Untitled. Thoughts Over Coffee

About Untitled. Thoughts Over Coffee

Hi, I'm Akram, and I host this podcast. As the name suggests, I sit down with my guests over coffee, or any drink they prefer, and let the conversation flow naturally. I love listening to what people have to say, which is why I'm meeting individuals from all over the world. My guests range from friends to random people I encounter on the street, inviting them to share their stories over a cup of coffee. If you're interested in hearing diverse perspectives on life, especially life in Japan, tune in and subscribe to the podcast.
