Episode 25 (S2E7) - Overtime （残業）

Hi all,
This week I'm back to discuss something Japan is quite notorious for: overtime. In this episode, I discuss my experience observing overtime in Japan and weave in corroborating evidence from articles. Essentially, today's episode will be the first main story/current event combination episode. In addition to overtime, I talk about something I believe perpetuates the overtime in Japan: inefficiency in the workplace. I'm getting this episode out a little late again, but I've had to rerecord some segments here and there since I wanted to make sure I get this episode right - I hope you enjoy listening. As always, Per Aspera Ad Astra!
