START HERE: Welcome to Paper Sings

I’m Daniel Madden, an Australian teacher and a father who has spent years separated from his daughter in Japan. My search for answers became an investigation into what governments promise families, what they do, and what happens afterwards.

Paper Sings follows that investigation through letters, official replies and documents released under Freedom of Information. This short introduction explains where it began and how to follow it.

Start with The File Opens. Paper Sings is free to listen to. For the choices, doubts and personal stakes behind the investigation, The View from Below is the paid companion, available through membership here on Patreon.
