I’ve been visiting Japan yearly for the last six years and always find this pod interesting & valuable! I’m in Tokyo right now and listening. Love it! Also loved Chris’s book!
Tiresome. Not worth your effort. Chris has the capacity to produce and present the content but usually takes the lazy approach, dumbs down content and focuses on himself. Dont focus on the stereotypes.
Chris is as entertaining here as in his YouTube vids. Pete is fun for the most part, but his extreme liberal views often conflict with Japan’s, mostly, conservative nature. Still a great listen and definitely recommended!
Good podcast but how about covering the rise of xenophobia and right wing politics here?

The production quality is always top-notch, and his storytelling is consistently engaging.
