  • Tokyo Splosion Quarterly: Spring 2020
    May 3 2020

    Ah, Spring. The blossoms are blossoming, the birds are chirping, and we are all mostly stuck inside. Why? Because a relatively obscure creature from a Sega Dreamcast game has escaped and is wreaking havoc around the world.

    Learn all about it in this episode, along with the answer to the question "What is scarier: someone with their nose sticking out of their surgical mask, or having your eyes gouged out?"

  • Tokyo Splosion Quarterly: Winter 2019/2020
    Jan 19 2020

    Welcome to Tokyo Splosion Quarterly. A celebration of the seasons and how they affect our daily lives in the Tokyo area. But mostly it's an excuse to drink together and talk about farts and stuff.

    In this installment, we talk about winter in Tokyo. We play some games, try some seasonal Japanese drinks, and share an experience with death and Buddhist funerals.

    Track of the week: Made in Japan by Buck Owens

    Welcome to Tokyo Splosion Quarterly! We are now a quarterly podcast releasing comedic ruminations focused on the changing seasons and how they influence our every day lives in Tokyo and Kanagawa.

    In this rambunctious Summer 2019 installment Cal is assaulted by a Kafka-esque cicada, we play an ice cream game, we talk about festivals in Japan, and Alek doesn't like Cal's socks.
