  • Copy/Paste Japan in the United States | Joe McReynolds | Why Come Japan #54
    In my most NPR-esque interview, I interview Joe McReynolds and we have serious listening problems. If you pay attention to the interviews as I do, you'll notice how Joe tells me things about what stuff he's done before, yet it doesn't register with me and I ask him again about what he's already said. I blame my setup for this issue. Too many lights and separation between me and the guest. Anyway, we talk about Joe's interesting job he's doing here. That is studying Tokyo and seeing how it would fit back in the USA. We talk also about his book on Chinese military weapons which he swears noone should read. Then we talk about bullshit jobs, fan fiction, and so much more.

  • Japanese Graphic Design Explained | Ian Lynam | Why Come Japan #53
    Today on Why Come Japan, we go to a random park in Japan to try to record a more ambient podcast. Was this a lame idea? Or was it neat?
    You decide. In the interview, we talk about Ian's books, book signings, John Hancocks, what makes a good font, American Apparel, Bill Cosby and the metoo movement, what a zine is, what Ian's books on design are about, Mad Men pitches, teaching, Malcolm Gladwell, Memes, the state of modern advertising, and so much more.

  • Writing books in Japan that aren't about Japan | Rayme Michaels | Why Come Japan #50
    Why Come Japan comes back for its latest attempt to do an in-the-flesh interview, instead of the usual computer to computer google hangouts thing. Again, I fail to make the sound sound good (as stated in the beginning).
    This time Rayme Michaels returns to the show has written another book called the Chaos Cafe. We talk about his new book, why Rayme doesn't set any of his books in Japan despite living here, the death of the author, the bechdel test, and much more.
