We just got back from a weekend long snowboarding trip to Daisen in Tottori Prefecture. The weather wasn’t great, but we had a good time and were able to film what might barely pass as a show. Until then, here’s the ‘bite size’ version of episode 30! A few days behind schedule but well worth the wait!
Bad Communication Ep. 30 – Bite Size
The Rise of the Baby Robot Dominion
Juggling a chatroom, a live USTREAM feed, pre-coffee early morning fatigue and winter induced sickness, the boys of Bad Communication power through this new episode at a new time! We jam a ton of stories into this week’s show talking about Apple saving the Japanese economy, creepy robot baby heads, a robot priest, gummy sushi, the end of a 1,400 year old business, some pics Andrew shot of a very snowy Osaka, Yahoo! selling its share of it’s Japan counterpart, plans for a maglev train from Tokyo to Osaka, a taxi-themed top 10, an upcoming robot marathon and a ski trip Andrew and I are taking this weekend! Crazy!
