role in. Jake discusses the podcast, his father's involvement, and why this case still sticks with him decades later.
