Viewing it here on the website will not let it display in its full size.<br><br> If you like this format, please let me know. I would love to get some feedback on it. This type of video podcast is very fun to put together and doesn’t take much time. I’m using what I’ve learned from Stuart Isset’s piece I <a href="https://www.findingjapan.com/2007/04/25/187/">featured</a> back in April.<br>
