About this listen

From indigenous origins to animal migrations to World War II, Alaska and Japan have been linked in a variety of ways going back to early human migration. Andrew and friend of the pod Jared recently visited the great country of Japan and we spend today's episode discussing the commonalities between the country of Japan and the Last Frontier State of Alaska. What is the Kelp Highway Hypothesis? Where was the only land battle on U.S. soil fought during World War II? And why are Japanese toilets amazing except when you have food poisoning?! It's the episode you'll be craving sake after!
