About the Episode

We’re joined again by Charly (our guest in episode #46), who tells us all about Yōkai in Japanese folklore. Yōkai are supernatural identities who range from cute and fairly harmless, to mischievous and downright terrifying. You might also recognise some of them from modern culture, including Pokemon and Animal Crossing!
