The strange logic behind Japan's constant media scandalsold
About this episode
Meet Igor, an author and Japanese media scholar from Ambis University in Prague, who sits down to talk to us about Japan's history of media scandals.
He talks about the social psychology behind scapegoating, the public desire for retribution, and how society's elites can play the game to their own advantage.
