Park Uchi
I've listened to five episodes and each is totally different - and that's good! Jeff starts our casual, but as the show goes on heads into some meaty issues such as alcoholism, the dwindling of population in small towns, the foreigner's unconscious bias, and much more. His excellent and informative guests add insight and facts that I haven't come across before despite living in Japan and reading many books about that land and its people.
Interesting guests
I’ve been listening to this podcast because of the host’s interaction with Steve Edwards , his most interesting guest . Now that the host explained their relationship is done , listeners like me are wondering what happened or please arrange a reunion and regular features of Steve . He has a long history and would love to know how guests manage their lives when they return to their home country . More episodes like these are hoped for .

Your guest was truly amazing! Wisdom from the heart! Unfortunately, I think we both share a pessimistic view of world politics and the environment...So sad
