Some of you might be interested in this recent podcast appearance I did, if only to hear me squirm when trying to answer questions that are more self-focused than I am usually comfortable with.

Eric Oliver is an academic focused on issues of Self and also an early supporter of our podcast. 

Also of note, the bio provided for me in the podcast (and the picture above) is taken from an Oxford site that hasn't been updated in years so is a little out of date. I haven't actually been demoted or moved back to Sapporo. Or have I?

In any case, an interesting change of pace.

Very enjoyable chat and good to hear you’re the same slightly sarcastic Irishman (sorry about the slightly) as on DtG and other appearances. Eric’s a good questioner and enjoyed the spirit of the convo. Thanks for this.

This was great, thanks. I told my spouse, while we were visiting Tokyo last December, that I would buy you a pint if I encountered you in the streets... Alas, there was no Irishman in sight! ;)

You look different with proper lighting 😂

Still pretty chilly in Tokyo this time of year. Nothing compared to Sapporo though.

Always after a theologian, in one way or another at least 😉
