Brother-sister duo Noah and Hana Maruyama weave together the voices of survivors to spin narratives out of the seemingly mundane things that gave shape to the incarceration experience: rocks, fences, food, paper. Follow along as they move far beyond the standard Japanese American inca... more

  • Japanese internment camps are a topic that seem to be getting some much deserved traction in recent years. George Takei’s musical “Allegiance” was the first thing that caught my attention, followed by Kishi Bashi’s concept album (and yet-to-be-released companion documentary) “Omiyari.” Then this year’s ‘The Best God Damn Band in Wyoming’ off of No-No-Boy’s album “1975” and now Campu enter the fray. The show is a great lens through which to view a largely unexplored history - or at least somethin... more

  • Great

    Love this podcast! Although, especially the episode of “Fence”, one guy was speaking in Japanese and the translation was completely different 😂 this guy was taking about how many people had to fit in a camp and there was a guy from Utah, and then end up talking about Landry 🤣 Anyway I love this show!!! Thank you so so much for all your effort to brig all these together. Can’t imagine how much work was done to create this!

  • Heartbreakingly Beautiful

    If I had to sum everything up in one word it would be: Wow.

    This podcast is so well done! One of the best I’ve ever listened to. It’s well researched, well mixed, informative yet not boring. As the granddaughter of incarcerated Japanese Americans (Tule Lake) and an internment camp scholar, I appreciate all the hard work and effort that Hana, Noah, Densho and their crew put in to make this possible. As a mother of young daughters, part of my drive to research this dark time in history is to make... more

  • Outstanding podcast

    We are in the golden age of podcasts and this is the one of the best I’ve ever listened to. The creators blend personal narrative with oral history with insights from historians of every stripe to create a deeply moving and fascinating set of shows. My favorite so far is the episode on cameras which helped me understand the origins of the model minority stereotype in new ways. Especially now it seems so important to understand how deep the roots of anti-Asian hatred run.
