From plying us with eggnog and holiday cookies to sharing some incredible pumpkin-carving tips, Denise Nakano has become a great friend of The Jawncast. But due to having Japanese ancestry, members of her immediate family were subjected to incarceration at the discriminatory internment camps for Japanese-Americans during World War II. Denise joins us to talk about the lasting ramifications of this period in American history, and discusses the ways anti-Asian hate remains prevalent in our country. 

You can learn more from the Philadelphia Japanese American Citizens League, including information on Japanese American Resettlement in Greater Philadelphia.

We also hear about how local leaders marked the 54th anniversary of the assination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and a Northeast Philadelphia man is using a one-person protest to raise money for humanitarian aid in Ukraine. 

Plus, if our open to the show got you craving some ballpark grub, check out Mike DeNardo’s coverage of what’s new this season at Citizens Bank Park.

Hosted by Jay Scott Smith, hosted and produced by Sabrina Boyd-Surka and Brian Seltzer. Follow @TheJawncast on Twitter for every new episode.
