| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Abruñ Japan podcast, probably the best way to learn about life in Japan, |
| 0:21.8 | without actually being in Japan. I'm your host Chris Broad and we're joined by a top London radio DJ |
| 0:26.8 | and self-professed Japanophile Pete Donaldson Pete, how the devil I am. I'm alright, I've had a busy |
| 0:32.4 | week Chris but I'm through the other end. The weather's weird, I keep slipping over but everything's fine. |
| 0:39.1 | You're surviving the beast from the east. The beast from the east. It's horrible title. It's horrible isn't it? |

| 1:51.0 | Well shall I introduce you I mean Chris Broad is a YouTuber who lives in Sendai Japan I mean |
