I’m not a huge fan, I’m sorry 😢
James is inspirational
This is Radrey, podcaster from Why Come Japan here. James first reached out to me to be on his show back in 2018. James always has good takes about life in Japan and is fun to follow on his social media. The guests are always of a wide variety which give his listeners a little something for everybody who is living in Japan. Especially good if you’re looking for a job.
