About this listen

How would you describe Hello Kitty? Cute? Innocent? A cat? You’d be partly right, but hold up on that last one…Larkin walks us through the history and legacy of Hello Kitty, shares some facts about her that make Kate absolutely furious, and describes how a culture of cute helped heal the economy (and image) of post-war Japan.ReferencesYano, Christine R.
