NUFS Podcast 051



Merry Christmas to all from the NUFS Podcast!! To celebrate this most festive of holidays, the NUFS Podcast this week explores the question: "If Japan's not a Christian country, why do they celebrate Christmas?" Hear what Nihonjin and foreigners alike have to say about that!


Renae Muller from the "Oz Style" corner bids us a final farewell -- before she leaves for Australia, she's asking her friends at the International House how they plan to spend their Christmas & New Year's holiday.


And finally, Yukko & Kayoko (with some big help from Shoko) report on a survey of 100 NUFS women that examines their attitudes toward work. Why do Japanese women face discrimination from companies when they're looking for a job? They wonder if women themselves share any of the responsibility for the discrimination they experience.

Hi there! I just wanted to say that I think the NUFS podcast is fantastic. Tom Kenny and every involved should be applauded. The URL for the podcast is on my Extensive Listening and Reading syllabus as a resource for students. Keep up the great work! Sincerely,
