Outpost Nine :: Editorials :: I am a Japanese School Teacher
This is by far the goddamn funniest thing I have read in a long time. It's written by a JET teaching English in junior high. This guy is a riot, and I can say without a doubt that every word is true. The kids I taught when I first came here are now pushing 30 years old, but they were exactly the same.
I'm laughing so hard I had to take a hit off my asthma puffer. All day I promised myself I'd edit audio tonight, but I can't stop reading.

I have hours and hours of binaural recordings I haven't edited. By the end of this week I'll find something interesting and release it into the wild.

Area 51, a very, very slick comedy podcast (#34 on Podcast Alley) put together by a group of top-notch professionals who probably lost their jobs when Clear Channel pillaged and burned their former places of work, mentioned Herro Flom Japan on their March 24 podcast.
Dude, I know the levels were off. It was my 2nd podcast. Ever. In my whole life. Come to think of it, I'll fix the levels tonight and re-upload it.

It seems like quite a few people are curious about the setup I'm using to record binaural soundseeing tours. Actually, I wouldn't recommend using the rig I hobbled together because it picks up the sounds inside my mouth and upper digestive tract. Check out the binaural mics at soundprofessionals.com instead.
But, since you asked…
- Recorder: iRiver 799
- 2 mono to 1 stereo jack adapter: Sony PC-239S (no doubt Radio Shack has something that'll do the same thing.)
- recording earbuds: Sony ECM-TL1 (two of them)
There's picture of the monstrosity here.
At home I use a Plantronics DSP-400 headset and Audacity. The noise canceling mic works great. If I were using an el cheapo mic, the racket my PC makes would practically drown out my voice. And the headset came with a CD full of excellent software, which I unfortunately lost long ago.
