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.

TC 115 - Waxen Grimaces in the Morning
(click the magic button to hear or download the 33 minute episode)
Decided to enjoy a leisurely walk to campus this Monday morning rather than transfer to another hot and crowded subway car. On the way there, I recorded some random thoughts about frowning salarymen, girl scouts, teaching matters, and this Wednesday's Calling Tokyo Calling.

TC 114 - Back to School Special
(click the magic button to hear or download the 30 minute episode)
Follow Japan's First Podcaster as he returns to teaching duties for another school year. From Office 2007 to peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on the way to the Meat Grinder, from a muscle-bound Lothario and his wingman to a university administrator with a stack of student complaints - the only sane way to cope is to Do Easy (DE).

Grateful, Guilty & Gobsmacked

The best part of this TalkShoe cast took place after the recording ended. Thanks to Aaron, Randulo, Mafuchan, Zaren and others for a fun and lively conversation.
In the recording, I apologized for and tried to explain the recent lack of podcast episodes. Next a big thank you was sent out to some generous listeners. There's also an awkward moment where I mentioned some recent examples of how my own prejudices and misconceptions have been made clear. And somehow there's a connection to the TED Talks.
And finally, I give the highest possible recommendation for anyone with half-a-mind and a pair-of-ears to listen to The Black Tie Martini Club Oddcast.
Also mentioned, and very much worth checking out is the SLPN.
