  • A podcast where a male expat invites one Japanese friend on the show but never lets her talk and bullies her on the mic. Cringe.

  • Was fun. Episode on American election full of hate.

    Was a fan until the hosts told half of all Americans to kill themselves because of who they voted for. And I’m not even in that group.
