George Takei on the Adam Carolla Show
The irreverent and often hilarious Adam Carolla sat down with Japanese American Star Trek alumni George Takei last year, and I caught the interview in a recent “best of” rebroadcast. George talks about growing as a Japanese-American in internment camps during World War II in the podcast. Adam puts forth the theory that while the internment was evil, it was not born of malicious intent, but George doesn’t seem to buy that.
They also discuss the plight of the woman who came to be known as Tokyo Rose and being gay and Japanese among many other topics.
You can find the show easily on itunes, or download the show directly
here.
For those of you that don’t like listening to Adam can get George’s message in this video.
