This is part one of an in-depth discussion about Japan's post war economy. Don't worry, I keep things fairly light-hearted, but it is filled with info that I have compiled over my stay here and I wish I knew before coming.

A bit of short, rambling episode covering everything from Costco's Tiramisu to boy band break ups. My apologies for the crazy episode, but we found a nice topic for the next one.

We wrap up our corporate conversation with a few stories (good and bad), dish on Golden Week in Japan, I give a kawaii anime recommendation, and go off on a rant several times...as usual.

This time we have a full plate. I continue the discussion from the previous episode, but not before talking about everything from the diet here in Japan to pervy late night anime.

In this episode I share some baseball experiences I have had over here along with how Shohei Otani mania is sweeping the country, discuss how people in Japan find restaurants, and finally set up a conversation on the changes in Japan's corporate landscape.

We have an info packed episode where I go off on a rant about the concept of "patience" in Japan plus give some tips on picking up the culture and how helpful that can be. Later we get into an interesting sumo related situation that happened this week in Japan and how it relates to honor here.

In this quick episode I explain a bit about entering a Japanese company, explain why the episode was a bit late, and give an anecdote about an interesting person I saw on the streets of Tokyo this past week.

This time we got into a good article and discussion about karaoke in Japan. We had tips, embarrassing stories, much more. Before that there is a bit of rant from me, so skip to minute 15 if you don't want to hear any of that stuff.

Even though my throat bothered me the whole time, I powered though over the course of two nights and completed our discussion of cherry blossom season in Japan. Before that we started off with a quick supplementary earthquake discussion.

The first half of this episode was primarily a Black Panther rant, but after that we spun off into some other useful anecdotal info about life here including a random bit of drama I encountered on the train.
