    Hi friends, welcome to the first SPECIAL EPISODE of Yocast!

    The word chelsea was trying to think of is "Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher". I love German so much.

    Hello friends! We come to you in this very hot and sticky summer to talk about all things Japanese folklore. As the note at the start of the episode indicates, we're having some mic issues, and really appreciate your patience and NOT turning the podcast off immediately after my dulcet tones blow out the levels for the 15th time. We're still definitely working out the kinks!

    Main sources for this episode include:
