“i’m a huge podcast addict – i listen to twice-daily podcasts from the BBC and The Economist; weekly podcasts by The Verge, BBC Africa, The New York Times; tons of stuff on YouTube – and this one beats them all. great topics, smart reporting and analysis, an awesomely personable host who brings out the best in some great guests each week, and a really cozy, relatable vibe overall. i really appreciate how tight and focused it is, and yet it never talks up or down at the listener. the news roundup and show note links are great too, it brings me to lots of Japan Times articles i wouldn’t otherwise read or even know about. but this show is the best and it’s my primary source on all things Japan. keep up the great work!”
