Tokyo Tales - The Simon and Martina Podcast

We spent a month in Canada and had a very different experience than what we're used to. So, for this podcast, we'll tell you what we did in Canada, and try to figure out how to do this video shooting thing again :D

We had a good question from a user who wants to know how to stay playful as an adult, especially since everyone around them is getting so serious as they get older. What's our secret? We'll talk about it for this week's podcast!

If everything's going well, but you're not feeling alright, is there something wrong with you, or could there be something else at play? Especially if you're in Chronic Pain, how does that affect how you perceive the world? We'll talk about that a bit for this week's podcast!

We followed some gorgeous sunsets, and ended up in a whole new area we've never encountered, and had some dope experiences.

We don't know the answer to this question, but we're pretty sure we had an issue with workaholism back in Korea. Are we still workaholics now? That's what we're unsure about.

We'll be talking about our trip to Malmö Sweden, why we were there, and what we did for this week's podcast!

We've been married for 12 years. 12 years! To celebrate, we went to Guam, and we've got some stories to tell about people swimming in full clothing, and threatening a man with a knife.

For this week's podcast we're talking extensively about RuPaul's Drag Race, season 11, and why it's important to Martina. It really is. Spoilers about this episode, so be warned!

Things are going to have to change over the next month, it seems. Martina's hand is worse than expected...

We think the idea of soul mates is giving people the wrong idea of what it takes to make a relationship work. Happily Ever After doesn't really tell people how much work goes into a marriage. So, we'll talk a bit about what we do, what you don't see, and our thoughts on marriage counselling in this week's episode!

We've been doing this social media thing for a long time now. And as we grow older and see more people get into the field, we're starting to wonder what is a healthy way for us to share a message with you, in ways that won't cause more harm than good.

Episode 15 gives a convoluted answer to a simple question: where are you from? For us, that's not an easy question to answer, and I don't know what's the right thing to say.

Episode 14 of the Tokyo Tales podcast has us talking a bit about our time in Barcelona, and then we get into a bit of a heated discussion about tourist traps. WTF is a tourist trap? Help us understand better, because right now, we're not fond of the phrase...

Today we're talking about one of our techniques for traveling with chronic pain, and Martina shares a special story about a lion.

Our neighbour surprised us by inviting us over to her house for a tea ceremony. We enthusiastically accepted, and had a very special memory made that day.

We went down to Kobe to shoot a big video, and went wandering out by ourselves, and found a connection to our past lives that we weren't expecting.

We've been thinking about what kind of house we'd want int he future, and we got ushered to the spirit realm by a magical animal.

For this week's podcast, we saw puppies, new coffee shops, huge doggies, sunsets, and Martina got herself in an uncomfortable situation, all in one day's worth of adventuring

We're grieving the loss of our dog, Spudgy, but we're trying to not get too lost in grief, so we're pushing through. Here's how.

We're back home in Tokyo, and we've learned some things about ourselves, and different ways for us to build our ladders

We're in Pickering for this episode, and we don't have our full audio gear, so we might sound a bit different, but we wanted to share some tales about drinks we've never seen and ducks we've never touched (though Martina just touched a duck).

It's the season for dancing in Japan, and we got our yukatas on and danced the night away at the top of the roof of a department store. We'll tell you all about it this week!

A restaurant we go to made me cry, and made me rethink what it means to be a part of a community here in Tokyo.

Martina, in desperation, makes one of the worst purchases of her life, and then lost it.

Someone told our neighbour about us, and now we're scared. Also, we get the chance to try out something we've always seen, but never tasted!

We've been doing podcasts for a while for SBS PopAsia, but now it's time for us to start one for ourselves. Here's our first episode of our new show, in which we talk about going past the darker side of Kichijoji to find a new soul brother.
