Profile! I'll never be featured on this Podcast...

This podcast is called 上田の仕事人名鑑　プロファイル! Basically, the host will go out somewhere in Japan to find hardcore Japanese people working. I don’t mean soft cushy desk jobs, I mean 70 year old men who jump into chest-deep waters with a basket rake tied around their waist and scrape the ground for clams (あさり). It’s good stuff. You get to learn Japanese and Japanese culture at the same time. Fabulous.

One confusing thing here. When I first started subscribing to this podcast it was called ココが知りたい！ It featured a lady who would just go explore some places in Japan and interview people to learn about what they did or about the place that she was visiting.

Then one day, the same podcast thread suddenly stopped getting ココが知りたい！ and flipped to this 上田の仕事人名鑑　プロファイル. Now it seems that I can’t find ココが知りたい anywhere on the store. I guess it was replaced by プロファイル。Too bad! I think you can still find the ココが知りたい episodes though if you dig back in the links to the podcast files themselves.

Here is a link to the プロフィル！ Video Podcast on the iTunes Store.

Here is a link where you can grab the individual files from the video podcast.

Be sure to check out the Manyoushuu Podcast Recommendation, and Nikkei Trendy Podcast Recommendation from the other posts in this series!

Enjoy!
