The drink flows, nore talk of eels, then we hear Part One of Andy's 'Kansai Diary', documenting his recent trip to the cultural heart of Japan in a somewhat tongue-in-cheek fashion. This week  centers on the truth about Kyoto's Geisha, and a visit to Uji to visit some alleged UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

STAVKA sing 'Lo-fi Gods', an ode to all things badly recorded, before talk turns to the poets of World War One, including one Edmund Blunden who subsequently visited Japan and wrote of his experiences in post-A-Bomb Nagasaki.

Dave rounds out with another Japanese idiom, this time concerning 'evaporation', which considering our talk of Nagasaki, is somewhat tasteless. Oh well...
