Trans-Pacific Radio

We’re finally ready to release our pilot episode to the world! In this pilot episode, Garrett DeOrio and Kozo Ota discuss PM Abe after the Upper House election, the portrayal of Japan in the foreign media, and the appointment of Caroline Kennedy as US Ambassador to Japan.

We’re still working out the kinks and appreciate all comments positive and negative!

Most notably we’d like to change our opening and closing music from the current Apple loop to something more original. If anyone would like to contribute music to the show please drop us a line!

After a couple of false starts we’re almost ready to release the pilot episode of the renewed TPR! Hopefully we’ll have the episode featuring Garrett and Kozo up before the end of the weekend!

Planning for the TPR comeback continue in earnest and we don’t have anything concrete to announce yet. What we can announce is that TPR will be hosting a Upper House election results stream. TPR co-founder Garrett DeOrio will be joined by Adam Richards of Mutantfrog and Kozo Ota of Tsubamegun to preview and go over the results on election night. The show is scheduled to start at 20:00 JST on election night (July 21).

We’ll post more details as the date approaches.

After over 3 years of inactivity, Trans-Pacific Radio is planning a comeback! The exact details of the comeback are still being discussed, but expect old and new voices to revive the character and analysis that made Trans-Pacific Radio a insightful and entertaining site. Expect more details in the coming days and weeks. In the meantime, you can follow us on Twitter @TPRJP on our Facebook Page, or on our Google+ Page.
