Japan Banter Club podcast

Japan Banter Club

Japan Forward

Japan Forward's new monthly podcast, Japan Banter Club, kicks off with hosts Dan Manning and George (お喋りじょーじ)—two long-term foreign residents of Japan—talking through what still catches them off guard, even after more than a decade living here.

It's a monthly conversation about Japan—its culture, society, and politics—from two people who actually live here, without the usual extremes of uncritical praise or cynicism.
