“You are spanking us so thoroughly the least you could do is give us an interview” - and intro and an apology

On September 09, 2008 in Announcements, Interviews

At year end 2007 KenYN of WhatJapanThinks held a contest for the best Japan-blogsin five categories (a friendly contest). DailyJ was paired off against Trans-Pacific Radio, ObservingJapan, JapanNewbie and others, and TPR was beating DailyJ mercilessly. So I emailed the good people over at Trans-Pacific Radio, for an interview, with this subject (which I vainly think was a clever one):

“You are spanking us so thoroughly the least you could do is give us an interview :)”

I guess it was attention grabbing enough because they responded and we sent emails back and forth.

Apology: 

But when Ken and Garrett finished the interview on January 14th I was deep into my month of guest blogging on RisingSunOfNihon and quite swamped. February saw me trying to play catch-up but to little avail. March hit me like a ton of bricks and I had some major time demands on my offline life to boot. That put DailyJ out of commission from mid-March until August.

I kick myself for not having posted their interview sooner. It really is not fair at all to Ken and Garrett. Trans-Pacific Radio is such a great website and they are doing such a great job with it.

Maybe they can forgive me. They definitely deserved better. I only hope that posting the interview now (better late, than never) makes up in part for my shortcoming.

Intro

Tomorrow will bring an interview that is NOT TO BE MISSED! We are going behind the scenes to talk to Garrett and Ken about their motives and aspirations for Trans-Pacific Radio. There is much to learn from them, including some food for thought for everyone who picks up a mic or pounds the keypad to talk about Japan.

DO NOT MISS IT (It will be all in one beefy post). So Stay Tuned!

Until then. Have a great day,

DailyJ
