So it has come to my attention that last week’s show got cut off half way through. No matter. We’ll just give you the rest of it as, ANOTHER EPISODE! Mwahaha!

We now join a Dai-Cast, already in progress.

Dai-Cast 084 – Dai-Cast: The Final pt. 1

iHorner — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 01:16:23 +0000

Rome had Nero. The Aztecs had Cortez. Japan had it’s Fat Man. Throughout history, every great empire meets it’s end. And for Dai-Cast, that time is now. Welcome, friends, to the end of an era. An era marked by furious ratholes, meaningless banter, and the occasional nugget of real, informative content, all in the name of the education, elucidation, enlightnement, and mental emolument of the nipponistic hoi-polloi.

Join us then, for part one of the inevitable descent into greater obscurity, for “Dai-Cast, The Final: Part 1″.

Dai-Cast 081 – Big Fan of the Cupcakes

This week on Dai-Cast, Jason wants to get into the tampon business, beer drinking is finally safe for blind people, Obama thanks Obama (the town), and Maglev trains are coming for Tokyo and Osaka… eventually. Plus, Richard Gere is back re-making Japanese movies, this time about Hachiko, the Shibuya brass dog. And cupcakes. So sit back with a coffee, and a big box of the tasty treats, and enjoy!

This week on Dai-Cast, it’s a surprise! But seriously (Are we ever?) we discuss the recent trend of Butler Cafes catering to young women in Shibuya, new Korean space kimchi, Toshiba robot phones, an HD-DVD exchange program, and the greatest thing Japan will ever produce: Smoke on the Water. All this, along with our usual derailments and ratholes for your listening “pleasure”.
