Episode 186
Shogun
On this episode, we check out FX's new prestige historical drama Shogun, the latest adaptation of the 1975 novel by James Clavell about an English bloke in feudal Japan. Loosely based on real life historical figures and events, how does this newest adaptation approach the original's themes, and does it elevate the show to become good pop?

Listen to Inheriting from LAist & NPR
"Inheriting" is a show about Asian American and Pacific Islander families, which explores how one event in history can ripple through generations. In doing so, the show seeks to break apart the AAPI monolith and tell a fuller story of these communities. In each episode, NPR’s Emily Kwong sits down with one family and facilitates deeply emotional conversations between their loved ones, exploring how their most personal, private moments are an integral part of history. Through these stories, we show how the past is personal and how to live with the legacies we’re constantly inheriting. New episodes premiere every Thursday.
