Transcript

This is an episode of Inside the Tent, a podcast going behind the scenes of Campside’s award winning shows.

Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.

Night Shift reinvestigates a 1992 case involving a series of suspicious deaths at a VA hospital that seemed to all have one very disturbing thing in common.

A nurse may have murdered dozens of veterans. But rather than investigate the deaths, the hospital leadership seemed only to care about keeping the case quiet.

Journalists Jake Adelstein (author of Tokyo Vice) and Shoko Plambeck go back to Jake’s hometown of Columbia, Missouri to investigate the crimes, the families and the cover-up. And they talk to the whistleblowers — including Jake’s own father, Eddie Adelstein.

Campside Co-founder Josh Dean and Jake talk about what drew Japan-based Jake back home, why retired FBI employees are willing to speak to reporters… and what really happened on the night shift.
