“The show is great but it needs more ads in the beginning, middle and end as well as more of Pete talking about his political opinions that aren’t relevant to Japan 👍🏻that’d be great
The episodes with guests besides Pete are good.”

“The best content about Japan is when the focus is on Japan and not the people presenting the content. Chris has the capacity to produce and present the content but usually takes the lazy approach, dumbs down content and focuses on himself. Dont focus on the stereotypes but on the Zeitgeist.”

“Falling in love with another culture, is a rarity. British humour full throttle, old pals sharing experiences, and read fan mail for planning trips & fans experiences. Curious Chris & Pondering Pete are the go to for Japan trip suggestions, learning about famous Japanese etiquette, and...”Read full review »

“This is a fun and informative podcast, very tongue in cheek, in true British tradition.
Chris’s dry wit and droll sense of humour pairs perfectly with Pete’s cheeky personality, making it one of my “must listen” podcasts.”

“I lived in Tokyo 2004-2011 and miss keeping up w what’s going in there. It’s hard to find a podcast or search result that isn’t over the top kawaii nonsense so this is great. NOVA now charges teachers for vomiting in class? This is the kind of thing I like keeping up on. Hilton ads dissed ryokan...”Read full review »

“Decent show, but lately it feels like at least one of the hosts would rather be doing anything else except be on this podcast. Quite a shame to be honest.
Also, recent episodes are very short with about ~30% of the runtime being ads. Just adds to the feeling described above.
I’ll drop this show...”Read full review »

Thoroughly entertaining and usually informative. I gave it four instead of five...”Read full review »

“Don’t understand why Pete (the loud mouth liberal) is on the show. The show is called Aboard in JAPAN … not Updates from the UK. Really enjoy the episodes when you have actual people who lives in Japan on your show. Too bad that doesn’t happen very often. Also not family friendly because these...”Read full review »

“I have been a huge fan of Chris’ over the years! I still am, and will continue to watch his YouTube videos. With that being said, I’m not a fan of Pete bringing politics into this once light hearted & quirky podcast. It really makes it quite negative & I feel bad for Chris who seems like...”Read full review »

“Don’t get me wrong I’m all for advertising so I can get stuff for free but this has to be the only podcast I know with 2 min of ads before the show even starts and 2:40min ads in the middle of the show and 1:30 min. at the end. Takes away all the fun of the show.”

“Not worth the time. Finally I am unsubscribing. Chris has often stated his desire to make documentary and significant videos, but instead he makes cringeworthy and disrespectful bro videos with loser expats. If he started making videos of the same caliber as his Fukushima video, we would be...”Read full review »

“First of all sorry I’m late to the party I discovered Chris Broad on you tube a few years ago and gone on to listen to trash taste where he’s also appeared now and then. I had no idea he had a podcast of his own but here I am with plenty of goodness to listen too 👍😁🇬🇧”

“Pete Donaldson comes off as an ignorant clown and Chris Broad is too whiny at times.
Pete loves banging his white liberal drum of virtual signalling, but can go off on a condescending tangent in the next second to run his mouth on other Asian countries he knows nothing about other than from...”Read full review »

“I had always enjoyed Chris’s and Pete’s banter and interesting POVs on life in Japan. But lately I noticed an increase in the use of vulgarities and the F-word on the show. This is totally unnecessary and has made the podcast less and less appealing and family friendly. Unfortunately I am...”Read full review »

“I use to quite like the show, would listen every ep.
However it seemed to become a bit of a money grab with seemingly little effort put into it since the majority of the episodes consist of 3 things 1: Really aggressive and loud ads (there are a lot of them)
2: Pete talking about what he had for...”Read full review »

Pete’s the best. Word.”
