Episode 47 - Unit 731

Sun, 21 Apr 2024 14:53:07 -0400

Quite possibly the most darkest secret that Japan has as a nation. World War II is known to us for how gruesome it was and the major impact it had on the world. We know well of Nazi Germany and the horrid acts committed against the Jewish people as well as the Gypsies and other groups deemed less than, but not many people have spoken about Imperial Japan and the absolutely grotesque acts committed on not just Korea, China, and all of Asia as well as its effect on the Western World.

This is the horrific story of Unit 731.

Number for Seoul's Yangcheon Police Station - +82 2-2093-8324) In the early 2000s, South Korea had a strain of murders and crime. One of these is an unsolved murder case where the key evidence happens to be a Mashimaro Rabbit sticker. To this day, the case, as of now, remains unsolved.

Episode 35 - The Haunting Memories of Japan | Okawa Elementary School

Sun, 13 Aug 2023 12:21:29 -0400

It isn't a surprise that with any disaster, haunting memories will follow as well as ghost stories. However, despite the ghost stories we hear, what happened at Okawa elementary school on the day of March 11, 2011 was extremely real and very heart-breaking as well as horrifying.

While we do discuss some of the ghost stories today, the real topic of today is Okawa Elementary School, and keeping the memory alive for the sake of those lost as well as their families.

Episode 34 - Fukushima Daini | The Surviving Sister Plant

Wed, 02 Aug 2023 20:56:04 -0400

While Fukushima Daiichi is the plant that comes to mind when people think of the Nuclear Disaster that occurred in Japan in 2011, not much is said about the sister plant that managed to survive the nuclear catastrophe that could have been.

Subtle differences in leadership played a key factor for motivation and overall how the plant outcomes turned out. We'll discuss today how Fukushima Daini was left mostly unharmed.

Episode 33 - The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster

Sun, 23 Jul 2023 13:38:19 -0400

March 11, 2011, one of the biggest earthquakes ever to be recorded in history would hit Japan, causing massive amounts of damage. The resulting Tsunami, would claim more lives and result in the destruction of many buildings like the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.

Looking back on those days, tons of controversy came to light in these crucial moments showing just how dangerous nuclear power can be.

In response to the threat of their businesses being looted or burned down, Korean immigrants took to the roofs of their businesses to protect their livelihoods.

Sun, 07 May 2023 13:38:39 -0400

Anyone with a small knowledge of the Labor Movement in South Korea knows of Jeon Tae-il, but for those who don't or have a very limited knowledge, this episode dives into the history of Jeon Tae-Il.

As a child, he was known to have a heart of gold and strong sense of justice, always wanting what was right for the good of people. This carried on well into his adolescence and into his early adulthood.

We will see how he made a massive impact for Korean History, changed the face of the Korean Labor Movement, and talk about his past and what led up to the infamous day that changed these events.

Episode 26 - Shi Pei-Pu | The Chinese Spy and the Honey Pot Trap

Wed, 26 Apr 2023 20:17:41 -0400

Something that seems rather too scripted and dramatic to have actually happened, but did. When I say this isn't something you can make up, I genuinely mean it.
