While this episode is called “TOTALLY Tokyo”, we did in fact make some forays out of that city, and it covers many of the experiences we had, including the 8 shrines and temples that we visited, the Hakone Golden Course (or Route), Tokyo Disney theme parks, and much much more! That said, I highly suggest listening to Geek Saga Podcast episode 126 “Best Laid Japlans” prior to checking this one out 🙂

In regard to this particular episode’s name – just to be clear it is a silly play on words, specifically my Best Laid PLANS for JAPAN. This is just part 1 of what will be a 2-part story about my first time in Japan, covering some insight into my trip planning (both in general and for Japan specifically), transportation experiences, where we stayed and what we ate (and drank!).

Moderated by Chelsea Darouse and featuring myself, Marcie Aaron, and Marisa Wolf, this panel was a general fan discussion of the Red Rising Saga by Pierce Brown. We talked fave characters, fave book in the series so far, whether we prefer Victra over Mustang, and of course, how much MOST of us hate EFFING LYSANDER.

(While some minor sound editing was done to make the original recording somewhat easier on the ears, please keep in mind that this was recorded live and therefore the sound quality is uneven at best.)
