Tokyo Boy 02

The second episode of my Tokyo Boy podcast is now up. It was recorded yesterday at Nakano Broadway, as I was there to take some pictures to accompany my piece on Kubrick/Be@rbrick figures for PingMag (which will be online Monday I think). Again, the sound is sort of crappy, but I think it’s a bit better than last time, in part because I was inside, but also because I was holding the iPod/iTalk further away from my mouth, which might be the main cause of the scratching. I think using a tiny mic would probably fix the problem.

Also, I’ve put up a feed for the podcast, so you can subscribe to that instead of having to download individual episodes.

PauseTalk is a regular series of events that take place at Cafe Pause on the first Monday of every month, with a start time of 20:00.
