Months 6, 11, 23, 24, & pregnancy week 24. This week Justin is still in America, but has deigned to join Mark & Joe to discuss the merits and further merits of the Japanese childcare leave system, which is not something Joe has experienced. There's all the usual favourites, plus the bits you don't like very much. Watch out for a made-up Dad Joke from Joe, you can tell which one it is from Mark's reaction. As usual, please send any questions or comments to us by email at info@thejpops.com.

Months 5, 11, 23, 24, & pregnancy week 22. This week Mark & Joe are mostly on their own, as Justin abandoned them for America! Actually, it was more a scheduling conflist that kept us apart. We'll be back to normal next time. For this episode the main topic is the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Please send any questions or comments to us by email at info@thejpops.com.

Months 5, 10, 22, 24, & pregnancy week 20. Wow, the list of ages is getting long. Partly because there's another baby on the way, and partly because we have a new host who brought along a baby of his own! Welcome Joe! He's guest-hosted a time or two, so J-Pop regulars will known him well. Today, he catches us up on Yuki, his 10 month old. Other topics for discussion include: wisdom teeth, epidurals, and the toys we hate. Please send any questions or comments to us by email at info@thejpops.com.
