My guest for this episode is author and podcaster Thersa Matsuura, who joined me to talk about her new publication, The Book of Japanese Folklore: An Encyclopedia of the Spirits, Monsters, and Yokai of Japanese Myth. After a childhood living all over the U.S. - as far north as Fairbanks, Alaska and as far south as Jacksonville, Florida, Thersa moved to Japan to study. She would eventually settle there and has now lived over half her life in a fishing town in the country. Her fluency in Japanese allows her to do research into parts of the culture - legends, folktales, and superstitions - that are little known to western audiences. A lot of what she digs up informs her writing or becomes fodder for her podcast, Uncanny Japan. Thersa is the author of two short story collections, A Robe of Feathers and Other Stories and The Carp-Faced Boy and Other Tales, the latter being a finalist for the Bram Stoker Award in 2017. She's had stories published in various magazines, anthologies and serialized in the Asahi English Newspaper. I begin the interview by talking with Thersa about the events that initially took her to Japan and what those early experiences of living in a new country were like. We also discuss the cultural history of the country and how that has influenced and is expressed in the relationship between it's people, the natural world and the supernatural. From there we focus on Thersa's new book itself, exploring some of the beings that are featured in it, which range from mythical versions of historical figures, through to supernatural foxes and wolves, giant spiders and full on Lovecraftian horrors. We round off things talking about ghosts and Thersa shares some of her own uncanny experiences. You can find out more about Thersa, her writing and podcast at her website https://thersamatsuura.com/.

Podcast Rodeo  Podcast Reviews and First Impressions

DescriptionPodcast Rodeo Show: Reviews and First Impressions of Your Podcast Listen to a fine collection of surreal and hilarious AI-generated short stories read by Bram Stoker Award Finalist and Clarion West 2015 Graduate Thersa Matsuura and sound designer Rich Pav. Check it out https://uncannyrobotpodcast.com/ (https://uncannyrobotpodcast.com/) What I Liked About This EpisodeThe introduction let me know what was coming. The audio quality was good (especially for only being their 2nd podcast). I loved that they were going to provide some "behind the scenes" and they are going to do it toward the end of the show (which keeps the stories at the front) I love that this is original. It's not a movie review, true crime, bro-cast, etc. It ticks one of the signs of a good podcast which is, "Information you can't get anyplace else." What I Thought Could Use Some PolishingThe introduction of the first episode was a lil' clunky. It sounded like you were winging it. You're talking about last week's show, but you couldn't remember what it was.... I would've stopped, regrouped, and taken another stab at it. As this was the second episode, this is somewhat normal, and probably a little bit of nerves. You did a great job of introducing the second story. So the intro (after the voice-over person) could be as simple as: Rich: "Hey, Thersa." Thersa, "Hey Rich, What do you have today?" Rich: "I've got an AI story about Elvis being alive. How about you? Thersa: "I've got a story about Jim Morrison" Where should we start? Then you pick a story and go (and make sure not to spoil the story). The Elvis story pulled me in, but it started to lose me when it went into stalker mode. The Goal Of This ShowThis podcast rodeo show aims to help you make the best episodes and grow your downloads.
