About this listen

A podcast that dives deep into uncomfortable history; the kinds of stories we need to learn so they’re never repeated.


Each season we'll dig into a history that we've misremembered, tried not to think hard about, or even tried to erase. Through interviews with historians, scholars, artists, and people who lived the history firsthand, we'll learn with the depth each topic deserves.


Season 1: “American Concentration Camps: The Story of WWII Japanese Incarceration”, launches February 19th.


Sponsored by the JACL Mt Olympus Chapter, the Takahashi Family Foundation, and the JA Community Foundation.
