Geeks and Gaijins

The Great Candy Heist 1984 - This Week In Japan


Listen Later

The Geeks & Gaijins Season Finale! It's our final episode on-location in Japan! The sun is shining (too much), the Olympics are in full swing (unfortunately), and there are no fun crimes stories this week (predictably). So join us on a trip back in time to 1984, as Jon regales us with the story of the Glico-Morinaga Extortion Case. 

Also in this episode: Ghibli Museum fundraising, delicious non-radioactive peaches, and yet another typhoon.

Thanks to everyone who's listened in to us over the last two years. This podcast has been very important to the both of us during this time, and we're grateful to every open ear who shared in our joy, anger, and general nonsense throughout. 

We'll be back in two weeks with a slightly revamped format, but the same lunacy as ever. Same Geek-Time, same Gaijin-Channel. 

Until then, Sayonara Japan!
