In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
A new Japanese emperor means the continuation of a centuries-old tradition, with a modern twist: the new emperor and empress haven’t produced a son to inherit the throne. Hoover fellow Michael Auslin, host of the “Pacific Century” podcast, explains the differences between the monarchy in Tokyo and the one in Buckingham Palace.

Interesting podcast. I was born in Japan so have always had an interest in the country but learned a lot about the royal dynasty. Just a suggestion – if you had wanted to attract more attention you should have called it “When the Emperor Gave Up His Concubines.”
Fascinating. I listen to Area 45 all of the time, and found this among the best so far.
