Description
Hello again from the snow country! This is a short announcement to let you know that as of this week, the name of the podcast will be changing from ‘Snow Country For Old Men’ to ‘Snow Country Stories Japan’ and with that, the website address will also be updated.
The reasons for the change are simple and won’t result in any alteration to the podcast content or our usual bi-weekly schedule. While I’m very fond of the current name, I want to make things a little clearer for listeners and help them discover the podcast as easily as possible. This is a podcast about life in Japan’s snow country as told by the people who live here. It’s a podcast of diverse stories and voices and for those reasons, I feel that the simply named ‘Snow Country Stories Japan’ is the best fit for what the podcast already is and the direction I see it headed in future.
The website will also update to www.snowcountrystories.com and our Instagram, Twitter and Facebook accounts will all be updated later this week, before the next full episode is available on Sunday 30th April. I am looking forward to bringing you a lot more stories from the snow country!
