About this listen

This week I am on vacation so I decided to bring you a special episode, courtesy of Allison Sheridan our guest from episode 14 who let me use audio from her Chit Chat Across the Pond podcast episode 463. Instead of interviewing a guest, this week's episode is a reenactment of a letter written by Allison's father while he was caught in a Typhoon off the island of Okinawa in japan during World War II. This was September 16th 1945 and he was a Chief Engineer aboard an amphibious ship there. For more details about this story, photos, and the transcript of the letter see Allison's original blogpost https://www.podfeet.com/blog/2016/11/ccatp-463-typhoon/

Enjoy!
