In-depth Japan news and culture comedy/parody and also maybe a weekly podcast about Japanese river cruises? Hosted by comedians @bobbyjudo and @olliehorncomedy.
If you didn’t manage to read any news this year, don’t worry! We’ve summarised EVERY story that’s come out of Japan in 2022.

May I please remind you that next week I will be in JAPAN performing stand-up comedy.
If you live in JAPAN (Tokyo or Fukuoka) I can assure you of no better way to spend an evening than in my very nice company with a glass of (included in the ticket price!) beer. Thank you!
Sold out and got rave reviews when Ollie did it, so you'll either get to see an amazing show, or find out AT LONG LAST which co-host is the funny one. Either way, worth the money.
Liked the river run the other day so ran the Kanda river to Sumida today. It’s a shame central Tokyo doesn’t make its riversides more accessible for recreation.
Enemy of the show @jakeadelstein joins @BobbyJudo and @olliehorncomedy for a special episode all about former prime minister and current assassination victim Abe. Wherever you get your podcasts or at https://t.co/M1SmqfmIYT!
Yo! JBRC host @BobbyJudo and JBRC sticker-owner @yukinivez are doing this amazing show in Tokyo. If you've missed our Japan-based humor, this is a good chance to catch some live and also a good test case for planning a JBRC live show. (koff koff)

New Episode Up!
@McReynoldsJoe is co-author of a new book about how flexible micro-spaces create the spontaneity and vitality of Tokyo and how so much of the city is built on the very niche dreams of its citizens (and also slash-fan-fiction).
Listen @ https://t.co/M1SmqfmIYT
@RobertAlanWard would you be interested in sharing your thoughts on our Japan news podcast (150 episodes to date)? 50k+ reach, and we plan a special episode on Abe’s passing. Recording remotely this weekend. Thank you in advance.
hey look @McReynoldsJoe is gonna record a show with us, check your podcast player on Friday to see if you can detect that we made him wake up before sunrise to record 🫠
Up at the crack of dawn here in California to record an episode of the Japan By River Cruise podcast with @olliehorncomedy and @BobbyJudo! Groggy but hopefully it doesn't come through on the podcast.
Back in 2015 @olliehorncomedy was putting the world to rights with his hard-hitting, gritty Japanese stand-up. With this joke alone he ended Japanese people praising foreigners for their Japanese ability.
JBRC May (?) Episode is Live NOW!
Joe Biden's Asia Tour! WaPo Bureau Chief @myhlee talks about what Biden took away from his time in Japan. If he's anything like most Americans, we're betting it was a Hello Kitty T-shirt and a fake sword.

If all goes well, this time next week I’ll set foot in the UK for the first time since 2019🇬🇧
Can’t believe how long it’s been & how much has happened in these 2 endless years. It’s utterly unreal.
I seriously hope the world doesn’t have to endure this again in our lifetimes🙏
Gig is up. The character and back story of Jake Adelstein was born of a bit of improv on our show and became a long running bit.
Audio clips of him are voiced by actor @bobwerley. Pictures of him were obtained by searching shutterstock for "gaijin buys into his own hype."
His tweets at @jakeadelstein are written by a bot algorithm that runs on a library of Japan reddit posts from the mid 90s.
Hope you all enjoyed the project, and sincere apologies to Jess Nakamura, who is real.
