*UAB NihongoCast,* http://www.uab.edu/foreignlang/nihongocast/, the online version of Japanese 101 at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, a joint production of the UAB Departments of Foreign Languages and Literatures, Communication Studies, and Theatre, taught by Tim Cook of Georgia Public Broadcasting's *Irasshai.*
