DEEP IN JAPAN

In this podcast, we chat it up with writer and intercultural communication coach, Nicolas Gattig, who has been living and working in Japan for the last eight years. Gattig's articles and essays about politics and education have been published in the Japan Times, the San Francisco Bay Guardian, SOMA magazine, and Street Sheet. He is greatly interested in literature and the effects of culture, and bursting with insights into Japanese culture and society.
