Bad Communication

The quiet after the storm that was Kurt and Mully, on this week’s episode we talk about some of our favorite stories from the past week.  We’ve got a British ninja, record rainfall in West Japan, a conversation all about blood type, glow in the dark skin, Prime Minister Noda’s approval rating and a beautifully shot documentary all about a small three interesting characters living in rural Japan.  A bit on the long side, this week’s show is jam packed with extra Bad Communication goodness!

It’s been a long time coming and we finally have the dastardly duo from Shizuoka, Kurt and Mully, as guest hosts on the show.  Although most of the show was spent just shooting the breeze with our good pals from up north, we do get to a few stories and talk about some pseudo-news.  Some of the stories include the long time coming resignation of Naoto Kan and his replacement Yoshihiko Noda, the Ninth Annual Tokyo Porn Channel AIDS Charity Fund Drive, a comparison of the Japanese and American population, a trippy track pick, a top 10 for all of you feeling homesick, a Friday night meet up in Osaka and a beautiful documentary about three eccentric characters living in a small village in Japan.  Great show, great stories and great guests on this week’s episode of Bad Communication!
