Consistently excellent
Conversational in tone and very detailed, Meyer's podcast is definitely on par with Mike Duncan's series. Having lived in Japan for some time, I can tell you that if you listen to this podcast consistently, you will be fairly adept in your understanding of Japanese history in many cases much more so than the Japanese. I have seen some complaints in the comments section about the pop culture references and the casual tone Mr. Meyers adopts, to which I reply that this is a podcast, not an iTunes U episode. I think Mr. Meyers has the correct tone for the format he is presenting. Great job Mike!Read full review »

Excellent, deep, and relatively unbiased coverage of Japanese history. Delivery could use a human touch of rhythmic variety, but the host's content and dedication are spectacular.Read full review »

One of the better history podcasts available, this show does an impressive job of covering a vast subject in a way that's very accessible to people like myself with a limited background in Japanese history.

I've been subscribed and listening to this podcast for several years. I like Isaac's outsider's view of Japan, but it's clear he has an excellent understanding of the culture and history.Read full review »
