My name is <a href="http://www.twitter.com/nickux">Nick Lohr</a></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> and I want to thank you for listening. For the first interview, I spoke with <a href="http://www.twitter.com/dougdelong">Doug Delong</a></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">. Doug is an American expatriate living in Japan since the early 1990's. He's a writer, blogger, podcaster, and teacher.<br /></span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">His podcast, <a href="http://planetjapan.org/">Planet Japan</a></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> is a hilarious news show he co-hosts with fellow expat, Jennifer Eda. I strongly urge everyone to check it out. It's currently available in the <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=194266164">iTunes Store</a></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">. In addition to that, Doug contributes to his blog <a href="http://preacherskeptic.blogspot.com/">The Preacher &amp; The Skeptic</a></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> where he and a conservative preacher debate religious issues. It's a fascinating read and they encourage everyone to come join the discussion!</span></span></div><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 73px; height: 73px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LCdwWlPmR4Q/SqW_UU2alSI/AAAAAAAAAC8/-WfGnwgi55I/s320/doug_bigger.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378915685879158050" border="0" /><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">In the first episode of "Over There" Doug and I discuss his life in Japan, the differences between Japanese &amp; American </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">politics</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">, why you can't get good Mexican food over there, as well as no matter where you go you still carry a piece of your home country with you.

Kyle is currently working on some music for the introduction- I hope to post it here as it arrives. Also making sure my editing and various Internet skills are up to par. In the meantime, this is just me running a test and playing with the style of the site. Very disappointed to see Blogger doesn't use a flash-based music player plugin like Word Press.</div><div><br /></div></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5080286140118093505-6815020342309119291?l=overtherepodcast.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>nlohrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15603190309089822411noreply@blogger.com0
