About this listen

For the first ever in depth episode of the Podcast, Mat and Devin take a closer look at the phenomenon of Akiya - empty houses. A growing phenomenon in Japan and one that has started to gain some international recognition, this week we dig down into what exactly is an Akiya, why there are so many of them and why they are increasing. We also take a look at some of the things being done to address the issue, as well as a tentative prognosis for the future. Our very first full length episode, so go easy on us!
