Andy takes the helm since Dave is away in Britain, and regales us with tales of financial disaster and misdiagnosed computer ailments.

He then heads downtown, new portable digital recorder in hand, to interview a Japanese female in an exceptionally noisy restaurant. Between mouthfuls of pizza, the talk ranges from men with breasts to plastic bags full of goldfish, as our young interviewee gamely dodges a neverending stream of innuendo.

STAVKA treat us to the new track "Coasts of Low Potential" before Andy reviews www.japanesepod101.com in 'Website of the Week'.

After a brief description (including sonic proof) of the horrors of Hiroshima's 'Flower Festival', we drop back in on the restaurant to catch the tale end of the interview,  which  brings things to a close.
