Just Passing Through Podcast
161 episodes - English - Latest episode: 2 days ago -Step into 'Just Passing Through,' the podcast that chronicles my Yorkshireman adventures navigating the maze of Japanese life. No guarantees of laughter, but we promise a healthy dose of raised eyebrows and bemused chuckles.
In each episode, we'll explore the quirky intersections of cultures, from attempting to decipher the intricacies of local customs to introducing Japan to the wonders of a proper brew. It's a podcast where culture shock meets dry Yorkshire wit – a journey through the everyday absurdities that make life interesting.
So, if you're up for a laid-back, eyebrow-raising, and occasionally head-scratching experience, hit that download button. 'Just Passing Through' – where each episode is a detour into the unpredictable and a reminder that life's little oddities are the spice of the journey."
Enjoy,Darren.
