Join us then, for part one of the inevitable descent into greater obscurity, for “Dai-Cast, The Final: Part 2″.

This week on Dai-Cast, we’ve got two new guest hosts in the form of Brian Derkson, and the mysterious Mr. Dai-Cast.  So what do we talk about?  We look into the arrest of a man being arrested for sending spam.  9 Spam messages…  Then we look at a new variant on the electronic bubble wrap craze, with Moé sound effects.  Plus, we talk about the recent workplace validation of a teachers suicide, inciting a discussion once again inciting a discussion on the working conditions of Japanese workers.  And we join Japan in denoucing the rape by US Marines.  Also, HD DVD is dead, says Japan…

Hosts: Ian Horner, Jason Hill, Bryan Derkson, and Mr. Dai-Cast, with Brendan Dery as “Beej”.

This week on Dai-Cast we give you actual education for your mental emolument. First off, it’s a little on the Japanese alphabet Katakana, used for “foreign” words, and good information for “Viking” seekers in Tokyo. Then it’s time to talk about the presidential primaries, with “Barack Obama” visiting Obama station, and how he could have got a Nintendo DS by riding JR. Then it’s an educational rathole into the terminology of Japanese schools. We also mention Magical Witches Love and Berry for some reason… Plus, we mention High School Girl brand meat products, then move on to Sega’s English of the Dead!

Hosts: Ian Horner, and Jason Hill, with Brendan Dery as “Beej”.

This week, we’re back with the bare minimum needed for the cast, trading Jason for the double X that is Eryn Derden. We’ve roped her in to talk about learning English from Cosplayers with Cosplish, then it’s on with the Rape Whistles! Plus, cosplayers invade Osaka’s airports, and you too can now racially (?) profile otaku! All this plus Beej’s final “Webcomic of the Week” on Dai-Cast.

This week on Dai-Cast we have a guest host, in the form of a mysterious stranger! In reality, we just had issues with microphones, and decided to tweak the audio, as we didn’t want to leave you without a Dai-Cast this week. It’s barely listenable, but if you feel brave, soldier on! If you’re still here, you can hear us rant about robot suits for farming, real life Gundam Costs, Bags of Rice, Japanese Dialects, and Osakan Amphibious Taxis. Plus, the Japanese Government tells us that UFOs are real, and need to be shot down. And finally, a tribute to our favourite (not) childhood toy M.U.S.C.L.E. Men.

Hosts: The Mysterious Stranger, and Jason Hill, with Brendan Dery as “Beej”.

And after a long holiday break, we’re back, with our usual disjointed mix of topics on Japanese popular culture from a western perspective.  This week, we take on the top 10 Ways Foreigners Perceive the Japanese, and the new trend of Otaku Hunting by the Police (ed. not including Sting).  Then, we examine the non-news of the end of Newtype Japan, and we discover MAD videos for the first time (ed. not featuring Alfred E. Newman).  All this, plus Beej’s patented Webcomic of the Week on this week’s Dai-Cast!

Hosts: Ian Horner, Eryn Dearden, and Jason Hill, with Brendan Dery as “Beej”.
