13 years have passed since the catastrophic events of March 11th's Great East Japan earthquake & tsunami, along with the nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi Plant. Fukushima, as a prefectural community, has demonstrated incredible resiliency in its recovery efforts, but unfortunately there still is a residual stigma attached to the prefecture. One way that Fukushima has been combating that reputation is through some creative initiatives involving education through first-hand experiences. Today, the Krewe sits down with William McMichael, an integral figure in these projects, to discuss how Fukushima University's Fukushima Ambassadors Program & Hope Tourism have helped introduce the world to Fukushima in a different way. ------ About the Krewe ------The Krewe of Japan Podcast is a weekly episodic podcast sponsored by the Japan Society of New Orleans.

Japan's Top Business Interviews Podcast By Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
Brendan Delahunty, who is the President of SPORTS TRAVEL & HOSPITALITY JAPAN (STH JAPAN) , first arrived in Japan for the JET Program in 1993 and has been living in the country since then, for over 30 years. His teaching experience through the JET Program led him into working at Pearson, the world's largest education company. At Pearson, Mr. Delahunty ended up working as the Sales and Marketing Manager for about four years in Tokyo and Osaka. While working at Pearson, Mr. Delahunty moved back to London to work in the global project management office there. In London, he and his team members looked after all the international projects. Based on these experiences, Pearson asked him to come back to Japan in 2007. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Delahunty became the President of Pearson Japan and led the company for seven years until stepping into his current role at STH JAPAN. While working in various countries such as Japan and the United Kingdom, Mr. Delahunty learned about leadership and how it works in different countries. Mr. Delahunty defined that leadership is the person in the team who ultimately takes responsibility and makes decisions but involves the whole team in the decision-making process, trying to make the team feel comfortable with the leader and team. Also, he mentions the key to managing other Japanese salespeople is to be a “longman” – someone who gives advice and leads – especially since salespeople are concerned about the ability of their managers to lead with confidence. The age factor is quite important in Japan and Mr. Delahunty also knew that. Because of this culture, he got into conflict with his team members during his first years of leadership. In order to resolve this issue and build better relationships with his team, Mr. Delahunty looked for people who were not satisfied in their current working environment at Pearson. He then set up a “voluntary redundancy scheme” to better evaluate employee performance and promote those who had the ability and integrity. And what he found was that by giving skilled, younger managers opportunities that they were not expecting to receive for another 10 years, they became increasingly engaged. As a leader, he established a new young and passionate organizational culture by adjusting the old Japanese workplace structure and promoting young talent throughout this process. Mr. Delahunty gave some advice for newcomers to Japan. Mr. Delahunty says, the most important thing for them is “to be open when you come here…[because] the ways of working here, the meetings that you do, and the sorts of things that go on in meetings, the relationships that you have, they're all very different to working in Western cultures.” Therefore, sometimes silence is the best way to treat some actions from Japanese coworker when adopting Japanese workplace culture. Mr. Delahunty also says, “after you get used to this culture, start learning Japanese.” Because, at least a little bit of Japanese is always useful, enough to be able to go out and have a few beers and have a small conversation. Due to Japan having a drinking culture after work, it can serve as a bonding opportunity for coworkers in Japanese.
A wild Rapid Fire Question Challenge appears! Season 3's 1st RFQC actually is a throwback to a couple Season 1 guests whose rapid fires never got released. The first challenger is Jennifer O'Donnell, translator & localizer who joined us for Season 1 Episode 15 called "Careers in Japanese: Translation & Localization". In that episode, we explored how to leverage Japanese language study into a career in translation and a peek behind the industry's curtain. After Round 1 finished, Megan DeVille stepped up onto the RFQ Challenge stage. Megan was our guest on Season 1 Episode 17 entitled "Accepted for JET Program... Now What?!". Megan recalls her JET Program application process, as well as talks about her experiences mentoring (and interviewing) prospective JET applicants. A fun mini-episode to hold us over until next week's episode on food-based travel, featuring an awesome conversation with Shinichi of the popular YouTube channel, TabiEats!------ About the Krewe ------The Krewe of Japan Podcast is a weekly episodic podcast sponsored by the Japan Society of New Orleans.

This week we have a wonderful guest, Jenny Rarick from the US and they are currently living in Hofu-shi, Japan. Jenny identifies as Gender Fluid & Gynesexual, this is the main topic in the curious world of gender identity spectrums with Tiffany! Tiffany and Jenny met through Pride house in Shinjuku, which is a LGBTQ+ community that provides both physical and mental relaxation to be able to express one's Gender & Sexual identity without judgement. We learn from Jenny's introduction that her gender identity depends on the situation and day. The conversation dives into Jennys experience in Japan, what she loves about the country, the cultural differences, dating experiences and the challenges they face as a foreigner and with their Gender identity. Jenny expresses how they are not ashamed of how they represent themselves in the world. Jenny mentions that being LGBTQ+ isn't defined by a person's fashion, and want to be treated like everyone else without the extra steps. Jenny was born in the City of Indianapolis in 1989, and lived in the small city of Muncie. Jenny double majored in Environmental Science and Japanese, and minored in Astronomy. They undertook a one-year study abroad program at Tokyo Gakugei University.

How true is the slogan, “Jets = Jobs?” Well, jets do create jobs, but so do most development initiatives. What's less understood are the negative economic effects of the Naval installations on Whidbey Island, Washington. Economist Michael Shuman (he/him) joins the podcast to share the true economic impacts of these naval installations, both positive and negative. Listen for a clear breakdown of the costs from the Navy to the local community, how Whidbey Island could greatly benefit from economic diversification, like much of the rest of Washington State has done, and what the Navy can do to benefit the local economy and be a good neighbor.

Subsidized - To underwrite something financially, providing the support that keeps it going.

Si Qua Virtus - Episode 38: Michael Cibenko, Samurai and the Catholic Faith For episode 38 of Si Qua Virtus – Creativity and the New Christendom, host Christopher Laurence is very pleased to welcome author Michael T. Cibenko, to discuss his historical fiction novel Masaru, a story of Christianity's entry into Japan through the eyes of one young samurai. [Opening and closing music for each episode of Si Qua Virtus provided by Josef Saunders/Mödest. His albums can be heard HERE.] Michael Thomas Cibenko After graduating from the University of Montana in 1996, Michael spent four years living in Kumamoto Prefecture as a participant in the JET Program. During that time, he was inspired by the small but devout Catholic community there. His novel, Masaru, is based upon the events of the Shimabara Rebellion, an uprising of persecuted Christians in the 17th century. After returning to the U.S., Michael spent fourteen years as a teacher at Pope John XXIII High School (Japanese, German, and Theology), and in 2009 was presented the Excellence in Teaching Japanese award by Seton Hall University. Michael has also written an article on truth in fiction, here. Masaru can be purchased here. Our Readers And Listeners Keep Us In Print & On The Air!

Hello, and welcome to yet another episode of Some Patches Required. Yep, we're still doing the dang thing. This week, we're proud to introduce a special guest by the name of Bruce Evans, who just so happens to be a technical artist at Blizzard.We invited Bruce to talk a bit about what exactly a technical artist does, how he got to where he is today, and to give some advice on the potential merits of going to grad school to get a job in games. What we got was a hearty helping of the above with the welcome addition of some relatable stories of career struggles, tales of time spent in Japan teaching English, and a bit of affirmation for anyone struggling to break into an industry they love.What you won't hear is anything about the recent headlines regarding Activision Blizzard. We'll save that for another episode, and we think Bruce's insights are just what the doctor ordered right now - no controversy required.Please, enjoy.Listen to Beach Girl on Spotify Check out edouggieart on Etsy Check out even more edouggieart on InstagramCheck out Bruce Evans at https://twitter.com/brucemevans

How journalism has been impacted by the growth of the public relations industry, as well as the emergence of social media.

The importance of understanding how Asians are interacting with each other - not just DC thinktank perspectives. The culture shock of returning to the UK after many years abroad. Brexit and Britain's importation of the American culture wars. What it means if someone in the UK compares you to Marmite. Listening, and watching recommendations from: Andrew In Our Time (BBC podcast) Invisible China, by Scott Rozelle and Natalie Hell Fred Asia Matters, of course!
