The Perfect Show: Recent Episodes
Scot Maupin
The Perfect Show is cataloging the perfect things in life, one by one. Join me each episode as I examine a new experience or thing selected by myself or a guest.
This episode Scot dives into the world of compliments, via the story of a pair of pink shoes. What’s so special about pink shoes? Scot explores how they act as a magnet for compliments, and what is even going on there.
Scot also ventures into some new territory by going to a local punk show and meeting a band there. Hear his voyage into live music for the first time since college, and discover a strong connection between pink shoes and punk shows that wasn’t obvious at the beginning.
Special thanks to listener Steven, Jeff Clemens (https://twitter.com/jclemy) , and of course Nicole, Jerry, Julio and Israel, aka Rival Squad for the interview and introduction to punk.

For this episode, Scot talks sports! One sport in particular. A Japanese sport that may be new to you. It’s the wonderful game of Park Golf, and we give it a glowing deep dive.
Small club, big ball, rubber tee, and you’re ready to hit the course. Listen to stories about Park Golf from Japan and adventures I have in America.
I talk with Kris Beyer Jones from Destroyer Park Golf for an interview with the first park golf course in America, and some of my usual unusual hijinks with my friends Jeff Clemens and Alex Yocum.

This episode Scot revisits stories of the most amazing building he’s ever been to, the Taj Mahal, and the magic that happens to it during an Indian sunrise.

This episode is a special one. Scot is going to dive into the story of Morena, the place The Perfect Show’s studio is named after, and recounts the story of one of the most amazing places he ever found in Japan. The story wanders to Indian restaurants, Hokkaido festival life, and Dr. Pepper.

This episode Scot explores being in Japan for the opening of Mononoke Hime (Princess Mononoke) in 1997, and trying to see it again before it was available in the US. Mononoke Hime was Scot’s introduction to the animated movies of Hayao Miyazaki and began a life-long appreciation for his work and films.
Special thanks to Ben Reburn for being on this episode briefly.

In this episode, Scot takes a quick break from format for a few announcements and to introduce a new Halloween song: The Haunted House Song. I also learned how to do video editing by making a music video for it! It’s silly and dumb and I’m also very proud of it.

In this episode, Scot tries to convince a friend to chase down a perfect drive on the perfect stretch of road, and things don’t go completely according to plan.
Even if you don’t know this stretch of road yourself, I hope this episode brings you fond memories of whichever stretches of road are your own pieces of perfection.
