‘The Week’ Podcast #1: The Debate on Nuclear Energy, Cherry Blossoms and AI Senbei

There is a lot going on in the world, and many don’t have time to keep up with reading the latest news every day, yet want to stay informed.

You are the reason JAPAN Forward is launching The Week — a podcast for busy people who want to keep abreast of Japan’s culture, politics, business, economy and research worlds. Hosted by Arielle Busetto.

In our first episode we discuss the debate on nuclear energy, and restarting Japan’s nuclear plants, the cherry blossom season, COVID-19, and even AI designed senbei crackers. Find the list of articles for The Week ending April 8, below.
