This week, we are proud to share the documentaries of KALW producer JoAnn Mar. Over the last four decades, many of her radio features have focused on Asian-American culture and history, and have been featured on NPR, Voice of America, and Pacifica Radio.
On today’s show, JoAnn presents one of her earliest programs—“Indochinatown”—from the mid 80s when Southeast Asian refugees first arrived in San Francisco and struggled to make new lives for themselves in the Tenderloin neighborhood.
