Customer Reviews
Perfect for fans of Nintendo and Japan!
This podcast is like the perfect cross-section of my interests. The host is well-spoken and thoughtfully curates a show that gives us a slice of Japanese culture and mixes in the fun of Nintendo. Good production quality and the episodes are the perfect length. Highly recommend — and an excellent social media follow as well!
