Dani invites special guest Temma onto the show to talk about his experiences as a Japanese person growing up in England, before eventually moving back to Japan as an adult. After that, they talk at length about the history of the ancient and traditional game of go, from its inception in China 2,500 years ago up to the recent triumph of AlphaGo against current-day professional players.
