The A-Bomb City Easter Extravaganza, featuring a squeaking Japanese Easter Bunny, reminiscences of childhood chocolate eggs, and...er...nothing else to do with Easter.

Dave reveals his new internet venture, a website featuring 100-word book reviews, and kicks it off with a summary of Eric Hoffer's little-known tome "The Ordeal of Change". Andy pretends to go and make a cup of tea.

Part 3 of Andy's 'Kyushu Diary' next, in which we discover the Chinese and European past of Nagasaki, and why the Lonely Planet guides are crap.

The musical interlude this week is an old Easter Islanders techno piece called 'Canova da Milano', based on sampled and reversed lute loops, which leads in to a discussion of said renaissance stringed instrument and its appearance in a certain Shakespearian epic.

'Difficult Word of the Week' features that esoteric biblical utterance 'shibboleth', which somehow leads into talk of immersive online world 'Second Life' - watch out for Alric Yoshikawa!
