Episode 59: The Chocolate Experiment (Mushroom vs. Bamboo Shoot!)
If you've been in Japan long enough you might have been asked this question: Kinoko no Yama (Mushroom Mountain) or Takenoko no Sato (Bamboo Shoot Village)?). These, of course, refer to a popular chocolate cookie snack. People prefer one or the other and it's quite interesting to see how heated people get over these chocolates. In this episode, I give both a try to see which one I prefer!

Episode 57: New Year's Resolutions with Roman
Hello everyone! Can you believe that January is almost over?! Only 3 more days. Time flies by so fast... On today's episode, we have the last installment of the New Year's Resolutions series. It's been quite interesting hearing about what other people want to do in 2026, and this next guest is no exception. I had the utmost pleasure talking with Roman, a fresh ALT who arrived to Japan six months. And wow, he was great to talk with. His perspectives on things were very interesting and he was so easy to talk with. I'm sure you will find the same when...
