Tokyo Calling Episode 106

tc106

Recorded on my way to and from a Saturday make-up lesson at the science university, this 30 minute he's-at-it-again-cast features thoughts on my second daughter's recent attempt to enter a national elementary school and how that effort impacted our family. Also included is a debriefing on the lessons in which I showed and asked the engineering and business management students to write about some holiday videos I'd recently found online.

The most popular video among the students seemed to an excerpt from the Robot Chicken Christmas special which features a send-up of DragonBall Z (note: the linked-to video is of a mature theme).

Unfortunately, I didn't have the energy include the TCTC segment I mentioned during the cast. That will have to wait until the next episode. At the current rate the podcast is going, that should be sooner rather than later.

As always, thanks for listening!!

Tokyo Calling Episode 105

Hoping that the third time is a charm, this 30 minute setting-the-record-straight-cast features recap, explanation, and examination of topics that were less than fully covered in the two prior episodes.

Tokyo Calling Episode 104

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.

In the final five minutes I explain the links below to my Mother's new online endeavor. Please pay her a visit and tell her Tokyo Calling sent you, if your so inclined.
