Jay-Z's Team ROC Announces True Crime Podcast Aimed at Investigating Criminal Justice System

Team ROC is expanding.

The social justice division of Roc Nation has announced the launch of its true crime podcast, Corruption Uncovered, which will probe the misconduct and systemic failures in the Kansas City criminal justice system, including allegations of corruption against the city’s police department.

The series will also coincide with the trial of former Kansas City, Kansas police department detective Roger Golubski, who has been hit with federal charges for allegedly abusing his power to extort and rape Black women and teenagers. His trial is connected to a larger investigation into the KCKPD and how its misconduct has affected the community.

“There is a need for powerful and comprehensive storytelling in the criminal justice sector so that the voices of those who have been silenced are heard,” Team ROC Managing Director Dania Diaz said in a statement.

“Our hope is for Corruption Uncovered to not only achieve that purpose but also to serve as an investigative platform that will expose misconduct, demand accountability, and drive change from the people and systems that are duty-bound to protect its citizens and community.”

Journalist Josie Duffy Rice is set to host Corruption Uncovered. The podcast will debut on Dec. 6 on DSPs.
