Dai-Cast 080 - Derail-o-Cast (or Reverse-o-Cast)

Dai-Cast Banner

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”.

Topics Covered This Week:

Dai-Cast Supplemental #003


This week, Ian talks about the recent METI 2007 robot awards, the Keta Shrine 2008 cormorant prediction ritual, and challenges your morals and sensibilities with an examination of advertising tactics against the yearly dolphin hunt in Japan.

Every week, Dai-Cast Supplemental will give you a chance to learn a little something more about Japan, and allow us to clear out our archives of old topics which didn’t make it into the full length show. All in 3-5 minute easily digestible chunks!
