[Unexpected Heroes]

Guest: H.E. Hiroshi Suzuki, Ambassador of Japan to India

Our podcast “Unexpected Heroes” aims to interview interesting people in India and Japan, and beyond. A hero is “a person who is admired by many people for doing something brave or good”, and thus an “unexpected hero” therefore means someone who is a hero who was “not expected to be one, unforeseen, or a surprising one.”

We seek to find and interview these heroes, who are interesting people from India and Japan. Some of our guests may be living in Japan or India, or Japanese living in India, or Indians living in Japan, or even Japanese or Indians living elsewhere around the world.

We wish to hear each Unexpected Heroes’ stories, and to deliver interesting insights to people around the world.

This podcast will be available on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts and shall be in English. We are considering Hindi and Japanese versions of the podcasts in due course.
