Hello. We're Pokya. We make podcasts.

Pokya.jp Pokya was established in the winter of 2008-2009. Our mission is simple: to produce Japan-themed pocasts for the English speaking community.

Since the completion of our hugely successful series 1 of Japan Podshow we now have one main podcast in production: Making it in Japan, with new episodes coming out approximately every two weeks.

We also release occasional video podcasts in our Japan Techshow feed.

Later, we will be expanding our range of podcasts to include themes such as photography, architecture, and the environment - all relating to Japan.

We also make one-off specials for individuals and businesses.

For latest news from Pokya, please see our blog

Making it in Japan

Catering for a more 'mature' audience, Making it in Japan showcases the achievements of English-speaking entrepreneurs and artists. In our interviews we hear how they have built businesses or carried out artistic projects, learn of the challenges specific to Japan that they faced along the way (and how these were overcome), and find out what they would tell others who are thinking of pursuing careers in related fields.
