    Apr 27 2026
    In today’s episode, Dani sits down with Morgan Smith, founder of Kalm with Kava, to unpack the truth about one of the most misunderstood drinks in the world—kava.
    Used for centuries across the South Pacific, especially in places like Fiji, kava is more than just a beverage—it’s a ritual, a social experience, and for many, a natural way to relax without losing mental clarity. But as kava has made its way into Western culture, it’s also picked up controversy, misconceptions, and even a few conspiracies along the way.
    Morgan shares his personal journey discovering kava, what led him to build one of the most recognized kava companies, and what people get completely wrong about it.

  • The Hidden Atrocities of the Pacific War | WWII’s Darkest Secrets
    Apr 20 2026
    What really happened in the Pacific theater of World War II… and why do we hear so little about it?
    In this episode, Dani is joined by historian and researcher Jenny Chan, founder of Pacific Atrocities Education. Jenny’s work focuses on uncovering overlooked and suppressed histories from the Pacific Asian theater of World War II—stories that rarely make it into mainstream history books.
    Jenny shares her personal journey into researching wartime atrocities and explains why so many of these events remained hidden for decades. Together, we dive into one of the most shocking tragedies of the war—the sinking of the Arisan Maru—a devastating disaster that killed more American POWs than almost any other maritime tragedy in U.S. history.
    We also revisit the horrifying experiments conducted by Unit 731, the secret biological and chemical warfare program of the Imperial Japanese Army, and discuss why the full truth about these crimes remained buried for so long.
