Wow!

Hello and welcome to the Brunjapan Podcast, probably the best way of learning about life in Japan,

without actually being in Japan. I'm your host Chris Broad and we're joined as always by

top-lender radio DJ in certified Japanophile, Mr. Pete Donaldson Pete, how you doing?

I feel like I'm in Japan every time I hear your lovely voice Chris, that's the point I'd like to make right now
