Description

Chuck and His #1 Phan take a pause every year to think about all things Vietnamese on 4/30. (On this day i 1975, the American embassy in Vietnam was overrun by North Vietnamese troops, effectively ending the years-long civil conflict while starting a long, difficult process for all parties, to say the least. A day with a complicated history (less so for Chuck), they question the burden that's on their shoulders to remember and respond effectively.

TW: war, trauma, refugee, memory, Trojan horses.
