Before you apply
Who we are looking for
The podcast is conversations with Japanese people, and with people who have spent most of their life in Japan. Everything on the show comes back to that everyday, lived experience of the country.
This is the right show for you if
- You were born and raised in Japan
- You were born elsewhere, but Japan is where you grew up
- You were born in Japan, spent time abroad, and Japan is still home
- Japan is where you have spent most of your life
If you have spent less than about ten years in Japan, this is probably not the right show for you. That is no reflection on you at all — we simply have a very particular show in mind, and the first two questions on the form ask about exactly this.
