In my most NPR-esque interview, I interview Joe McReynolds and we have serious listening problems. If you pay attention to the interviews as I do, you'll notice how Joe tells me things about what stuff he's done before, yet it doesn't register with me and I ask him again about what he's already said. I blame my setup for this issue. Too many lights and separation between me and the guest. Anyway, we talk about Joe's interesting job he's doing here. That is studying Tokyo and seeing how it would fit back in the USA. We talk also about his book on Chinese military weapons which he swears noone should read. Then we talk about bullshit jobs, fan fiction, and so much more.
