Best way to learn about Japan without being in Japan.

With YT going hard like a bidet up Pete’s bowels with demonetizing and treating content creators like third-rate gingers, I’m glad to see Chris go hard via the podcast. Pete’s the best. Word.
Love the podcast. 1 star for spamming feed with other shows.

Pete Donaldson’s Factually-Unsupported, Unwarranted Smear

Jul 30

I love listening to this podcast, for the most part, and I’ve enjoyed all of Abroad in Japan’s videos over the years. Pete Donaldson, in this episode, claimed Lauryn Hill didn’t want white women to buy her records. She NEVER said that, or ANYTHING about any race. Please read Daily Beast’s “How a Racist Smear Campaign Derailed Lauryn Hill’s Career.” How disappointing that he that he didn’t bother to verify whether it was true or not. It compromises the integrity of the podcast and made an otherwise-enjoyable episode end on an ugly, false, and thoroughly-unnecessary note. Otherwise, I love listening to Chris and Pete’s banter and discussions on Japan.
