Hostess Clubs Are Now Online, But So is Abe (w/Micaela Braithwaite)

Japan By River Cruise - Podcast készítő Bobby Judo and Ollie Horn

One of Japan's most successful social media presences, Micaela, joins the boys to talk about Prime Minister Abe's extremely ill-advised foray into a twitter trend (a conversation which we highly encourage him to edit himself into, if he is so inclined). From his messaging, clothing choices, home decor, video editing and general disrespect for the concept of the collaborative project and the artist who created it, we try to imagine ways in which it could've been worse. Also, as tons of businesses in Japan are trying to make the transition into telework, we take at look at Zoom-kyaba, and what it might reveal about the true value received when paying a cute girl to sit near you while you get drunk. Also, Ollie recommends a Hiroshima river cruise that is already planning for the ways in which this pandemic will forever change society, or at least society's willingness to put on trousers, and Bobby takes a look at a complex conflict between those who want to bring a little bit of diversity into the world of Japanese River Cruising and racists.
