# Craig Mod's Appearance on the Tim Ferriss Show [Craig Mod — The Real Japan, Cheap Apartments in Tokyo, Productive Side Quests, Creative Retreats, Buying Future Freedom, and Being Possessed by Spirits (#802)](https://tim.blog/2025/03/27/craig-mod/) [Craig Mod Returns — Epic Walks in Japan, The Art of Slowness, Digital Detox, Publishing “Impossible” Books, and Choosing Beauty Over Scale (#803)](https://tim.blog/2025/03/28/craig-mod-returns/) I finished the 4:30~ hours yesterday, tears welling in my eyes on the way to pick up my kid. These are some of the best podcasting hours I have ever heard; a rich, deep, engaging conversation. I know Craig's advice was to listen on 2x, but that feels contradictory to Craig's whole being of being sucked into the world and *engaging* with it. This conversation deserves all its time and space. <div class=iframe-container> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/B87ATe3Bxh8" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div> <div class=iframe-container> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/d3dPRkyNbj8" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div>
