Description
Two Shores One Story is a casual, yet, informative podcast that showcases my authentic experiences as a Canadian who is currently in rural Japan. Having experience living on the opposite side of the Pacific Ocean before and a decade of Japanese language and cultural knowledge, I aim to share insightful perspectives of Japan every Wednesday. If you are interested in Japan, whether that be the culture, language, music, food, or anything else under the rising sun, this podcast will have something for you to learn.
