What is the PURE TOKYOSCOPE Podcast? Well… Author and fellow Substack writer Matt Alt and I have been recording together for about a year now. I still can’t believe we’ve made it all the way to episode 53.

Our show is a mix of Japanese pop culture news and features and some of our best episodes to date have been:

  • An Interview with filmmaker Ryuhei Kitamura

  • The Last Unicorn 40th Anniversary Celebration

  • Our Favorite Books About Japan

PURE TOKYOSCOPE usually comes out every week on Wednesdays (US time), but we’re experimenting with early launches of the latest episode a few days early right here via this newsletter on Substack.

If you like our show, please consider subscribing on Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Google, or wherever you listen to podcasts! Thank you!
