"30days Room to Begin -SAION HOUSE-" is a real-time documentary podcast rooted in Naha, Okinawa, chronicling 30-day artist-in-residence stays at Saion House, a monthly-stay space blending "lodging" and "living." Hosted by Kosuke Shibata (Odol LLC.), the series captures intimate conversations, emotional reflections, and creative processes of visiting artists—such as filmmaker Taichi Sunagawa—as they reconnect with place, identity, and craft. Episodes combine podcast dialogue with companion video works, offering a hybrid audio-visual storytelling format that explores themes of migration, belonging, local culture, and artistic reinvention. The show appeals to listeners interested in slow travel, creative residencies, Okinawan culture, and personal transformation through place-based experiences. Beyond artist stories, the podcast also shares business updates on the "30days GLOCAL CHANGE Program," an initiative connecting global talent with regional Japanese companies, adding a subtle entrepreneurial and community-development dimension. Its reflective tone, documentary style, and focus on human connection make it distinctive among arts and travel podcasts, appealing to creatives, digital nomads, and those curious about regional revitalization in Japan.
