Dionne Warwick. Kevin Jackson. In this episode of our weekly podcast, we’re joined by legendary singer Dionne Warwick to talk about her upcoming visit to the Blue Note, her love of Japan, and her granddaughter, up-and-coming vocalist Cheyenne Elliott.

We also sit down with Kevin Jackson, the former University of Hawaii football star who now plays for the Obic Seagulls in Japan’s X League, to discuss how American football in played in Japan, outreach into schools, and much more.

In addition to our two featured interviews, we say farewell to Obon with a look at some of Japan’s most famous ghost stories. Plus, we once again make a few trips to Classifieds Corner.

This week’s segments were recorded in studio and at various locations around Roppongi Hills.
