Moon Creative Lab Inc., a Palo Alto and Tokyo-based venture studio of Mitsui & Co., has announced the release of the latest episode of its audio educational series 'Chodo Ii Kaigi | Aida' on its VOOX platform.

The podcast is hosted by two experts with distinct backgrounds: Yosuke Horikoshi, a project researcher at the University of Tokyo specializing in philosophical dialogue, and Hikaru Kashida, Chief Analytics Officer at Japan's Digital Agency. Together, they delve into the 'betweenness' (Aida) of world matters—things that cannot be easily categorized as black or white. Their cross-talk aims to generate unpredictable chemical reactions and provide listeners with fresh perspectives.

In Episode 34, titled 'Rain | Aida | Samidare *The Problem of Too Few Translators,' the discussion covers a wide range of topics, including: - The positioning of 'Philosophical Consulting' and its application in business development. - Philosophy and ethics that avoid being merely 'excuse-like.' - The fascination of administrative terminology and how language reflects organizational culture. - Concepts of 'Outside vs. Inside' and the gap between government and the private sector.

VOOX is a specialized audio medium for learning, delivering practical knowledge from leading figures in 10-minute segments. Each series consists of six episodes. Currently offering over 700 episodes, VOOX makes its new series available for free for the first two weeks after release.
