Episode 91 – Japanese Folklore
Summary: In this episode, Cody and Chris head east (or west?) to bring you folklore from Japan. First, Chris talks about Japanese monsters known as Yokai and focuses on the Makuragaeshi-a mostly malevolent creature that tricks people by flipping their pillows (gasp!). Then, Cody shares another type of Yokai called Tsukumogami, or a regular household object that comes to life after 100 years. Next, Chris discusses water creatures called Kappa that obsess over a bejeweled lifeforce contained within the human butthole. You read that right. Finally, Cody talks about the Heikegani crab, a real creature that appears to have a Samurai mask coming out of its back. Drinks this week are Ramune Soda and (an accidental) Raspberry Sparkletini.<br> <a href="https://app.podcastguru.io/podcast/BSP-Believer-Skeptic-Podcast-1271588099" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a> <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/bsp-the-idio-t-synchrasy-files/id1271588099" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a> <a href="https://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=152948&refid=stpr" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a> <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/2KABdOWLoGTpEt5arLIZR7" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a> <a href="https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5ic3BvZHBoeC5jb20vZmVlZC9wb2RjYXN0Lw?sa=X&ved=0CAMQ4aUDahcKEwiI_vG1u7rvAhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQBA" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a> <a href="https://www.blubrry.com/bsp_the_idiotsynchrasy_files/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a><br> <br> Advisory: 0s-:20s<br> Intro Music: :20s-:46s<br> Topic: :46s-3:25M<br> Drinks: 3:25m-5:25m<br> History: 5:25m-11:15m<br> Makuragaeshi: 11:15m-17:18m<br> Tsukumogami: 17:18m-25:24m<br> Commercial: 25:24m-25:54m<br> Kappa: 25:54m-33:00m<br> Heikegani Crabs: 33:00m-37:32m<br> Believer: 37:32m-40:00m<br> Skeptic: 40:00m-43:23m <br> Creep of the Week: 43:23m-45:26m<br> Sign Off: 45:26m-46:37m<br> Outro Music: 46:37m-46:58m<br> <br> Original Music: “Halloween Pumpkin” found at <a href="https://www.purple-planet.com">https://www.purple-planet.com</a><br> <br> To find other strange podcasts, follow our network: <a href="https://podmoth.network/">https://podmoth.network/</a><br> <br> Trailer from The Mustachioed Podcastio<br> <br> Links<br> <br> History-<br> <a href="https://www.jrpass.com/blog/folktales-of-japan#:~:text=Japan's%20folktales%20and%20mythology%20were,powerful%20sun%20goddess%20of%20Japan">https://www.jrpass.com/blog/folktales-of-japan#:~:text=Japan's%20folktales%20and%20mythology%20were,powerful%20sun%20goddess%20of%20Japan</a>.<br> <a href="https://www.encyclopedia.com/humanities/news-wires-white-papers-and-books/japanese-mythology">https://www.encyclopedia.com/humanities/news-wires-white-papers-and-books/japanese-mythology</a><br> <br> Tsukomogami-<br> <a href="https://cryptidz.fandom.com/wiki/Kasa-Obake">https://cryptidz.fandom.com/wiki/Kasa-Obake</a><br> <a href="https://mysideofthelaundryroom.wordpress.com/2017/07/24/kasa-obake/">https://mysideofthelaundryroom.wordpress.com/2017/07/24/kasa-obake/</a><br> <a href="https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Tsukumogami">https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Tsukumogami</a><br> <a href="https://thewillowweb.com/2016/02/18/tsukumogami-japans-household-spirits/">https://thewillowweb.com/2016/02/18/tsukumogami-japans-household-spirits/</a><br> <br> Makuragaeshi-<br> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makuragaeshi">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makuragaeshi</a><br> <a href="http://yokai.com/makuragaeshi/">http://yokai.com/makuragaeshi/</a><br> <a href="http://matthewmeyer.net/blog/2013/10/20/a-yokai-a-day-makura-gaeshi/">http://matthewmeyer.net/blog/2013/10/20/a-yokai-a-day-makura-gaeshi/</a><br> <br> Heikegani <br> <a href="https://listverse.com/2010/01/20/10-bizarre-creatures-from-japanese-folklore/">https://listverse.</a>
