Troubles in Paradise - Our Personal Struggles with Life in Kamikatsu BANCHA TALKS in the inaka

    • Places & Travel

Welcome back to our countryside talks, thank you once again for joining us! 🌰

This month with summer drawing to a close, we wanted to catch up on all things tea - like Two Ladies Awa Bancha, of course 😉, as a new tea season is suddenly upon us. 

We also catch up on summer festivals (like the famous 'Awa Odori' in Tokushima), and finally some deep talks about what happens when life is not always roses and blue skies. We hope you like this talk, and as always, leave us a comment on what you would like to hear us talk about next! 

A big shoutout and thank you to Nobuaki Yamazaki for the incredible sound recording on ALL of our episodes, we couldn't do this without you.

Recommendations:

1) “A Passion for Japan”, edited by John Rucynski . The book is available through Amazon globally as an ebook and in print versions. 

2) Boardgames and Wingspan for my bird enthusiast friends 

3) Behind the Change podcast (only available in Japanese) 

4) Climate recommendation: “An optimistic practice” by Intersectional Environmentalist
