  • The Famicast is quite possibly the best podcast hosted by two Americans and a Brit that discusses what it's like to be a Nintendo fan in Japan.

  • Cynical, hilarious, foreign Nintendo lovers in Japan!

    An outsider's look at Japanese culture and living, with a focus on Nintendo gaming, from European and North American podcasters. They have good dynamic humor among them and a nice mix of personalities. They do a wonderful job of answering listener questions and offering their observations of Japanese media, language, business, customs, etc., from a Western perspective, but also give glimpses into their own cultures. Thanks guys for a unique, enjoyable Nintendo podcast!
