Pantsuit Politics Podcast
Customer Reviews
Table talk
It’s like having your friends sitting at your table chatting while you’re doing dishes. It’s always better to do work when you have friends around! That’s what these two bring to their podcast—warmth, humor and friendship.
Two very fun intellectuals!
Angie and Jamie give an inside scoop on life in Tokyo from a TCK point of view. To be interesting you have to be interested! They are both interested, for sure! They research, think, speak and laugh well. Tune in for a weekly “quirk and quandary”. You’ll love it!
Very Entertaining, Educational, and Fun podcast!
This podcast is very educational, I learned so much after listening to 1 episode. Great insight on Japanese culture, would definitely recommend!
