    GOFEST 2024 ANNOUNCED, NEW Visual Updates & How LATE is TOO LATE?

    GOFEST 2024 ANNOUNCED, NEW Visual Updates & How LATE is TOO LATE?

    This week,

    We dive into the complexities of social etiquette with a thought-provoking question: "How late is too late to cancel plans with someone?" The hosts share their perspectives on navigating the delicate balance between commitments and personal boundaries.

    The episode buzzes with energy as the hosts recount their experiences and triumphs during the recent Charged Up Research Day event. With laughter and camaraderie, they explore the highs and challenges of the event, offering listeners both entertainment and valuable insights.

    Shifting gears to the news segment, the hosts unveil a lineup of exciting events in the Pokémon GO universe. They discuss the upcoming Kyogre and Groudon Raid Days, dissecting strategies for trainers gearing up for these powerful encounters. The BIG reveal follows as the hosts enthusiastically share the news of GOFest 2024, detailing dates, locations, and the anticipation building for both in-person and global events. Weather Week takes stage right, and the hosts guide trainers through what to expect during this atmospheric if not, mediocre adventure.

    Injecting a playful note into the episode, the hosts engage in a lively round of "What The Ducklett," showcasing their Pokémon knowledge and adding an interactive element for listeners. 

    A dynamic discussion ensues as the hosts explore the upcoming visual changes to the game's graphics, sharing their excitement for the enhanced visual experience that awaits Pokémon GO enthusiasts.

    The episode reaches its climax with the reveal of Mark's Poll results, unveiling community sentiments on a carefully chosen topic. Closing on a high note, the hosts present YOUR #ShiniesOfTheWeek," celebrating the vibrant catches submitted by the Pokémon GO community.

    Shamisen: Musical Sounds of Traditional Japan ft. Norm Nakamura of Tokyo Lens

    The Krewe is back! Season 4 is going to be bigger and better, debuting with a musical journey with the shamisen. Jenn & Doug took about a year getting this special guest onto the podcast, and they're thrilled to finally welcome Norm Nakamura of the YouTube channel Tokyo Lens to share his passion and love of shamisen with the world. Norm’s fascination for the shamisen went beyond admiring the sound, as he actually learned the instrument thanks to many people, like the Yoshida Brothers, who helped grow his skills and interest. Norm shares his journey of learning the shamisen and gives the listener a glimpse at how special and unique of an instrument it is. This podcast episode was well-worth the wait... enjoy!
