Listen "The Great Fire of Chinatown"
Episode Synopsis
In the shadows of paradise, a deadly blaze tore through Honolulu’s Chinatown in 1900 — but was it truly an accident, or something far more sinister? This week, we unravel the haunting story behind the fire that consumed 38 acres, left thousands homeless, and exposed deep racial tensions and public health paranoia. Join me as I dig into the botched plague response, the controversial quarantines, and the chilling truth of how fear turned to flames.
