A Year in Japan Joseph Tame

A Year in Japan finally gives birth to its first descendent - Japan Podshow - subscribe now at http://www.japanpodshow.com .

In this first non-episode episode, you'll meet George and Joseph, your guides for the upcoming 12-part series Japan Podshow. Japan Podshow is now listed in iTunes - just search for Japan Podshow, and make sure you don't miss a single episode of what is (probably) destined to become the most amazing podcast ever in the history of podcasting.

There will be no further releases through the A Year in Japan feed.

After a podfade of about 15 months, Joseph is back with a very short announcement - he's about to start a new Podcast from Japan!

Japan Podshow is a brand new podcast bringing you weird and wonderful stories from the land of the rising tide of foreigners. We're looking to expose the real life of foreigners in Japan, showcasing all the success stories, and the not-so-successful-but-amusing stories, in addition to bringing you the latest news from the streets of Tokyo and beyond.

We're launching in April 2009 - head on over to http://www.japanpodshow.com for the new feeds.

Not exactly a Christmas special, more a New Year Ramble.

In Episode 13 of A year in Japan, Joseph gets wiggy as he takes a step back and assesses his final year of Japanese Studies at the University of Sheffield. There's talk of the future too in this 38 minute episode, a lot of which was recorded in the woods in the Animal Council Clearing.

In this very short podcast, I tell you about my plans for another series of A Year in Japan in 2008!

Thanks to Positive Internet (www.positive-internet.com) for hosting A Year in Japan!

See you in 2008!

In the last show of series one of A Year in Japan, Joseph brings you up to date with the hectic final month of his Year in Japan as a university student.

Hear the story about how a drunken hair cut almost cost him his Fuji TV Drama debut, in which he stars alongside the award-winning actress Tokiwa Takako. There's news on his engagement to *Twinkle* too - exactly how did he propose?

There's also news of his next mega-exciting super duper project: 28 Days Halfway Around the World, a trans-siberian adventure that starts on August 14th 2007 (See www.9000miles.info).

All this and more in Episode 11 of A Year in Japan.

In this mini episode of A Year in Japan I ask for your requests - what should I do in the last episode in this series of a Year in Japan, to be broadcast next month? It's up you! Send your ideas in to joseph@ayearinjapan.com

In the meantime, I'll try and survive my end-of-year exams!
