About Kanda Podsayings
Kanda Podsayings is series of very short 30-second daily podcasts in Japanese about business tips and strategies. All the recordings are quotations of key phrases from a free daily newsletter, Kanda Goroku 365 Nichi (365 Days of Kanda's sayings), published by Mr. Masanori Kanda who sells more than 1,000,000 copies to Japan-based professionals, especially small business owners and entrepreneurs.
Being based in Japan ourselves, some of us have to commute to work every day, on jam-packed commuter trains being bombarded with tabloid and morally controversial visual ads hanging from the ceilings. Our initial idea is to podcast material which is short, thought-provoking and also educational for commuters, offering material which provides a far richer and stimulating experience than those provided by these advertisements.
Each episode will be delivered with a transcript which can be read on either a PC or MP3 player. This means that these podcasts/transcript can also be used as material for Japanese language learners.
