Originally recorded and produced in Kyoto, the cultural
capital of Japan, Kyoto Podcast takes advantage of
enhanced podcast technology to bring to you images of Japan
as well as sounds.
Each episode (in English) is usually oriented on a visit to
one of the 2000-odd temples in Kyoto but 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 9 years and who answers listener
questions as well as providing his own commentary on
aspects of Kyoto
From episode 16 onwards, we've switched to a video podcast
( why show a few images when you can show everything in
full-motion? ). Thus, we have setup a new RSS feed for the
video episodes (refer to the Subscribe page). The enhanced
podcast remains, however images will be still frames chosen
from the video podcast.
In 2005, I produced a total of 19 episodes. I'm presently
preparing to produce more episodes in 2006.
じゃ またね！
