Need more to your daily podcast fix? Then check out TPR for the latest on Japan.  Here is a blurb taken from the website:  “Trans-Pacific Radio (太平洋横断放送) is an attempt at something akin to a podcast radio station. Based in Tokyo, Japan and anchored by Seijigiri (政治斬り), a regular review and analysis of Japanese and East Asian news and politics, and BizCast Japan, a review and analysis of the business and economy of Japan, TPR produces podcasts in as many styles and on as many subjects as suits its fancy.”

Trans-Pacific Radio offers streaming audio and podcasts in English from Tokyo, Japan. In addition to their articles, they also stream five regular audio programs:

1.  TPR News: The latest news from Japan in English

2.  Seijigiri: An in-depth look at Japanese politics

3.  BizCast Japan: A window into business in Japan

4.  Shasetsu: Shasetsu means ‘editorial’ in Japanese

5.  TPR Spotlight: A focus on bigger issues
