Tokyo Calling Episode 093

A wide range of topics worked their way in to this 52 minute crazy-quilt-cast. Things that I've been listening to and watching on the net comprise the bulk of the episode. Also included are responses to a couple of frequent listeners and a couple of songs from the Tokyo Calling Singers.

Thanks for listening!!

2007 Nagoya Basho Day 11 Sumo Update

Who knows? It felt so good to record this 11 minute leader-board report that I might just have to dust off the old Sumo-Cast feed one of these days.

Thanks to San Nakji for prodding me to talk about sumo again. It really is an incredible sport. And this particular tournament looks like it will go down to the final match on the final day to determine the champion!

As mentioned on this recording, there is actually a live video feed of the action provided by the Nipon Sumo Kokkai. Check it out if you are near a computer and are awake between 16:00 and 18:00 JST. The video quality isn't great but if you're not in Japan and don't have access to the NHK satellite programming, it's the only game in town.

And finally, don't forget Calling Tokyo Calling Episode 11. We'd love to have you join us over at Talkshoe on Friday July 20 at 9:00 EST / 22:00 JST.

071607 Update and Announce

This 13 minute announcement features a brief review of Tokyo Calling related stuff from the past week. Calling Tokyo Calling seems to be getting sorted out, little by little. The day may yet come when it gets added back to the regular feed. Any strong thoughts one way or another on that?

For the time being, to hear recent installments, visit the CTC page on the TalkShoe site. While there, you can listen to or download all past recordings or subscribe to an RSS feed just for CTC.

A new loop will be placed on TCTV on Monday July 16th. Many thanks to Mark from Radio Errols for sharing a video clip from the Streets of Shinjuku. The request for video material is still out there if anyone cares to have something featured on TCTV. Leave a comment or send an email for more information.

Episode 93 is still under development. Hopefully, it will be released later this week.

Thanks for listening.

070807 Update and Announce

This quick 15 minute announcement was recorded live on Talkshoe. In it, I recapped the past CTC #8 from this past Friday night and talked about what's ahead for TCTV.

If you'd like to listen to the nearly hour-long #8 CTC you'll have to get it from the TalkShoe site. There were quite a few worthwhile moments that got recorded. There was also a lot of incoherent gibberish and inattentive responses from the exhausted host.

Ideally, I'd like to follow Matt's suggestion and produce an excerpt from each CTC as a podcast for the regular Tokyo Calling Feed. Alternatively, also from Matt, I might add the feed URL for CTC on Talkshoe to the Tokyo Calling blog for those who might be interested.

As for TCTV, a new loop of archived tc_vlog episodes has been programmed. It also includes a short bit I shot at Akihabara today. In it and in this podcast episode, I invite one and all to send in video. The hope being that it might be able to use TCTV to showcase work that you'd like to share with the tc listeners and viewers.

Tokyo Calling Episode 092

tc092

This 15 minute jack-hammer-cast was recorded during a short walk from Suidobashi to Korakuen through the Tokyo Dome City complex. Between loud bursts of noise from nearly every direction, I managed to report on my lack of progress with work which has been caused in part by a new project called Tokyo Calling TV.

In fact, a link to tctv has been added to the thin navigation bar at the top of the page. Feel free to check it out (Flash 9 is required), though the current pickings are slim.

Eventually the plan will be to simulcast the Friday Tokyo Calling Episodes through Talkshoe and Mogulus. Should be a load of laughs.
