With the fifth anniversary re-issue of episode 1 less than a week away, I thought I ought to listen back to the first Tokyo Calling recordings. It took some doing to track down the old files. Once found, I loaded the first dozen or so episodes on the iPod Touch with the intention of listening back during a Monday's idle moments. Frankly, the experience of revisiting words spoken 5 years earlier is a bit unnerving. Hopefully there is some benefit in reconnecting with the past in this manner.
Click the magic button for some muddled thoughts on the Listening Back:

Also included with the recording is an audio memo sent in by Bob Sprankle. Bob is a grade-school teacher and long-time podcaster from the United States. As the 100th episode of his Bit by Bit podcast approaches, he too has been revisiting where and how his podcasting journey began. He's invited me to join him for a recorded conversation examining some of the matters I've been grappling with in my own journey. I am grateful for this invitation and eagerly look forward to the chance share the conversation.
UPDATE: Bob posted his 100th episode of Bit by Bit on October 24. In addition to our recorded interview, Bob also shares reflective conversations he's recorded with Wes and his two Seedlings Podcast cohosts: Cheryl and Alice.

Scott,
I've always felt that each thing you record contains at least one special gift for me. Interestingly, when I listen to your recordings at a later date the gift is often different.
The gift in this recording? The mention of "critical thought", probably the first time I've heard someone use the term for more than 12 months...

How are you going to record the conversation with Bobsprankle? Over what system?
Have you ever tried 'blogtalkradio'; you can have people calling in... But it is more expensive to host if you don't live in the US; it all happens over the phone and the server is in New York.
I dream to hav>e live conversations over the Internet, live!...
