“Riveting and heartbreaking. I’m already a fan of Jake Adelstein because of the book Tokyo Vice. I was curious about this podcast and gave it a go. I was hooked within the first couple of minutes. It’s exceptional. Superb writing and all around fantastic.
Shoko is a great companion to Jake. The stories do bring tears to your eyes, i.e. the older woman, a wife who basically a slave in her own home for 35 years destroyed me, but she won in the end. The stories of the North Korean abductions of Japanese citizens.. beyond the imagination. These are deep, deep stories that need to be told. This needs to seriously be considered for a tv series. Jake, Shoko, you have to do many, many more episodes of this. 9 episodes is simply like edamame.”
