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