episode #19 IMPERIAL HOUSEHOLD

In Episode #19, I discuss the history of the Japanese Imperial Family, their role throughout history, and their role as modern day figures of Japanese culture and society.

I apologize first off for putting the show up so late. I have just had a very busy weekend, and just have not had the time until now to put anything together. It was all ready to be recorded, I just needed mic time.

I went off show format a bit this week, but I am just a nut about Japanese History, and I love the way the Imperial Family has had everything to do with the development of this country up until the 1950’s! I know it’s not the most exciting show you’ll hear, but it’s a little informative to those who don’t have much knowledge about the history of Japan.

If you have the money, I would highly suggest you get a “Podcast Art Calendar” made by the famous Len from JawBone Radio

“Japanese Phrases of the Week” go back to the basic of the basics this week…..

good morning = ohayo gozaimasu = おはよございます
hello (daytime) = konnichiwa = こんにちわ
good evening = konbanwa = こんばんわ

That’s it for this week. Sorry again about the late posting! You all know how to reach me…

Until next time,

mata-ne!

    1- Love it.
    2- What’s happening with the itunes feed? It fails to download any of the episodes since you posted podcast #15. I waited, figuring that it would come back, but it hasn’t. I unsubscribed, then resubscribed to realized that I can’t download ANY episodes.
    Anything you can do would be great.
    In the meantime I’m downloading straight from your site. Not as convenient thought, and since I keep your podcast, it is anoying because they have different names and ID3 tags when they come from ITunes.

    Cheers.

    Hi there,

    There were a couple of other addresses in your podcast. Could you please post them too? One of them was that service you were talking about with yahoo auctions.

    Thanks,

    Jason

    juice,

    not sure what’s going on since you’re the only person so far to come forth with an issue like this.

    i wish i had a difinitive answer, but don’t right now. if more people speak up with an exact same issue, i could say it’s my setup, but no one yet…

    sorry :( i wish i could do something for ya!

    thanks for sticking it through though!

    I found out why (or probably why) I can’t retrieve through iTunes: You (or feedburner) probably changed something that translates the MP3 source machine to an IP address. What I mean is that for example, here is where feedburner rediredcts me to get the file: http://67.19.113.196/podcasts/episode19.mp3. Unfortunately our proxy prevents us from accessing any direct IP address, we need the domain name. So maybe something changed around episode 15 and now I receive direct ip addresses instead of domain names.

    IS there anything that can be done?

    unfortunately, there’s nothing i can do right now. one of your fellow listeners is volunteering space on his server that is separate from my hosting.

    if you would like to buy me a domain, or credit at godaddy, i might be able to help you out. :)

    You already have a server it seems, all you need is a domain name to attach it to. You can have one for $10/year. Is that too much?
    How do you pay for the bandwidth?
    I have three domain names ($20/year) but one hosting address with low bandwidth allocation ($50/year), I could not afford the bandwidth for a podcast if more than my friends were to subscribe to it.

    PS: It is not a big problem, I can download them from home, or even download them directly from your site. I was just curious.

    i guess i could buy some random domain and attach it to the server.

    i don’t personally pay for the bandwidth, i have an awesome listener who owns his own server who gives me free space and bandwidth. he’s awesome! it’s the best sponsorship a person could have! if he didn’t help me, i would be fighting with libsyn for all of their downtime, and i would have exceeded my usual host’s bandwidth 5 fold.

    i’ll see about finding a cheap domain. thanks!
