I'm looking for podcast recommendations about Japan.

Can either be individual podcast episodes or podcast series

Want to learn more about the history of Japan and especially interested in things that are particularly entertaining or little known stories as opposed to more history class style podcasts. I also prefer podcasts highlighting individual people or incidents rather than broad overviews of a time or region.

Think things with the tone like The Dollop. Can be about true history or more things like legends. Preferably older imperial Japan rather than WW2, unless there's something really worthwhile you want to recommend.

We're visiting in a few months and want to learn some more history and stories.

I live near Minneapolis. I'm looking to buy a hot tub and looking for recos:

- Seats 5-6

- Stands up to MN winters (will be outdoors)

- from a brand that doesn't generally require major repairs within the first 5-10 years (with good maintenance of course)

- comfortable seating and lots of jets

- under $10k not on sale (planning to buy during a sale)

- preferably from a place that may do trade ins and haul away old hot tubs

Looking for recommendations of brand and model please!
