Host Dave Stewart welcomes Indiana University folklore professor Michael Dylan Foster for a wide-ranging discussion of monsters and demons. First we talk about fear, and this segues into anecdotes from Professor Foster on his travels in Scotland, working on a scallop farm there, and then, years later, finding himself in Japan near a scallop farm. After learning Japanese, Foster embarks on a study of the culture of Yokai. A fascinating look into Japanese monsters and the culture of Yokai.
