Deep In Japan

This is the DIJ News segment, where Mike Burke and I babble on about the latest Japan-related newsーor anything at all whatsoever. This week, we delve into the Olympics, the vaccine rollout, the shelving of a recent LGBT bill and much much more. The Deep in Japan Podcast is completely independent and crowd-funded. And by that, I mean we are broke, impecunious, poor.
