(2:11:36) If statistics mean anything, then Internet audio pioneer Frank Edward Nora is a HERO.  Your host Jimbo has an exclusive, candid interview with him. Chad Bowers has his own Dystopia/hero story; Dave Duckert, from the frozen(?) tundra of Wisconsin, is back with another special story – this one about the time he broke up an ‘old boy political network’; Jimbo has a really goofy “Week-in-Review” that you won’t want to miss [Godzilla and Timo vs the Kyoto Cicadas?] and later talks about heroes in his life.

You’re all invited to be a part of next week’s show; you can tell us all what’s on your mind about the following topic: ‘Aha’ Moments (Moments when the light bulb came on!)

Please have your contributions sent to Jimbo by 🕖 7 pm EDT, August 7, 2017. If you know Jimbo’s e-mail address, send your contribution there. Otherwise, send your contributions to onsugcentral@gmail.com.

Thanks to the talented Laura Duyn for the voice work!

45:18 – With apologies to Michael Franks, we didn’t spend Christmas in Kyoto, but we did explore the hallowed grounds of the Kyoto Animation gift shop and studios (the greatest anime production house ever, obviously), then down to the market that inspired Tamako Market, the Imperial Palace, and an equally impressive convenience store. Other topics include railfans at JR crossings, cicadas, fog and monsoons, Disney, pretty anime boys, Yahoo and Infoseek, and getting lost at Kyoto station. Sounds from the Osaka-Kyoto Shinkansen, and the Kyoto Municipal Subway.
