Idk about this interview but I'm pretty sure he's only done like two. From what I've heard he's a Japanese-American that did blue collar work and was inspired to write Settlers because his working class white co-workers were extremely racist and lacked any semblance of solidarity that he would see among nonwhite workers.
Other than that though he's basically a ghost. He revises Settlers every so often but doesn't really do anything in person.
Here is one interview https://unsettlingamerica.wordpress.com/2013/04/30/interview-with-j-sakai-author-of-settlers-mythology-of-the-white-proletariat/
Yeah I found that interview. I'm more wondering about biographical details (unless he mentions some in the interview, I haven't listened yet)
