Let's Volt In!

In this nostalgia-driven episode, Carmina and Patch revisit their favorite childhood cartoons. Top of the list is Voltes V, which Carmina and Patch didn’t realize was a political tinderbox and awakened a deeply buried rage. They also discuss favorite runners-up Paul In Fantasyland (but not so much for Patch) and Candy Candy (which they both adore), to round out their reminiscences. But during their research, they made a surprising discovery about the Philippines’ animation industry – so tune in next time for the fascinating sequel to this episode!

Next Episode

A Behind-the-Scenes Story of The Thomasites

The Thomasites were sent to the Philippines to educate but their labors did not focus on that singular purpose. Carmina and Patch discuss how their work served America’s imperial vision of benevolent assimilation, the possible personal motivations of leaving the comforts of home for an unknown land, and their innermost thoughts about the Filipino students under their tutelage and the communities in which they lived. Learn about “Philippinitis,” how one Filipino spent (and thrived) for years at a Native American industrial school and the fascinating synopsis of a historical fiction novel, “The Thomasite.”
