A wild Rapid Fire Question Challenge appears! Season 3's 1st RFQC actually is a throwback to a couple Season 1 guests whose rapid fires never got released. The first challenger is Jennifer O'Donnell, translator & localizer who joined us for Season 1 Episode 15 called "Careers in Japanese: Translation & Localization". In that episode, we explored how to leverage Japanese language study into a career in translation and a peek behind the industry's curtain. After Round 1 finished, Megan DeVille stepped up onto the RFQ Challenge stage. Megan was our guest on Season 1 Episode 17 entitled "Accepted for JET Program... Now What?!". Megan recalls her JET Program application process, as well as talks about her experiences mentoring (and interviewing) prospective JET applicants. A fun mini-episode to hold us over until next week's episode on food-based travel, featuring an awesome conversation with Shinichi of the popular YouTube channel, TabiEats!
