Pretty good. A little longer podcast could have delved deeper into all aspects.

Order 9066 - No Spoilers! This historical podcast from APM Reports and the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History is about an important part of American history that is rarely talked about in our schools. In February of 1942 president Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 removing some 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry from their homes on the West Coast and sending them to “relocation” camps. Facilities and conditions in the camps were inhumane and over crowded, meals were made up of meager rations and there was no plumbing or cooking equipment of any kind. This podcast looks at the three years the camps were open and the lasting effects from those who lived through it. I've read and knew a little bit about Order 9066 but hearing the voices and first hand accounts from people who lived through it has such a huge impact. Narrators, Sab Shimono and Pat Suzuki, were both incarcerated at the Amache camp in Colorado and curate the accounts of racism as well as how those effected adaptable remarkably. The show has 4.8 average star, 630 ratings, and 81 written reviews. The powerful history is told a very personal level throughout the podcast and on the website which is full of resources like links to the contributing museums, digital collections from those museums, definitions and encyclopedias, and pictures and descriptions of objects that belonged to the prisoners. 8 episodes make up the series with 5 bonus episodes. All are about 22 minutes long which each episode telling a different part of life in the camps. This is a must listen for everyone interested in history, and constitutional rights. The enduring rippling destruction that immigrant incarceration had and still has on the lives of actual American citizens means our current political climate could really benefit from reexamining this atrocity. Trigger warnings include racism, violence and inhumane treatment and conditions.
