Japan Morning Commute

A bit more normal, and a bit less badly edited. Actually, not edited at all. I'm walking here!

It's a long one, and it takes you to Nagoya and back, then back in time in search of a little black rabbit. there's a long, sprawling visit to a flea market during which I forgot I was recording. Believe me, I deleted HOURS of me shuffling around silently. YOU'RE WELCOME!

Episode 26 - Week 6: END OF SEASON ONE!

No more commutes for a while! I'll be back for some mid-term specials, but for now, it's over and out. It's a bike episode, and I'm still unwell, so super fun. Expect accents!

Episode 25: Week 6:

It's a driving one. Okay, the heavy weekend has caught up with me and I'm not in good fettle. Luckily I was accosted by a colleague and we chatted about Tom Waits, which was nice. Other than that there's trouser complaints, smelly rosemary, and reduced enthusiasm.

Episode 24 - Week 6:

A day late! How remiss! Sorry, I know you've been suffering. It's a walking one, but don't worry, tomorrow is a driving one.

Episode 23 - Week 6:

A walking episode, split into two parts. It was a busy weekend, with an unhealthy amount of not-water drinking. So lacklustre is an appropriate word to describe today's episode, but you can't win 'em all*!

*any of them

Episode 22: Week 5

Whoops! Big mistake. I feel very not very good today, so lacklustre is an understatement. You get the whole spectrum in a daily podcast!

Episode 21: Week 5:

Perhaps in honour of the passing of chief twitcher Bill Odie, one of the most beautiful birds I've ever seen made an appearance today. Also making their debut were cat gangs, cicadas of course, and a big fish 'n friends. It is a slightly extended episode because of the hybrid 'drive:walk' nature of it, and features some extraordinary stinky singing and shoe refusal, dangerous child cyclists, a double appendage gomi carrying methodology, and the avoidance of a creepy approach. Tune in!

Episode 20 - Week 5;

Walking episode. After a brief clothing malfunction there is a moment to reflect on the terrible earthquake in Kumamoto before resuming idiotic waffle. After that it's pretty much idiotic waffle until the end, with some short but important pieces of advice. A falling branch does feature, so keep your ears open for that.

Episode 19 - Week 5:

It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring...well, driving. Yes, it's driving rain driving today, so a shorter episode. There's some behind the scenes pre-commute homelife to contend with before you get to the good stuff i.e. me once again explaining the format of the pod. I just assume that nobody is completist enough to go back to day one and start from there...you should though, it is absolutely worth it.
