A weekly magazine-style radio show featuring the voices and stories of Asians and Pacific Islanders from all corners of our community. The show is produced by a collective of media makers, deejays, and activists.

Tonight Powerleegirl hosts Miko Lee and Jalena Keane-Lee    discuss Sharing the Knowledge. How do we pass words of wisdom from one generation to the next? How do we learn from the past and grow toward the future?  We discuss the Japanese American internment, political prisoners in the Philippines and the start of the farm workers rights movement.

We speak with Jeff Matsuoka and Ben Takeshita about the Day of Remembrance, hear an update from the Philippines and talk with author Gayle Romasanta about her new book on labor leader Larry Itliong.
