Customer Reviews
Love these podcasts
I listen to these podcasts at work since I work 12 hour shifts 4-5 days a week. Helps the shifts go by fast. I also just in general love listening to the podcast. Even on my way home from work or if I’m at home. Just my thing in I go through them so quick that I end up having to replay them from time to time when there isn’t any new ones
Hi
I love your podcasts
A fun listen
I'm very fond of this podcast. To be blunt, if you're a westerner and a skeptic the vast majority of these stories will not be scary at all. But! That doesn't stop them from being very entertaining and interesting insights into Japanese culture.
