  • Getting a bit too bloated

    Used to really enjoy the podcast, as it was a fun insight into Japan, from both an internal and external perspective, but recently literally the first half of the podcast is just commercials (seven within the first ten minutes) and the promotion of Chris’s book/Youtube channel. For over ten minutes to start the podcast… it’s ridiculous to have to skip halfway into a podcast for fresh content, and then just when it’s hitting the sweet spot it is over.
