Learn Japanese at JapanesePod101.com! You asked for it, so here it is! Our first stab at looking at unravelling the mystery of the short intro gags at the beginning of each podcast. We’ve recorded more than 100 different intros to date and people have been asking us about them ever since. Naomi and Marky and Yūki sit down to talk about 11 hand picked intros and talk about what’s going on in there. You’ll be surprised how much cultural background goes into a 30 second (or less clip). After listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com and be sure to leave us a post!
