At time 9:10-9:15 there is an English explanation. At time 9:30-9:35 the same explanation is repeated. At time 9:16-9:29 there is a Japanese sentence about a riddle about a pan that is too hard to eat. There is no English translation. Thanks John C. Briggs Dear Audio editor,

This is a very famous riddle in antiquity, which we from around the Mediterranean know as Oedipus's riddle - supposedly asked by the Sphinx. Sophocles (born 495 b.c) uses it in the play Oedipus Rex, one of the most important in Ancient Greek literature and in the history theatre in general. I'd like to know how it travelled to Japan, as it is unlikely to have originated independently. Does anyone know ? mikuji Regarding the riddle in the informal track.

Yoshi played both the old man and the gangster! And so this time, Yoshi played not only Bre'r Rabbit, but Bre'r Fox as well. And yes, the word play simply does not translate into English for the riddle. Wow! Yoshi played both the old man and the gangster!

Strange stories with weird voices are two of the main reasons I started learning Japanese. No, really. You know, Anime/Manga stories with weird talking animals, robots etc. I've been interested in them since kodomonokoro. Loved it!
