In 1834, the Three Kichis were on a routine journey to deliver rice to Tokyo. But when a typhoon interfered, they were swept out into the Pacific for 5,000 miles — and became the first Japanese people in the Pacific Northwest. But that was only a single moment in one of history’s most amazing journeys. The trio would end up going halfway around the world and back again, seeing things they never could have imagined. Accidental pioneers in a world on the precipice of being transformed. * VERY SPECIAL CREDITS Hosted by Dana Schwartz, Zaron Burnett, Jason English Written by Bess Lovejoy Produced by Josh Fisher Story Editor is Marisa Brown Editing and Sound Design by Jonathan Washington and Josh Fisher Mixing and Mastering by Baheed Frazier Original Music by Elise McCoy Research and Fact Checking by Meredith Danko, Bess Lovejoy, and Austin Thompson Show Logo by Lucy Quintanilla Executive Producer is Jason English Thanks for listening!
