We continue our journey into The Sound of Young America's vast audio archive with this program from The Sound of Young America Classics.
Woodrow Phoenix is the author of "Plastic Culture: How Japanese Toys Conquered the World." Jesse calls him from across the pond and talks to Phoenix about this book, as well as the role of toys in modern society. Phoenix's book touches upon the development of Japanese toy culture, the development of urban toy culture, and the significance of plastic in constructing these toys.
Check out Phoenix's website for more of his work and his twitter to stay updated on his current projects.
