262-Japanese Folklore: Fatal Attraction

Myths and Legends - A podcast by Jason Weiser, Carissa Weiser, Nextpod - Mercoledì

Categorie:

Three stories from Japan about love gone wrong. On the first, the fairest youth in all the land is set to marry the daughter of a rich noble. The problem? His father kind of oversold his looks... On the second, we'll see why moths and other nighttime bugs go toward the light, and on the third, a lovelorn samurai meets a woman from his past he thought was long gone. The creature just wants you to chill out and stop trying to kill its friends...or else it will make you swell up in horrifying and painful places. -- Fictional this week is a prescient sci-fi tale of isolation and redemption.
