Last week AND this week on the Krewe of Japan Podcast…
Sometimes life catches up with you, but thank goodness we were prepared for that! Like a long running anime series with bonus filler content, the Krewe had a couple aces up their sleeve, a la Rapid Fire Question Challenges! Last week, we dropped the Rapid Fire Challenge featuring our Episode 10 guest, MattVsJapan. This week, we are dropping the Rapid Fire Challenge featuring one of our Episode 7 guests, Bradley Trenery. After each episode’s Rapid Fire Challenge concludes, make sure you stick around until the end as we preview an upcoming episode that will kick off a series about the New Orleans-Japan Music Connection. Stay tuned for more on that in the coming weeks!
The Krewe of Japan Podcast is a weekly episodic podcast sponsored by the Japan Society of New Orleans. Check them out every Friday afternoon around noon CST on Apple, Google, Spotify, Amazon, and Stitcher. Want to share your experiences with the Krewe?
