Next Episode: Bonus Episode 70 - The Harrelson Mysteries pt. 2: the Investigation, Politically Protected Drug Trafficking, the Dixie Mafia, and the Harrelson Retrial, feat. Douglas Valentine

Today I'm rejoined by the journalist and author Douglas Valentine (@DouglasValentine77) to discuss his work for Woody Harrelson investigating his father, Charles Harrelson. This episode lays the groundwork for understanding Valentine's relationship to Daniel Sheehan and how this working relationship began.

Along the way, Valentine discusses the Karen Silkwood case, his previous work, the Christic Institute and Daniel Sheehan, and the very complicated and messy nature of his work charting out espionage and drug networks.
