Stories from the memories and kitchens of Japanese Americans uprooted from the west coast and relocated inland after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. In camps like Manzanar, Topaz, Tule Lake over 120,000 internees were incarcerated for the four years of WWII in remote and desolate locations -- their traditional food replaced by US government commodities and war surplus -- hotdogs, ketchup, spam, potatoes -- erasing the traditional Japanese diet and family table.
There's way too much audio in the world to catch everything that comes out of your clock radio. Public Radio Redux shines a spotlight on stories that makes you turn and look at your speakers. It's a curated list, a place to make comments, and a blog about making radio. Consider it the espresso in your daily public radio fix.
Public Radio Redux was started by two friends who bonded over the joys and pain of making radio. Jen Nathan and Erin Mishkin met at the Salt Institute of Documentary Studies and quickly bonded over a shared love of podcasts and bloody marys. Rather than boring their friends with another unrehearsed live re-enactment of their favorite radio shows, they started this blog.
