  • Superficial chatter tangential to Japan

    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.

  • Mostly great!

    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?

  • Long-Time Fan – Still Great Thanks to Chris, But Pete’s Commentary is Wearing Thin

    I’ve been listening to the Abroad in Japan podcast since day one and have been a fan of Chris Broad’s YouTube channel pretty much since he started. His dry humour, sharp observations, and deep respect for Japan make him one of the best voices out there when it comes to Japanese culture and travel. The production quality is always top-notch, and his storytelling is consistently engaging.
