For the final episode of this season of VIJS, we bring you a bumper interview with the President of the British Association for Japanese Studies - and therefore the person ultimately responsible for this podcast's existence(!) - Dr Christopher Hood, Reader in Japanese Studies at Cardiff University.

Anna and Matt talk to Dr Hood about his life in Japanese Studies: how he got here, why he chose Japanese Studies, and how he balances his roles at Cardiff and BAJS with his personal life and his second life as an author of novels.

You can find out more information about Dr Hood's work and his writing at his personal website.

Thank you for listening, and we hope to be back on your podcast feeds in the future!
