KollabCast

This week the Moana talk continues as our guest (and friend of the pod) Sean Miura can't stop thinking about it. We also chat briefly about Golden Globe noms, Kubo, and the importance of respecting your source material, before diving into our main topic, the response letters that the LA Times published this week that defended Japanese Internment during WW2. We talk about what balanced coverage really means, and how the media and entertainment industry might be able to contribute to that balance.

This week’s intro & outro music is provided by our guest Timothy John, the track is “Stubborn” off his debut EP  Stubborn.
