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.

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

I listened to an episode of ALT insider and Jeff happened to be a guest on an episode. I really liked what he had to say and decided to check out his podcast Deep In Japan. I really enjoy his stories and guests that go more in depth about living in Japan. I would highly recommend this podcast to friends and family!

Jeff interviewed me for the “Debito: Racism in Japan” podcast, and I was impressed not only with all the good questions and the friendly atmosphere he created, but also how much research he put into his subject pre-interview. He read my entire 400-page book “Embedded Racism” in three sittings beforehand, and did more groundwork on the issues than many professional reporters I’ve been interviewed by. The podcast demonstrates that in its breadth and depth. Highly recommended.

As an ex ex-pat, hearing about familiar places and culture, discussed by interesting and introspective people, gives me a deeper understanding of my own experiences in Japan. Keep it up!

Gives a very interesting perspective on what life is like living in Japan as a forigner from those with years of experience. Always includes some really interesting interviews and information, can't recommend this one enough! Worth subscribing for sure!

A great view of contemporary Japan as told through ex-pats and their unique experiences. Cheeky, insightful, and absolutely refreshing to the ears.
