TC 121 - A Bit of Context
(click the magic button to hear or download the 38 minute episode) Let me know if show notes are required. It seems that having 'em would run counter to what this Free Association thing I'm trying to put together is all about. But I'm willing to consider alternative views.

TC 120 - Hitting the Sweet Spot
(click the magic button to hear or download the 30 minute episode) This one-hundred-twentieth episode came unexpectedly on a Sunday afternoon at home. Show notes don't really seem to make sense for this one as it's pretty self-explanatory. Curious listeners might be interested in tracking down the Warren Ellis blog post referenced at the close of the episode which was prompted by a recent report about some science stuff from the BBC....

TC 119 - For the record...
(click the magic button to hear or download the 9 minute episode) It seems that this is the time of year when this podcast always appears to crash and burn. Over the past three years a number of folks had declared an end to Tokyo Calling through the silent weeks of late May, June and July. Some might even have felt that the pattern was beginning to repeat itself this year. The point of this short little recording is to declare that nothing could be further from the truth. Though, the frequen...

TC 118 - Always check, it might be mate
(click the magic button to hear or download the 48 minute episode) Well, it's done. It was a fun, challenging and exciting process to put this one together. This is an example of the direction I'd like to take the Tokyo Calling podcast (what am I signing myself on to do?) - there are other ideas in the works as well. I'm not quite sure how to describe this one. The phrase "audio melange" came up in the Twitter this past week. If you have any ideas about what to call this sort of thing (bes...

TC 117 Solid Golden Week
(click the magic button to hear or download the 33 minute episode) It looks like Japan's First Podcast will be coming through TalkShoe for the foreseeable future. Free hosting that actually returns a small sum compared to paid hosting leaves no choice. This is especially the case considering some decisions I've made about future directions for this podcast. All the details are laid out in a semi-coherent form in the later half of the episode. In the first half is the Kodomonohi fukubiki sto...

TC 116 - By the way . . .
(click the magic button to hear or download the 19 minute episode) I decided to wrap up the week with one more bit of audio. This didn't work so well over the TalkShoe because of the low quality of the recording. I was surrounded by noise and wind as I made the walk from Iidabashi to Suidobashi. Hopefully, there's enough here to warrant putting it out as an episode....

On the way there, I recorded some random thoughts about frowning salarymen, girl scouts, teaching matters, and this Wednesday's Calling Tokyo Calling.

I Heartily Endorse This... (ep01)
(click the magic button to hear or download the podcast) A busy week has prevented me from producing either a Tokyo Calling or My Ears to Your Ears episode - though offerings for both are in the works. Fortunately the work I've been doing has allowed me to listen to music. A couple of music podcasts I've recently come across soothed my jagged nerves through this arduous process. The two podcasts are recent additions to the essential NeoJaponisme blog. After listening to both of them a half...

My Ears to Your Ears episode 01 - I Remember Seeing Orson Welles on TV
After too many months of dormancy, the ZionRadio Padcast feed delivered three tasty 70 minute mp3s to iTunes this morning. I listened to a hypnotizing episode entitled "music a fe rule" throughout the various stages of my commute during the day. The idea for this audio miniature occurred while listening to twisting-sweep-in-a-swamp sort of jam at the 49 minute mark whilst thinking about Orson Welles on the way home after a long day in the classroom. Sadly, the ZionRadio website seems a bit ou...

Wish I could blame the poor sound of this 24 minute echo-chamber-cast on the pain killers from my recent injury. In fact, some dude giving a talk on podcasting at a recent Tokyo Mac Users Group (RINGO) meeting recommended using a bit of reverb when recording. He said it would add a little something. Unfortunately, I recorded with some of it instead of adding it after the fact. My fear is that this is unlistenable.

As I'm feeling a bit under the weather and am rushing to meet a couple of deadlines, the episode I had intended for 102 could not get produced this week. Instead, I blushingly offer you this 24 minute tumeric-laced-recording. I really never intended it to last more than a few minutes - just to say that there wouldn't be an episode this week is really all I meant to do. But that wasn't to be. I seemed to shift into an unknown over-drive gear once the power-drink kicked in. Before I knew what ...
