Josh in Japan

In Episode #19, I discuss the history of the Japanese Imperial Family, their role throughout history, and their role as modern day figures of Japanese culture and society.

I apologize first off for putting the show up so late. I have just had a very busy weekend, and just have not had the time until now to put anything together. It was all ready to be recorded, I just needed mic time.

I went off show format a bit this week, but I am just a nut about Japanese History, and I love the way the Imperial Family has had everything to do with the development of this country up until the 1950’s! I know it’s not the most exciting show you’ll hear, but it’s a little informative to those who don’t have much knowledge about the history of Japan.

If you have the money, I would highly suggest you get a “Podcast Art Calendar” made by the famous Len from JawBone Radio
