[Age 45, Launching a New Show] How Podcast Soken Pushed Me to Become a Tanka Poet

Taking on a new form for the show.

Getting my message read and receiving thoughtful feedback at Podcast Soken became the biggest push for creating this new show. The personality, who has been delivering their entire life through 'Maze Gohan Radio,' is now launching a sub-channel titled 'Souda, Kajin ni Narou.' I reveal the mindset that led me to call myself a poet, despite having started writing Tanka only a few days ago.

An attempt to express life's colors in thirty-one syllables.

If 'Maze Gohan Radio' is a 'large platter where I mix my life and talk,' I want this new show to be like a 'small saucer that captures passing insights from daily life in thirty-one syllables.' My attitude at 45 as I continue to take on challenges is even expressed through the unique goal of becoming the 'pan-fried gyoza of the Tanka world,' showing the excitement of venturing into something new. There is much more to the conversation, so please be sure to listen to the full episode.
