Easily the best interview-based podcast covering Japan. Always a welcoming sight when a new podcast pops up on the feed.

Dave took a break, but he's back! These are great podcasts and really give you insights into the "culture" of Japan. I love the interviews with the expats and how they come off conversational. If you're interested in what it's like to live in Japan, you'll enjoy this podcast.

I just listened to the 1st podcast...really fascinating. I'm looking forward to the 2nd one. What is it? Just casual conversation about Japan from a western point of view. A good comparison might be to Rick Steves when he is studying/speaking on European culture.This podcast was very easy to...Read full review »
