Japan Station: A Podcast About Japan by JapanKyo.com

This is such an amazing podcasts it offers something different than the typical japan themed podcasts out there. The talks are diverse and cover a ton of different topics from foreign manga creators to Japanese cuisine inspired chefs. Antonio is a very pleasant interviewer and let’s his guests freely talk about their story without much interjection which is great

It was hard even to give this 2 stars, in that the podcast is unlistenable due to the host making about 2 to 3 “mmm” noises every sentence his guests speaks. It’s effectively distracting to both the listener and the guests (as you can hear them frequently pause and almost loose track of what they were saying). Imagine a buttery voiced yoda constantly “mmm”ing throughout the interviews. It’s awful! Stop it! If the host can break this habit, it will be a fantastic podcast with very interesting topics. But as is, good luck trying to get through 5 minutes of “mmm”… “mmm”…. “Mmm”…. “Mmm”…

I am so glad I found this podcast! It’s great to listen to while I do mindless tasks for work. The interviews are both informative and fun. I love that there’s a variety of topics discussed, from folklore to working in Japan. Thank you for making this! I look forward to sharing it with my friends and the Japanese club at my university.

There's a great variety of guests and topics. In depth interviews. Check it out!
