Episode 119 | Going on Vibes Alone
Podcast: Unhinged HistoryPublished On: Fri May 02 2025
Description: Woowwee. This week is a crazy mashup of stories. First off, Angie shares a Japanese festival called Nakizumo, where sumo wrestlers attempt to make babies cry, on purpose. Theresa overcomes her feelings about this to share the story of Richard Sakakida, a Nisei (a first-generation Japanese American) sent to spy on the Japanese in Manilla before the US's entrance to WWII. She shares his capture, torture, and survival. It's a lot. These stories pair well with: The Spaghetti Hoax The Time the Japanese bombed Oregon during WWII
