We’ve been talking about doing a “tech in Asia” online show for at least a couple of years, but the moment never seemed right in terms of format, etc. Now that Z3N is up and running, it seemed like a good time to finally get this thing going. The first episode is essentially a beta, with all the rough edges and earnest fumblings one might expect, but we think it’s worth a listen.

In this episode we cover how the tech world is responding to doing business in post-earthquake Japan; comparisons between business cycles of 9/11 and 3/11; and what to make of Japan needing U.S. robots for the Fukushima nuclear disaster.

Host: Adario Strange, Guest: Heather Russell – CEO of Rinkya.com
