This week we've been enjoying some time in our North Carolina hometowns with family and friends - it got us thinking about the character mascots that some towns and regions have in Japan. These laid-back characters are called "Yuru-kyara" (ゆるキャラ) and advertise the specialties and attractions that an area is known for.  What would the Yuru-kyara be like in our hometowns?  We also talk about the Yuru Grand Prix, which was a huge mascot convention, and describe the two endearing mascots that tied for last place. Listen to the end of every episode to hear our Japanese "words-of-the-week," and head to @ramblingramsbothams on Instagram to see behind-the-scenes photos.Have a question or idea?
