- Episode 405 - J1 Matchday 2Sean Carroll returns to the pod as we discuss a very eventful - and red card heavy - J1 Matchday 2.We began with surprise leaders Kashiwa, the only team with a perfect record after two games, after they came from behind to beat nine-man Yokohama F.Marinos, and then move on to defending champions Kawasaki, who bounced back from their tonking at the hands of Yokohama in midweek by cruising past Kashima away from home (to 27:35).Next we chat about all the drama from the Shizuoka Derby, with Shimizu painting the prefecture orange after beating nine-man Iwata 2-1, and then discuss a huge win for Gamba Osaka, and yet more frustration for Urawa, at Saitama Stadium (to 55:25). From there we move on to the four draws from the matchday, and finish with a look at what's to come in the week ahead.1 hr 27 min

- FC Tokyo Kai-Guys Radio Episode 2Thomas and Alex are back with Episode 2 of FC Tokyo Kai-Guys Radio, as they chat about the positives from the Matchday 1 defeat at the hands of Kawasaki, and the COVID-19 outbreak that has temporarily derailed Tokyo's season (to 22:00).Then the guys welcome on Neil Debnam to get the view from the other side of the Tamagawa, and thoughts on Frontale's start to the season.1 hr
- Episode 404 - J1 Matchday 1: Overreaction TheatreHow's your J1 JPred looking after Matchday 1? Early days of course, but as is tradition here on J-Talk, we like to overreact wildly to a very small sample size, so with our annual hat tip to the ESPN Fantasy Focus (American) Football podcast, Scott McIntyre guests for Overreaction Theatre.We begin with news of a COVID-19 outbreak at FC Tokyo that has seen their next two games postponed, then chat about Tokyo's trip to Kawasaki that kicked-off the season last Friday night - Frontale took the points thanks to Leandro Damiao, but the visitors drew praise from all quarters for their performance (to 21:00).Next we move on to the most surprising result from Matchday 1 - promoted Kyoto's terrific 1-0 home win over an Urawa side that many (over 30% of JPred'ers, actually) have tipped for the title (to 29:30). From there we work our way through the other seven games, including first up wins for Nagoya, Kashima and Kashiwa, and finish with the four draws from the opening weekend.1 hr 24 min

- Episode 403 - Reds Lift Super Cup, J1 Season Previews Part 4Jonny Nicol guests as we review Saturday's Super Cup, and wrap up our club-by-club previews of the new J1 season.After some housekeeping, we praise Urawa for their strong showing in taking down Kawasaki 2-0 at the Nissan Stadium (to 18:10), then begin this set of previews by chatting about Gamba Osaka, who will be desperate to atone for a disappointing 2021 campaign (to 40:30). We then shift to the other half of Osaka, and discuss a Cerezo side that is in a similar boat having slipped out of the top half last term (to 54:40).Next we run the rule over Kyoto, back in the top flight for the first time in over a decade (to 1:11:35), and finish off the Kansai clubs with Kobe, who have lofty goals, and, it appears, the squad to help them achieve them (to 1:26:25). Finally it shapes as a long season ahead for Hiroshima, whose slide in recent seasons could continue and see them battling against the drop (to 1:35:25).We finish off the episode with a look at the fixtures for J1 Matchday 1.1 hr 48 min
- JTET: J2 Season Preview 2022 (Part 1)
After a (painfully) protracted genesis, the JTET machine is back in action for a brand new J2 season.
In Part 1 of our in-depth season previews, Jon Steele was joined by Sean Carroll to take a look at the four newly-relegated sides, along with three of last season's high-fliers in the second tier of the Japanese professional game.
Hope everyone enjoys the show - Parts 2 & 3 coming before the big J2 kick-off this weekend!
1 hr 1 min - Episode 402 - J1 Season Previews Part 3
With the Super Cup taking place this Saturday, the 2022 J1 season is almost upon us, and we continue our club-by-club previews with five teams whose prospects for the new campaign are very much up in the air.
We begin with Shimizu, who have underwhelmed in recent years, and would dearly love a season of midtable stability (to 19:15), then look at their Shizuoka rivals Iwata, who are returning to the top flight as J2 champions, but lost Lukian, their top scorer, and replaced him with a pair of retread strikers that hardly inspire confidence (to 35:00).
Next we chat about a Nagoya side that appear to be on the slide and will have to find their feet under a new manager (to 47:45), then finish down in Kyushu by first checking in on Tosu, who have been stripped of practically all of their goalscorers from 2021, and their best defender, but always seem to find a way (to 1:05:40), and wrap up with Fukuoka, who have added to their attacking weapons and appear well equipped to fight off second season syndrome.

Hope everyone enjoys the episode.
