Hi Blog. Trans-Pacific Radio has just released another interview, with a mix of the light and heavier:<\/p>\n

===============================
\nTPR Spotlight: Debito Arudou on the Foreign Labor Market (& Duran Duran), Part 1 of 2
\nFiled under: Trans-Pacific Radio, TPR Spotlight
\nPosted by DeOrio at 1:34 pm on Tuesday, August 7, 2007<\/p>\n

As well-known as he is, not many people know that human rights activist Debito Arudou is as passionate about Duran Duran as he is about anything.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry, though – in this interview Debito and Ken Worsley discuss the foreign labor market in Japan – where it\u2019s united, where it\u2019s fractious, and where it still needs help – as well as what is being done to improve conditions and opportunities for foreign workers, and what needs to be done in the future. This is an important issue that relates to Japan\u2019s economic future, and immigration policy (or reform) still seems untouchable within the nation\u2019s political discourse. Why is this so?<\/b>
