About
We started this podcast to stay in touch with friends and family when we moved abroad to Tokyo in August of 2018.
But the show is more than just our personal story. We also share observations and theories about the intersection between American and Japanese culture, both the negative clashes and the positive harmonies that arise. This show will appeal to anyone who is interested in Japan or the experience of living abroad in a foreign country. Or those folks who just find us interesting.
Try out our podcast. Adventure awaits!
