Welcome to episode twenty-five of our wonderfully awesome comedy and history podcast, Where You're From! Brought to you by husband and wife team, Max and Hitomi.

Each episode, British born Max, and Filipino Japanese Hitomi, will talk about each others cultural history. It's a whole lot of interesting education and comedy, and hopefully only a pinch of domestic violence.

This weeks episode features the ever silly Brit fool, Max. The weather is hot and sticky folks, the summer heat has hit Japan like a brick wall. How do people combat the drippy sweat sweat of summer in Japan? They go to summer festivals, drink, eat and be merry! It's also one of our favourite things to do, so let Max tell you all about the history and culture of the Japanese natsu matsuri.

It's a two parter folks as there's a lot to talk about! So sit back, grab a summer cocktail and relax!

Let's history!

***New episode every Friday***

Max became a sound engineer from episode 14, so much better audio quality starting from that episode. If you're new here and looking for a good episode to start on, episode 14 is a good place to start.
