The making of Japan Podshow

Hello there. Joseph here. In a cafe in Shibuya, opposite Sakuraya and that bright pink real estate agent on Center-gai. I have an hour to spare before meeting *Twinkle*, so thought I’d pen a few notes on all the stuff that’s been going on. In this blog I’ll be talking about podcasting. First off then, […]

Filming at the Ritz-Carlton Tokyo

Quite a memorable day today. *Twinkle* and George *Twinkle* and I For our final episode of this series of Japan Podshow we knew we had to do something pretty special. We wanted to celebrate. Celebrate in Style. A mysterious chain of events led us to the Ritz-Carlton Tokyo, located on floors 45-up in the Tokyo […]

Japan Podshow Episode 5: Killer Karaoke

Hhmm, I completely forgot to add Episode 5 of the podcast to The Daily Mumble at the weekend. Silly me.

Japan Podshow: Kanda Matsuri – musings of a producer

Two podcasts down, 1 video to go

It’s been a pretty productive day today. As you can see from my new lifestream (www.josephtame.com – how about that, my entire life reduced to a single rss feed!), I’ve been pretty busy. This morning I picked up a pretty decent camcorder from someone in Shimbashi – that was offered to me for free after […]

Japan Podshow Episode 1 now live!

I’m happy to be able to say, we did it! [click here for proof] I’ve been wanting to restart podcasting ever since I stopped about two years ago, but due to the amount of effort that has to be put in, it’s always been pushed back to the ‘I don’t have time’ burner. It must […]
