Coming Soon, Stay Tuned No time to explain. Details about the New Media Man Minute will be forthcoming. Thanks for your patience. Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | 102209-UtUn 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. ...

Seemed that I might be able to beg the indulgence of the many kind listeners to allow me to submit this haphazard effort as an episode. It is after all the holiday season. Actually, had I not taken a three month hiatus, this would have been episode 122 (hence the repeated reference to that episode number). Listening and thinking back, I've realized that a couple o ...

The recorder managed to pick up a nice bit of atmosphere walking through a luxury hotel in central Tokyo on my way to a teaching gig. And then, I managed to wrap up the story from the preceding episode while walking along a busy roadway. There's even an opportunity for you to participate in the comments by sharing your advice for the new recruits at your company. And then I e ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | TC 126 - Executive Sweets, Part 1 (click the magic button to hear or download the 28 minute episode) This episode is part 1 of a multi-part series featuring stories from some of the big shots I've been teaching recently. The short bit of audio that appears between the last two segments features some cut-up excerpts from a video on creating compelling elevator speeches with The Chief Storyteller from SellingPower.com. It was assembled with GarageBand. Part two should be coming later this week. Thanks for listening.

I'm still surprised with how nicely the disparate pieces fell in together - though it did take a bit of tweaking to make some of them fit. More coming shortly.

(click the magic button to hear or download the 23 minute episode) Quite by accident, I seem to have stumbled upon a format that is fun to record, relatively easy to produce, and hopefully not too unpleasant on the ear. I'm thinking of calling it a "How do 'ya do - cast." Is that corny enough? More music from Lizards From Afar is featured in the middle of this episode. My apologies for not announcing the song more professionally in the previous episode - but hey, I'm a goober, aren't I ...

(click the magic button to hear or download the 11 minute episode) Sir Pent, the drummer from Lizards From Afar, asked me to play a song from his band on the podcast. He said he was a long time listener and thought the other Tokyo Calling listeners would enjoy hearing the band. As a rock and roll kind of guy, I told him I'd be honored to play their song "Way Back (Mr. Peabody)" on the next episode.

Many thanks to everyone who sent words of support and encouragement during the recent three month hiatus. The time away from the podcast has provided an opportunity to ponder where things are going with Japan's 1st podcast. This episode is, in essence, a meditation on those ponderings. In short: Tokyo Calling is back (just in time for the fifth anniversary)!

Show notes don't really seem to make sense for this one as it's pretty self-explanatory. Curious listeners might be interested in tracking down the Warren Ellis blog post referenced at the close of the episode which was prompted by a recent report about some science stuff from the BBC.

(click the magic button to hear or download the 9 minute episode) It seems that this is the time of year when this podcast always appears to crash and burn. Over the past three years a number of folks had declared an end to Tokyo Calling through the silent weeks of late May, June and July. Some might even have felt that the pattern was beginning to repeat itself this year. The point of this short little recording is to declare that nothing could be further from the truth.

Free hosting that actually returns a small sum compared to paid hosting leaves no choice. This is especially the case considering some decisions I've made about future directions for this podcast. All the details are laid out in a semi-coherent form in the later half of the episode. In the first half is the Kodomonohi fukubik ...

Problogger goes so far as to schedule a Resolution and Goal Setting brunch at the beginning of every year with his wife.

Instead, I blushingly offer you this 24 minute tumeric-laced-recording. I really never intended it to last more than a few minutes - just to say that there wouldn't be an episode this week is really all I meant to do. But that wasn't to be. I seemed to shift into an unknown over-drive gear once the power-drink kicked in. Before I knew ...

Listening back to myself droning on about marking papers, getting a haircut, eating the new Halloween Special edition caramel Kit-Kat, feeling content, reading to my daughter, and playing chess makes me cringe. I honestly can't imagine how or why good folks such as yourselves can endure such stuff. If there's one thing I've learned in reading comments and emails from subscribers over th ...

I'd rather have spent more time editing the file but ultimately the overwhelming reality of my schedule has forced me to release it as is. It looks like I'll have to slow things down with the podcast for the next 7 weeks or so. I'll try to get two more episodes out this month.

Before finding the park, I had just spent an hour or so checking out the Lab Motion exhibition at Tokyo Wonder Site.The free exhibition continues until March 21st. If you have the chance, I encourage you to check it out. You might be amused.

Though last week's two-year anniversary for Japan's first podcast went unmentioned, it did inspire some reflection.
