The Disability News Japan is the podcast accompanying Barrier Free Japan's website. It is a weekly digest of some of the news about disability, hosted by Michael Gillan Peckitt. New episodes will usually available every Friday at 3pm Japan Time.

This episode is posted at an unusual time. I had technical difficulties last week, in other words my iPhone died. Such technological difficulties were in a way, serendipitous, as such problems relate to the subject I just wrote about for Monday 15th October edition of The Japan Times.
