Japan WUT? Podcast 20 "AbeNoMaskeraid"



The 20th episode of Japan WUT? “AbeNoMaskeraid” is now available for listening and/or download.
We’re both a bit talked out on COVID19 so, after some great music by Icon Girl Pistols and RedBedRock, we instead turn to the local music scene and focus on the efforts to save some music establishments (Livehouse Anga) while lamenting the closure of others (Gamuso)

We then speak to New Jersey music producer, Joey Popa, and get his insights into how musicians in general are coping in the US. We discuss using online platforms as a way to put on shows and raise money.

All this, plus a new segment, google accents, and free hospital masks!
