Originally recorded and produced in Kyoto, the cultural
capital of Japan, Kyoto Podcast was the first
podcast in Japan to take advantage of enhanced podcast
technology to bring to you both images of Japan as well as
sounds.
The first 16 episodes were produced on a weekly basis and
each episode (in English) is usually oriented on a visit to
one of the 2000-odd temples in Kyoto. However we also touch
on a variety of other Japan-related subjects: interviews
with Japanese language students, well-known musicians,
Kendo sensei and students, footage of Kyoto festivals, to
name but a few.
In addition, two regular contributors are:
- Donald the Nut who finds the strangest food he
can then eats it!
- our Resident Resident, a foreign resident who
has lived in Kyoto for 10 years and who answers listener
questions as well as providing his own commentary on
aspects of Kyoto
From episode 16 onwards, I switched to a video podcast (
why show a few images when you can show everything in
full-motion? ). However rather than adding new feeds (a
path to chaos), I have simply added new episodes to the
existing feed as I create them.
In 2005, I produced a total of 19 episodes. Then the
pressures of everyday life resulted in a lengthy hiatus.
Episode 20, a facecast of over 200 listeners, was released
in 2007. I have no immediate plans to release episodes in
2008 but am always happy to hear from listeners.
じゃ またね！

My request for listeners to send me a photo so I can do a special FaceCast episode resulted in over 200 people emailing me a photo. The FaceCast is now released in Episode 20.
