KOBILS podcast

How much time do Japanese teenagers really spend on their phones? Our afterschool junior high class members explore average screen time for students in their class here at KOBILS vs. average time for their friends at their regular schools. Results may surprise… or not! Have a listen and find out!

In this episode, we interview Michael Blyth, the UK Consul General, and explore the world of diplomacy, from international relations to what life is really like working between countries. After recording our very first live interview last episode, we’ve been busy learning, experimenting, and improving our podcast setup. You might notice the sound is a little clearer this time. Is it perfect yet? Not quite, but we’re practicing what we preach and learning as we go! At KOBILS, learning meets life, and this podcast is part of that journey. We are full of curiosity, questions, and making plenty of discoveries along the way. Special thanks to Mr Michael Blyth.        

In this episode, our students interview Michael Blyth, the UK Consul General, and discuss his work, international relations, and life in diplomacy. After our first live interview in the previous episode, we worked on improving our recording setup, and as you can probably hear, the audio quality is already better this time! Is it perfect? No. But we’re still learning as we go, and aiming to make improvements after every episode! Stay tuned, there’s more to come!
