About this listen

Welcome to The J-Pops, the only podcast with J-pop in the title that gives you a 100% no J-pop guarantee. The J-Pops are Mark and Justin, two dads (pops) living in Japan (J). They both hail from the US, and this podcast covers their attempts at parenting abroad. Like all parents, they have questions, and in this podcast they share the information and advice that they came up with. They also talk about the struggles they face in their quest to raise children in a foreign land.

    Ep 80 - Childcare Leave
    Mar 17 2024

    Months 6, 11, 23, 24, & pregnancy week 24. This week Justin is still in America, but has deigned to join Mark & Joe to discuss the merits and further merits of the Japanese childcare leave system, which is not something Joe has experienced. There's all the usual favourites, plus the bits you don't like very much. Watch out for a made-up Dad Joke from Joe, you can tell which one it is from Mark's reaction. As usual, please send any questions or comments to us by email at info@thejpops.com.
