From Astro Boy to Gundam to real-world robots like ASIMO and Pepper, Japan's fascination with robots runs deep. This week, the Krewe is joined by author, cultural commentator, & robot enthusiast Matt Alt to explore how robots became heroes instead of threats in Japanese pop culture and how those sci-fi dreams quietly shaped Japan's modern relationship with technology, AI, and everyday automation. From giant mecha and cyborg icons to robot cafés and beyond, we dig into why Japan seems so comfortable living alongside machines in an episode that's equal parts nostalgia, culture, and future tech.------ About the Krewe ------The Krewe of Japan Podcast is a weekly episodic podcast sponsored by the Japan Society of New Orleans.

For years, video game adaptations had a reputation, and not a good one.In Episode 86 of Co-op Chronicles, Blacklabel, Geisha, and Azzilee take a deeper look at why video game movies and shows struggled for so long… and why some adaptations are finally starting to work.Using Iron Lung as a timely case study, we explore how expectations, tone, restraint, and audience trust shape whether an adaptation succeeds or falls apart. We also break down what worked in modern successes like The Last of Us, Arcane, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, and Prince of Persia and why other adaptations stumbled by over-explaining, chasing accuracy, or failing to understand what made the original game matter.This isn't a ranking episode... it's a conversation about why translating feeling matters more than copying plot, and why some games may never be meant for the screen at all.If you've ever wondered why some adaptations “feel right” while others feel hollow, this episode explains why.

In Episode 85 of Co-op Chronicles, Blacklabel, Geisha, and Azzilee explore the idea of accidental horror, moments where games not designed to be scary still managed to make players feel uneasy, isolated, or deeply uncomfortable.We break down how silence, emptiness, routine, scale, and sound design quietly transformed games like Subnautica, Shadow of the Colossus, and Minecraft into experiences that stuck with players long after they stopped playing.This episode isn't about jump scares or monsters. It's about the dread that comes from nothing happening and why that can feel worse than anything chasing you.If you've ever felt unsettled in a game that “wasn't supposed to be scary,” this episode explains exactly why.

In this episode of Co-op Chronicles, we dive into the Kurim Case, one of the most disturbing cases of prolonged child abuse and deception in modern European history.What began as a private family life in the Czech Republic slowly revealed a hidden system of control, manipulation, and cruelty that went unnoticed for years. At the center were children who were isolated from the world, a mother who enforced rigid authority, and a woman pretending to be a child, a lie so convincing it fooled schools, doctors, and social services across multiple countries.This isn't a story about a single crime. It's about how abuse can exist quietly inside ordinary structures, and how systems meant to protect the vulnerable can fail when no one looks closely enough.⚠️ Content Warning: This episode discusses child abuse and psychological harm.

le 25 juillet 1980, à Kyoto, la plus célèbre geiko de son époque annonce sa retraite à 29 ans, et tout Gion Kobu retient son souffle. Née Masako Tanaka, elle a choisi enfant d'entrer dans une okiya prestigieuse, d'être adoptée et de devenir Mineko Iwasaki. Formée dans une discipline extrême, elle maîtrise danse, musique, étiquette et l'art du silence, au cœur des banquets des ochayas. Très vite, elle devient une légende, sollicitée par les puissants et les célébrités du monde entier. Mais derrière la soie et la perfection : épuisement, jalousies, anxiété, santé abîmée et vie sans véritable avenir hors du karyūkai. Son départ fracasse un système figé et pousse d'autres geikos à quitter le métier. Plus tard, l'affaire “Mémoires d'une geisha” la pousse à reprendre la parole. Elle publie son autobiographie pour rétablir la réalité et dénoncer les clichés. Elle rappelle surtout une vérité essentielle : une geiko n'est pas une courtisane, mais une femme des arts.

Although, we rant majority of this episode off topic, so bare with us please!!! From the emotional weight of Final Fantasy, Zelda, and Chrono Trigger, to the pulse-pounding energy of DOOM and Cuphead, to modern standouts like Hades, Persona, Hollow Knight, Skyrim, and Expedition 33, we break down how game music shapes memories, identity, comfort, and adrenaline.This isn't a ranking. It's a reflection.Because years later, it's the music that brings us back.

Don and Steve are back with another round of Business & Bullsh*t, where real entrepreneurs break down wins, screwups, and what actually moves the needle, without the corporate fluff.It starts with a simple question. What is the most you would ever pay for a cup of coffee?That question gets real when a café in Dubai offers a $980 cup made from rare Nido 7 Geisha beans, with only 400 cups available worldwide. Absurd, or brilliant?From there, the conversation opens up into a deeper look at business reinvention, brand fatigue, and the real cost of change. Don and Steve unpack Panera's return to its “apex,” focusing on value, menu refreshes, and the decision to prioritize food over flashy tech. That leads into a broader discussion about innovation versus human connection, and what brands risk losing when they chase trends instead of trust. Don also shares firsthand challenges from the ongoing Clean Eatz rebrand.The episode wraps with sharp takes on skyrocketing Super Bowl ad costs, shifting brand loyalty among Gen Z, pop culture detours, bourbon mashups, and a fast-paced round of the Founderz Fast Five.Timestamps:[00:00] Trailer[01:03] Founderz Round Up: Panera[05:40] Super Bowl Commercials[08:17] Pop Culture: Nicki Minaj[10:05] Jeffrey Epstein[11:29] Social Media Update[11:56] Lululemon Stock[15:06] Strange News[17:07] Weekly Mashup[20:41] Hot Takes: Modern Heritage[26:18] Founderz Fast FiveKey Takeaways:  • Gen Z is cutting spending by 13% this year.

In episode 46, we review two expansions: The White Castle: Matcha published by Devir and Wyrmspan: Dragon Academy published by Stonemaier Games. But, first! We chat about what is bringing us joy: Yokai Septet, 12 Chip Trick, Sausage Sizzle!, and Galileo Galilei. The White Castle: Matcha introduces the tea ceremony to the game and a new means to influence the court with new members of your clan: Geishas. This includes taking actions in order to proceed along the Path of Tea; progress far enough along this path, and your Geisha will earn a spot in the Tea House, granting your clan additional influence within the court of Himeji. This expansion incorporates a suite of new game spaces, cards, player boards, and workers. However, one of the pivotal changes that Angela isn't a huge fan of is the addition of another die, bringing the total actions a player takes from three in the base game to four in a round.Wyrmspan: Dragon Academy introduces more of everything from the base game, from caverns, to dragons, to guilds, to objectives. However, the most appealing changes (in our homie opinions) are the addition of the round tracker and fledgling dragons. When a player passes out of a round, they get a choice of bonuses to take into the next round, rather than the flat 6 coins you previously got in the base game. Fret not, as there is still an option for those 6 coins if you get there early enough, but the others provide resources and one fewer coin, which may be just what you need to entice that dragon. As for the fledglings, they are a fifth type of dragon that lack any abilities from the start but can transform with enough care from your trainer (often in the form of providing different resources.) They also increase in score the more you attract to your caves. Two worthy expansions!

With Scott MurrayIn This Podcast: In this episode, returning guest and 50-year organic agriculture veteran Scott Murray shares the remarkable story of how coffee is commercially being successfully grown in Southern California. Scott explains how a single houseplant sparked a multi-variety coffee trial, eventually producing a Geisha harvest that sold out in one day at $796 per pound. He walks us through polyculture design, coffee's surprising climate tolerance, and how California could become a boutique coffee region.Our Guest: Scott Murray has over 50 years of experience in organic agriculture across the U.S. and Mexico and has served as a California conservation official for 33 years. He specializes in farm creation, farmland preservation, and regenerative polyculture systems. Scott now leads pioneering research and consulting on California-grown coffee, managing multi-variety trials and agroforestry-based plantations.1. Who is Scott Murray?Scott Murray is a farmer, consultant, and conservation leader with 50 years of organic agriculture experience in the U.S. and Mexico. He has been a California conservation official for 33 years and specializes in farmland preservation, smart-growth planning, and farm creation. He has recently become a pioneer in growing coffee in Southern California.2. Are people really growing coffee in California?Yes! Scott and his collaborators have successfully grown multiple varieties of coffee in Southern California. Their first commercial harvest in 2018 sold out in one day at $796 per pound.3. How did coffee production begin on Scott's farm?It started as a houseplant experiment when Scott's son Sam bought a coffee plant from a nursery. When it produced cherries, it sparked curiosity. Later, Scott interplanted coffee into a rejuvenated avocado orchard, creating a thriving polyculture system.4. Why grow coffee under avocado trees?Coffee thrives with protection, partial shade, and companion plants. Avocado trees provide a microclimate that buffers wind, sun, and temperature swings. This intercropping also enhances biodiversity and farm resilience.5. What is the difference between monoculture and polyculture?Monoculture: Growing only one crop (e.g., avocados alone).Polyculture: Multiple crops grown together (e.g., avocados + coffee + bananas).Polycultures support pollinators, beneficial insects, soil health, and long-term productivity.6. How do they protect young coffee trees?Scott developed a “coffee protection structure” using:A gopher basketA chicken-wire cageAgricultural shade fabricThis boosts early survival and results in fast, healthy establishment.7. How many varieties of coffee are they testing?Scott is currently trialing 48+ varieties, including rare and exotic types such as Geisha and Whoosh Whoosh.8. What's special about Geisha coffee?Geisha is one of the highest-value coffees in the world, known for its floral, tea-like flavor profile. Scott's California-grown Geisha fetched $796/lb—demonstrating the potential for a specialty coffee industry in California.9. How does California's climate affect coffee quality?Because California coffee cherries often stay on the plant for up to 12 months, the beans can accumulate more complex flavor compounds, potentially elevating specialty coffee quality.10. Why is biodiversity important in coffee farms?More

You're listening to Burnt Toast! I'm Virginia Sole-Smith. You're listening to Burnt Toast. I'm Virginia Sole-Smith. Today, my conversation is with Kaila Yu. Kaila is an author based in Los Angeles. Her debut memoir, Fetishized: A Reckoning with Yellow Fever, Feminism, and Beauty, came out earlier this fall to a rave review in The New York Times. She's also a luxury travel and culture writer with bylines in The New York Times, Rolling Stone, The LA Times, Condé Nast Traveler and many more. Kaila's memoir grapples with her experience growing up Asian and female in a world that has so many stereotypes and expectations about both those things. We talk about the pressure to perform so many different kinds of specific beauty labor, the experience of being objectified sexually —and we really get into how we all navigate the dual reality of hating beauty standards and often feeling safer and happier complying with them. I learned so much from this book, and this conversation with Kaila. Don't forget that if you've bought Fat Talk from Split Rock Books, you can take 10% off your purchase of Fetishized there too — just use the code FATTALK at checkout. And if you value this conversation, a paid subscription is the best way to support our work!Join Burnt Toast!

Ever wonder how Y2K pop culture shaped the way we see beauty, identity, and representation today? Jackie and Danielle from No More Late Fees sit down with author, musician, and cultural commentator Kaila Yu to dive into her powerful memoir Fetishize—a candid look at how media, race, and womanhood intertwined in the late '90s and early 2000s.In this episode, the trio gets nostalgic (and a little spicy) as they unpack: • How Memoirs of a Geisha and the early 2000s beauty ideals shaped an entire generation's self-image • Gwen Stefani's Harajuku era and the blurred line between homage and appropriation • Kaila's behind-the-scenes experience in Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift and the hidden history of Asian representation in Hollywood • The toxic glamour of Y2K pop culture and the complicated love story between feminism and fame • Nostalgic shoutouts to Charlie's Angels, Britney Spears, and the best (and worst) fashion trends we still secretly loveIt's a funny, insightful, and refreshingly honest conversation that celebrates nostalgia while challenging the narratives that defined it.If you love pop culture deep dives, feminist commentary, and a trip down memory lane with plenty of laughs along the way, hit that subscribe button, leave us a review, and share your favorite moment from the episode!Keywords: Kaila Yu, No More Late Fees podcast, Y2K nostalgia, 2000s pop culture, Asian representation, Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift, Memoirs of a Geisha, Gwen Stefani Harajuku Girls, feminist podcast, celebrity memoirs, Britney Spears era, women in media—No More Late Fees ⁠https://nomorelatefeespodcast.com⁠909-601-NMLF (6653)—Follow Us on Social:Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/nomorelatefees TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@nomorelatefees Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/nomorelatefeesYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/@nomorelatefees Twitterhttps://x.com/NoMoreLateFees —CONQUERing⁠⁠myconquering.com⁠⁠10% Off Code: JACKIE10—Kaila YuInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/kailayu/Websitehttps://kailayu.com/Order Fetishized: A Reckoning with Yellow Fever, Feminism, and Beautyhttps://amzn.to/4oBJ81a

This week we talk about fame—how it shapes perception in both pop culture and coffee. From the awkwardness of Will Smith trying to rap again to Hacienda Esmeralda's Geisha selling for record prices at Best of Panama, we dig into how notoriety creates visibility, drives value, and raises the ceiling for everyone. Fame isn't always comfortable, but it opens doors. Whether it's an actor or a coffee producer, once you're known, you change the market around you. Instead of resenting that spotlight, the challenge is to use it as inspiration—to shine light on others and expand what gets celebrated.
