TEIJG Podcast - The Lost Episodes - November in Japan

TEIJG Lost Episode for November 2010

I have been trying to fill the holes in our podcast archive and I think I found about 6 missing episodes. This particular episode of the Teaching English in Japan Podcast aired in November of 2010.  I did a bit of editing to the audio to hopefully bump up the volume a bit.  Back then we had some crappy gear that didn't allow much amplification.

Anyways how you enjoy the episode!!

TEIJG Update: The Lost Episodes

So, I found some of the missing episodes and uploaded the unedited files to Archive Dot Org for safe keeping.

The plan is to edit the audio a bit and put them into the Podcast Feed so you will get them on your iPhone/iPod/Whatever way you listen to Podcasts.

On another note, expect to get some new TEIJG episodes soon. I am just about ready to get back into regular production schedule.

TEIJG 66 - A New Hope in Japanese Podcasts

Episode 66 of TEIJG is now live! Our new format is more about being Totally Enthusiastic Interested in Japan.  Anything and everything that vaguely has to do with Japan or Japanese culture is fair game on this podcast. From Japanese Music, Anime, Manga, JPOP, JDramas, News, etc... Oh yeah and a whole bunch of "The Yanks" commentary on the subjects.  We will eventually try to rope "The Crank" back into the Podcast but until we can find a good time, it's Eric going it solo.  I have an idea or two on how to get "The Crank" on as a roaming reporter, so stay tuned.

TEIJG Podcast Update - Relaunch - Totally Enthusiastically Interested in Japan Guide

Hello fellow TEIJG fans! I am doing well in good old San Antonio, Texas.  I have finally found a job and have been working for about 2 weeks now.  Working in the "real world" makes you really appreciate how much you miss teaching English in Japan, I tell you.  Well, I don't miss the teaching part too much but I do miss living in Japan!

So I have decided to keep The TEIJG Podcast going, but since I am not teaching English in Japan or actually living there anymore, I need to shift focus a little bit.  I will start to focus on some different areas of Japan.

• Japanese Pop Culture
• News
• Technology Stories
• Sports
• Toys
• Cars
• Food

Basically, TEIJG is going to be your weekly update on Japan, and all things Japanese or related to Japan and the region.

I guess we have to redue the acronym for TEIJG, huh????  How about this:
