    Episode 402 - The Friendly Skies Aug 20, 2021
    Show notes

    This week, we're covering the bizarre history of a hijacking attempt from 1970. What led nine young men to seize control of JAL Flight 351, and why in the hell did they think that, of all places to take the plane, North Korea was the one to pick?

    Episode 401 - Worth a Thousand Words Aug 06, 2021
    Show notes

    This week, we're tackling the history of kamishibai, a form of street theater that was once big business but has since faded into obscurity. Where did it come from, and why--after it was killed off by TV and movies--is it worth remembering today?

    Episode 399 - The Three Human Bombs Jul 16, 2021
    Show notes

    This week: how did three soldiers who managed to do something rather unexceptional--dying in Japan's battles in China--manage to become the centerpiece of a state-run cult of heroism?

    Episode 398 - Anchors Aweigh! Jul 09, 2021
    Show notes

    This week, we're talking about a pair of anchors in a Chinese museum and the tortured path they took to get there. What do the anchors have to do with a "correct" (from the view of the Chinese Communist Party) understanding of history--and how does Japan fit into that story?

    Episode 397 - The Weeping Dream Jul 02, 2021
    Show notes

    This week, we're traveling the breadth of Japanese history to answer a seemingly simple question: why is it that so very many of us have heard of haiku? What is so special about this style of poetry, and how did it come to have such global appeal?

    Episode 396 - A Slice of the Pie, Part 3 Jun 25, 2021
    Show notes

    This week, we're covering the transformation of the collapsed LTCB into the revived Shinsei ("New Life") Bank, and the motley cast of American investors and Japanese executives who made this once unthinkable financial future a reality. What led to decades of fiscal tradition being scrapped, and what have the impacts of this choice been?

    Episode 395 - A Slice of the Pie, Part 2 Jun 18, 2021
    Show notes

    This week: a combination of political scandals, tabloid journalism, institutional inertia, and of course the goddamn Swiss lead to the long, slow, death of LTCB.

    Episode 394 - A Slice of the Pie, Part 1 Jun 11, 2021
    Show notes

    This week, we're returning to the era of the bubble economy and its aftermath with an up close look at the failure of one of Japan's most prominent banks: the Long Term Credit Bank of Japan, or LTCB. First: how did LTCB dig itself so deeply into an economic hole?
