Mind Duck Japan

I have made a very bad decision and decided to start making an anime podcast even though I don't like anime and almost never watch it. Join us - Martin, Adam and Chan on the first episode where we collectively watch an anime show and discuss it in depth.

On this episode it's NEW GAME!

Notes:

30:00 Spoilers

All you need to know about clinical trials in Japan. Yaz (Yaz_JP on Youtube) joined me to discuss out time we spent locked up in a hospital together. You might not believe it but we really enjoyed. It was like having a nice relaxing holiday with a roommate who's a vampire and constantly wants to suck your blood.

Have you ever though about joining a clinical trial? Do you wonder how different it is in Japan versus other countries or how overly polite and safe Japanese doctors are? This episode is for you.

Do you mind swearing, are you easily offended, do you get irritated by randomness? Don't listen to this episode then.

Chan joined me on episode 25 where we test our new equipment, look at listener mail, discuss the future of this podcast and plans to start new episodes about books, games and more.

As usual, you can also learn something about the Japanese language, hear about our take on Japanese "rule culture" and ponder about my thought(quack) of the day. Last but not least, we have a laugh about the best swearword songs.

We were very lucky and managed to get our Japanese friend Shohei on the  podcast to tell us why he became a jeweler and introduced us to a very  special kind of service in Japan - calling a demon on the phone.  Moreover, Chan and I tested many Japanese dad jokes and tried to make  Shohei laugh at least once. Join us on this fun episode of the Mind Duck  Japan podcast.

Disclaimer: The cover photo is me and Chan on Halloween and doesn't have  anything to do with this episode. YES I am a demon but NO, you can't  call me.

Episode notes:

Brad and I embarked on another bicycle trip. This time, we took a ferry  to the Chiba peninsula and went all the way around it along the beach.  We finished all the way north in Ibaraki to see the Furukoda falls.

You can look forward to hearing about Godzilla's crotch, the Hell Peak  point, whale restaurants, Wave Riding Vehicles and much more.

Check out the photos and the video for 1 hour of unedited videos from the trip.

On this super chilled out episode we dive deep into a tea infused discussion that took us 3 hours. Not to worry, I cut that in half. :D

We discuss our failures with steaming, rolling and preparing fresh tea leaves at home, picking tea leaves at tea farms, ponder about tea thinking puzzles, learn all the names of Japanese teas and sign up on Steepster, the social network where you can log what tea you are drinking.

Make some tea and join us on this unforgettable tea ride.

I sit with Brad to discuss cycling in a park in Yokohama while we finally feature actual live ducks on this episode of the Mind Duck Japan podcast.

The student has become the master and Brad basically took my role on his most recent bicycle trip. :D We also talk about surfing addiction, exploding dumplings and ponder whether people can be killed with kindness.
