Manga in Your EarsTop Manga of 2023Shohei Ohtani signed a record sports contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and there was much consternation on its structure. I for one am annoyed that I still can't watch him on TV and happy that I can just go to most any game I want to see him.

Taiiku MoviesBrian Henson: The Muppet Christmas CarolThe White Sox just signed Erick Fedde, who won KBO's equivalent of the Cy Young, the Choi Dong-won award. Which leads me to a curious question of why do not all dominant Korean or Japanese pitchers who win these awards get these contract offers from MLB teams? The answer is probably more politic or contract related, rather than assumed skill.
This episode, Kory (@taiikumenco) stumbles through leading Chris (@gokuffy), Chris (@antoniuspius), and special guest Dawn (@bunnycartoon) through The Muppet's Christmas Carol.

written one of these for Taiiku in a while. My fledgling mango podcast
is doing alright I guess, and I'm writing some introduction over there
every two weeks, but this is a monthly podcast so I feel like it's been

Taiiku MoviesSanshiro SugataWelcome to a teaser of Taiiku Movies. For those who have been listening to the Taiiku Podcast for a while, this won't be new. But for those finding a random movies podcast, we did a lot of podcasts on various movies before I separated them to different feeds.
