Dans cet épisode 50, enregistré le 5 juillet, nous nous demandons à quel point c'est dangereux le métier de primeur.

Nous continuons aussi dans notre tendance inflationniste et parlons cette fois-ci de deux shows:

- Le crossover AEW / NJPW, Forbidden Door, diffusé le 26 juin.

- L'édition 2022 de Money in The Bank, diffuséé le 2 juillet.

Jim reflects on a legendary Kaiju film , Ishiro Honda's "Mothra" (1961), starring Frankie Sakai, Jerry Ito, Hiroshi Koizumi, Yumi and Emi Ito, and Kenji Sahara. This classic tale centers around a greedy businessman's abduction of two tiny princesses from a remote island that leads to an attack on Tokyo and later a large metropolitan city by the title character. Join us for a loving look  at this unique film on this episode of "Monster Attack!"

Jim looks at the sequel of "Gojira" - 1955's "Godzilla Raids Again," starring Hiroshi Koizumi, Takashi Shimura, Minoru Chiaki, Setsuko Wakayama and directed by Motoyoshi Oda. A Godzilla-like creature returns and is met by yet another "monster" awakened by H-Bomb testing to terrorize Japan. How will the authorities fight an unbeatable monster ... or monsters? Find out on this episode of "Monster Attack!"

Jim examines a Japanese cult classic from 1963 - "Matango; a.k.a. Attack of the Mushroom People," starring Kumi Mizuno, Akira Kubo, Hiroshi Koizumi, Yoshio Tsuchiya, Kenji Sahara and directed by Ishiro Honda. A group of people on a luxury cruise find themselves stranded on a remote island without food ... except for some suspicious mushrooms. To eat or not to eat. That is the question on this episode of "Monster Attack!"

Jim and special guest, Mark Maddox go to the "Land of the Rising Sun," for one of the most popular Japanese monster movies from the '60s - Ishiro Honda's "Mothhra vs Godzilla," starring Akira Takarada, Kenji Sahara and Hiroshi Koizumi. A strange egg washes ashore drawing the interest of a large corporation and the "King if Monsters" himself. It's a battle royale between two of Toho's most beloved creatures this week on "Monster Attack!"

This show is entirely based on a Guardian music article from October this year.

From Arsedestroyer To Zoogz Rift : 50 underground albums you've never even heard of

We took this headline as a challenge.

We'd heard of just 3. Of those 3, only 1 had provided a song for a previous show of ours. Way back in 2010, the wonderful My Time by Roberto Cacciapaglia & Ann Steel made the playlist.

1/50 Ain't Bad

That left 47 albums to listen to, 47 reviews to research and 47 backstories to read. That's the thing with underground albums - chances are there's a backstory. You know the kind of thing. The entire pressing of a recording that samples sumo bouts ¹ made in a small house on Skye ² is warped on a meat packing machine ³ but eventually released on a limited edition cassette at a Science Fiction festival ⁴ shortly before the artist drives off in a VW Beetle never to be heard from again ⁵.

30 made the final cut. Some are the lowest of lo-fi, some are the most gleeful of rackets (we're looking at you Harry Pussy), some are plain odd and most defy our technically limited attempts to blend them seamlessly into a mix.

Same old Joint really.

Hiroshi Amano forskar alla dagar på året utom på nyårsafton då han åker till sin mamma och säger gott nytt år.

Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play.

De nya tekniska framsteg han gör på labbet kan få en avgörande betydelse för att lösa Japans svåra energisituation.

Japan brottas med stora miljöutmaningar som engagerar Hiroshi Amano. Sedan kränkraftshaveriet i Fukushima 2011 är alla japanska kärnkraftverk nedstänga, och landet tvingas till stor import av fossila bränslen som smutsar ner miljön.

Hiroshi Amano fick i år Nobelpriset i fysik tillsammans med Isamu Akasaki och Shuji Nakamura för uppfinningen av den blå lysdioden, som är grunden för dagens ledlampor som är mycket mer energisnåla än glödlampor och lysrör.

Amano har räknat ut att om alla japaner bytte ut sina gamla lampor mot ledlampor skulle landets el-förbrukning minska med över sju procent.
