This episode is a little different. It's a more casual episode even though it's a long one. Turn it up and listen to the last of the summer cicadas as we talk about some of the movies, books, and activities that have been getting us through 2021 so far, along with the usual tangents as we remember our time in Japan. Enjoy.
