Before I sign off for the holidays, here’s an interview I really enjoyed doing, from the excellent Stone Bridge Podcast.
Stone Bridge Press publish The Anime Encyclopedia, and published the first book in English about Hayao Miyazaki in 1999. The new edition, updated to include the most recent (never say the last!) Miyazaki film, is now in process of publication at McFarland. Their wide-ranging list is reflected in a podcast with witty, wise and engaging discussions on topics ranging from kanji, Japanese gardens and wild foraging to sake and strolling the streets of Tokyo.
Check it out on YouTube – it’s a great way to unwind and learn at the same time.
