    I love this podcast. i am a Japanese person living in the US and i assume most of the audience is not from Japan. This podcast proves that more and more people are interested in Japan abroad and it is good to see. Unlike other news sources, they pick interesting news topics and are very entertaining. Keep up the good work!

  • Enjoyable deep dive of the news

    I’ve been fascinated by Japan since my first visit there in 2008 but only the last year have I decided to take my interest to the next level and really *learn* about Japan. I am also learning Japanese. This podcasts gives me so much to work with. Not just current events, but cultural insights, unique phrases that I won’t find in my textbook, and personal stories about living in Japan that are invaluable. Love these guys!
