沖繩是舉世公認的夢幻度假海島。想像有一天老闆對你說，「公司要把你外派到沖繩！」，你的第一個反應會是什麼？想必是連高興都來不及了吧！ 本集的來賓Brandy，和先生兩人也就是這樣因為工作關係來到沖繩，只不過這間「公司」比較特別一點——他們是以美國軍人的身份被派駐在沖繩；也因為這個特殊的身份，讓他們擁有和其他人很不一樣的沖繩生活。 是的，我們好像都忘了，其實沖繩和金門、馬祖一樣，是被高度軍事化的海島！光在沖繩本島上，就有高達18%的土地是美軍所有，基地門口每天都有居民靜坐抗議；而在另一側的基地內部，則像是個平行世界，食衣住行樣樣不缺，還有從太平洋另一端大老遠運來的感恩節火雞、情人節巧克力，只為了讓官兵們感覺自己彷彿在家鄉！ 在這集節目裡，Brandy將以美軍軍眷的身份，帶我們認識她眼中的沖繩。我們會從二次大戰留下的歷史遺跡出發、探討美軍佔領沖繩的來龍去脈，並尋訪電影《鋼鐵英雄》（Hacksaw Ridge，2016）的真實歷史場景；而在節目後半，我們則將前往Brandy最推薦的沖繩離島「慶良間諸島」與「伊江島」，感受不同於本島的愜意氛圍，並且悠游在「比照片上看起來更湛藍」的大海中！ 旅行熱炒店EP48，讓我們一起透過聲音前往沖繩，從二戰史跡一路玩到離島秘境吧！ （由於本集含有多種語言之間的專有名詞切換，建議收聽的時候一邊參考下方的多語對照整理唷～）
