Episode 89

Welcome to the world of Licca chan Instagram pages, where the dolls are the stars and the women behind the accounts are the puppet masters. It's a world where explosive bowel movements and period pains are just part of the daily routine, and where being a fashion designer means creating outfits for dolls one-sixth the size of a real human.
We delve into the bizarre and hilarious world of Licca chan and the women who have left their jobs to make it their full-time obsession.
Well, it seems like these Licca chan Instagrammers have taken their passion for dolls to a whole new level. 
Could they take their love for posing dolls in everyday situations to the next level by posing real-life humans in the same way.
Trust me their are always some people who will.

It all starts innocently enough,but Criminal Minds warned us about this in Season 10 back in 2010 in the Episode Uncanny Valley.Frightening!!!


But hey, who are we to judge? Maybe this is just the natural progression of their obsession with dolls. Who knows, maybe one day we'll all be walking around looking like oversized toy dolls. One thing's for sure though, these women are definitely taking "playing with dolls" to a whole new level!

We’re getting the band back together!!!

On the latest episode of the "Just Passing Through" podcast,we share some hilarious stories about our most epic Valentine's Day fails. From forgetting to make a dinner reservation to accidentally gifting their significant other with a rabies vaccines instead of chocolates, we know how to strike out when it comes to love.

As if that weren't enough, they also recall the nerve-wracking experience of trying to hold in a fart while sharing a bed with a date after indulging in some questionable Indian food.

As the hosts regale listeners with their embarrassing tales, it's impossible not to laugh along with them. So, if you need a break from the mundane, tune in to "Just Passing Through" for a healthy dose of laughter, and maybe keep a change of pants handy just in case.

Darren and Duncan.

I’m embarrassed to call myself a Brit.We're taking on the elephant in the room, or should we say, the inflatable black PVC outfit on Sam Smith at the Brit Awards 2023. Join us as we examine every inch of this memorable ensemble and try to make sense of what could have possibly gone through Sam's mind when getting dressed that night. I’m guessing no mirrors in the house.

Also,excuses.l was in a foul mood was an excuse used by an Osaka man after robbing four convenience stores at knifepoint.

So,join my first podcast flying solo.

Hitting bars just before the World Cup final.Jamie,Duncan and l shoot the shit about past World Cups and what they meant to us as kids in the 80s from Holland,New Zealand and England.
How crap Xmas can be no matter where you are if you are from a family of drunken brawlers,It really doesn’t make it better if it’s sunny.
And most of all we managed to get sat in the Yorkshire corner of a bar in the middle of Fujisawa a small beach town in Kanagawa.
There’s no place like home.

Episode 82.

Good friend Colin Ainscough joins me at a most exclusive location in Tokyo today.Home to the rich and famous,neither of us are neither of these,Colin fits into the fixtures and fittings of the place.
I first met him almost 9 years to the day after my return to Japan,he'd brought me on board when l was desperate for work,at the time having none and having 3 mouths to feed,on a recommendation of a mutual friend.
The first night of the job l saw him scare the piss out of a kid almost a third his age and thought this is my guy.
So sorry its been a while life has been getting in the way hope this makes up for it all.

Episode 81

Eventually,finally and at last the podcast has a guest for what is was built for.
I came up with this idea for a podcast in early 2019.Lots and lots of tourists had realized that Japan was not as expensive as its reputation and was slowly welcoming visitors from all around the World.l thought it would be a good idea to build up a following a year before the Olympics and then interview some English speaking athletes that come over here to compete.And we all know how that turned out.Two and a half years after we were all locked in tourists have finally made the return today on the 10 th of September.lt will be a while afore the change is noticeable,but it has started.
My guest today is a friend of mine,Dale.A Brit who was taken Down Under by boat in the late 50s on a journey that moulded  his wanderlust,which still burns inside of him in his mid 60s.
I enjoyed this interview thoroughly and l hope you do too.
