Archive for the ‘Podcasts’ CategoryUPDATE 11/07: The volume has been lowered When do you know when you have reached the time in your life when you can say, “This is it. This is my life”? This as well as the future of NOVA teachers teaching for food, my son and his farting antics and my first strange moment in Japan. Weather News Current Events Main Topic Strange Moments Music by The Yoshida Brothers - Click Tracks 12 PART 2 - 2nd Annual Storytelling Listen to this year’s old time radio spook story. A demon talks about a possession to boost ratings. His description of a possession are interesting to say the least. And the Cameron Diaz plugs are hilarious. Maybe the reader is possessed also. I finish with a song by A Different Sun entitled Lab Rat. Beware! This reading is intended for mature audiences with a somewhat twisted lease on life. HAPPY HALOWEEEEE! PART 1 Can’t have a Halloween podcast without something creepy. This week I talk about NOVA going bankrupt and what it is NOVA teachers can do to get them the hell out of dodge without burying themselves so deep they can’t leave the country. Weather News Current Events Main Topic I’m sooo happy someone is actually commenting on my choice of using the name “Gaijin.” Is Gaijin really a bad word? Should Japanese feel bad about calling foreigners “gaijin?” Ridiculous. Those who come to Japan think this country is maybe the last first world economy with its shit together. Calling us gaijin just means we are people from another country. You could call us pricks, assholes, murderers or bombers but the fact is…we want to know Japan just as much as you want to know the rest of the world. If a Japanese go to a party with 100 people and there are 3 foreigners, the next day when you are talking about your night, do you say, “Hey Yuki, that gaijin you were kissing…or, I’m sorry, that uh uh uh guy with the mustache…or maybe the big belly.” What do you say? We’re gaijin and have no problem with it. Except it. We both live on an island. There are more of you than us. Let’s just be able to communicate and enjoy what we both have to offer. Music by The Yoshida Brothers Is a gaijin really talking and playing in a temple? Listen. You’ll never meet another foreigner who is able to walk into a temple and convince monks to let him play whatever he wants. Welcome to my crazy world.
