The Inside Japan Podcast

Started from the bottom and now we're here. 100 episodes. A whole lot has changed in my life since 2015, (3 moves, 2 kids, and no more teaching) but the podcast remains. I raise my glass to every listener and here's to 100 more.

The epic 100th episode needed an epic guest, so huge thanks for Koichi from Tofugu for awesomely filling that role. We talk about all about him, why he dug Japan, and the birth and future of Tofugu.com.

 

Enjoy!
