Our Editor's Take

Abroad in Japan is a popular podcast that brings fans the unique and fascinating world of Japan. Chris Broad hosts the show, and the title is a play on words with his name. The British man started making YouTube videos in 2012 about his life in the country. He started this podcast in 2018. Radio DJ Pete Donaldson, another British fan of Japan, cohosts the show.

This podcast offers an immersive experience into life in Japan. The show talks about Japanese culture, cuisine, current events, and travel tips. Abroad in Japan guides listeners on a journey through the fascinating Asian country. Topics include hotels, great food spots, and everything else that makes up life there. No topic is off-limits.

Chris moved to Japan to teach English and has an outsider's perspective. Yet he gets inside Japanese culture and explains it to Abroad in Japan listeners. The podcast host talks about "only in Japan" things like conveyor belts in sushi restaurants. He explains the culture, traditions, and styles in the country. He is also not afraid to call things out. In the episode "Why Japan's Cat Rental Subscription Service is a Bad Idea," he explains his opposition to this animal-related scheme.

Abroad in Japanlisteners will hear engaging stories about daily life experiences. Topics include navigating Tokyo's bustling streets. The hosts also like to try out new foods at local restaurants.
