In this episode Corey interviews writer and producer Daniel Abella about his powerful new play, 'The Diary of Yoko Moriwaki.' The play is inspired by the real-life diary of a 13-year-old girl who became a victim of the Hiroshima atomic bombing. Daniel shares his journey of discovering Yoko's diary, the challenges of adapting her story for the stage, and the importance of remembering the voices of young people affected by war. The conversation examines themes of healing through art, cultural representation, and the universal lessons that Yoko's story imparts in today's world.
