Saku Is In The USA: Please Explain!

Saku Is In The USA: Please Explain! is a comedy podcast hosted by Japanese stand-up comedian Saku Yanagawa, based in Chicago.

After more than 10 years in the U.S., Saku still doesn’t quite understand America — so he invites guests to help him figure it out.

Through humor and casual standing conversations, the show explores American culture, language, and everyday life from an outsider’s point of view.

Recorded at the Laugh Factory in Chicago and presented by Aiya, the authentic matcha company.
New episodes weekly.
