I’ve enjoyed all the podcasts so far, and found the transcripts very useful to have as a reference. I’m waiting for the next podcast, hopefully it won’t be too far away! Thanks.
Thanks. Sorry for the delay in the podcasts. I had meant to return to business as usual some time ago but I’ve had some unexpected things come up in my personal life. The podcasts will be returning soon though. I’d like to put out 1 episode by the end of the month.
Hey when is the next podcast coming? you said end of may and its now the end of july. just wondering. hope some more come soon!
thanks.
Just found your podcast, they are very helpful.
Please continue as soon as you get the chance!
I sincerely do apologize for the delay and appreciate all who have found anything useful in this podcast and await its return. This year has been quite difficult for me personally and things are almost back to normal. I moved once already this year (that’s why I thought I could have podcasts return in May) and I’m moving again at the end of the month. I need to find my notes on the episodes I had been working on at the end of last year so that I may resume business as usual. Time has flown so quickly, I can’t believe it’s been so long.
The delay has been beyond ridiculous and I don’t want to give excuses of all the things that have been going on. Suffice it to say, I think my life is back to normal so I can focus on my projects, namely this podcast. I may have lost the videos I taped for this podcast, which I’m sad about. This summer I am going to be sitting down with my mom to record some Kaachan Corner segments and I welcome any suggestions for topics. Kaachan Corner is where I talk to my mom or have her interview someone. She is first generation Japanese so she can give a native’s insight into culture/language.
