Kiwi in Japan, aka Laurie is a New Zealander who left his homeland to live and work in Japan as an English teacher on the Jet program. He is also a wonderfully wholesome, big-hearted, life-affirming content creator.

With a combination of IRL tours of Japanese hot spots, more sushi restaurants than seems feasibly possible, and brilliant gaming live streams, he is a creator who never fails to deliver.

He also once went viral for chasing a spider the size of Godzilla...almost.

We talked retro gaming, Stardew Valley, the occasionally toxic online space, how one game really let him down, and how his Mum used to fight Zelda boss battles for him. Oh, and of course we discussed the mammoth spider.

Enjoy!
