- This podcast is the best!❣️❣️
I love learning about creatures of myth and folklore, and this podcast is perfect for just that! I think my favorite episode so far is the Kitsune one. I’ve always loved foxes, so a shapeshifting fox spirit? 💖💖💖
I also really enjoyed the one about the Nekomata. The way the cat monsters tail splits towards the end gives me Espeon vibes. I really love it when a monster is clearly the inspiration for a Pokémon!
