Julien Clancy likes stories that are deeply personal, sometimes funny, sometimes sad but always engaging. Originally from Ireland, he has moved to Japan for a year to try teaching English and to record a radio series for RTE Radio on other Irish emigrants who've also made a life for themselves here in Japan. This includes characters like the Irish sumo wrestler in Tokyo, the fake wedding priest living near Osaka and an incredible animal lover from Okinawa who helps the four legged friends of Tohoku.
