In the next episode of Supernatural Japan, we dive into a bizarre and unsettling story that's recently made headlines across Asia. Host Kevin O'Shea sits down with journalist Jay Allen, founder of Unseen Japan, to discuss his investigation into a decades-old manga (私が見た未来 - The Future I've Seen) that has resurfaced and sparked fear among Hong Kong tourists. The comic warns of a massive tsunami set to strike Japan in July—an eerie prophecy that's gone viral and convinced some travelers to cancel their trips. Is this a case of uncanny foresight, mass hysteria, or just a strange twist in Japan's long tradition of apocalyptic folklore? Tune in as we explore the intersection of pop culture, paranoia, and the supernatural.Read Jay's article about this topic on Unseen Japan:https://unseen-japan.com/manga-july-disaster-tourism/Support the podcast (Help fund the creation of new episodes):https://buymeacoffee.com/busankevinFollow the podcast: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/supernaturaljapanBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/madformaple.bsky.socialX: https://x.com/MadForMapleFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61551918404228&mibextid=LQQJ4dEmail: supernaturaljapan@gmail.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BusanKevinNEW podcast companion blogs! https://justjapanstuff.com/Website: https://supernaturaljapan.buzzsprout.com

Scientists think they might have found a planet that is "brimming with life," and we're pretty sure whoever lives there is way smarter than earthlings. We learn about a climber who had to be rescued twice in one week because he forgot his phone on the mountain. And we discuss a vintage story about a hiker who was lost and couldn't be rescued because when first responders called him he didn't pick up because he didn't recognize the number. We debate whether it was appropriate for a tennis player to tell her opponent to put on deodorant. We discuss the Oklahoma City bombing documentary, and how hearing the stories of the survivors helped portray the scope of loss. Susie is worried about a kind of hornet that is making its home in her town, and Sarah thinks they might be government drones or psyops. A town in Finland calls itself the home of Santa, but residents are fed up with all the tourists. We consider the backlash about tourism around the world and what's really driving it.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:Cancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster at https://rocketmoney.com/braincandyVisit https://shopbeam.com/braincandy and use code BRAINCANDY to get our exclusive discount of up to 35% off.For 50% off your order, head to https://www.dailylook.com and use code BRAINCANDYGet 40% off your first box PLUS get a free item in every box for life.

Glendalough is one of Ireland's most iconic and picturesque destinations. Its medieval monastery and stunning mountain landscape attract around one million tourists every year. However behind the postcard-perfect scenery lies a history that rarely makes it into the tourist brochures.In this episode, I veer off the well-trodden paths to uncover the real stories of Glendalough: stories of violence, exploitation, and transformation that have shaped the valley for centuries. This includes its early medieval history as a 'military industrial complex' and a very special interview with Robbie Carter - a former lead miner in the area.This episode will change the way you see one of Ireland's most famous historic sites.The podcast features Frank Tracy, Graeme Warren, Margaret Duff Garvey Pat Reid and Robbie Carter.

Let's talk about Canadian tourists, Trump, declines, and billions....

"Sprinter" The Florida-born Cat Ridgeway is speeding into national prominence. Or, to be more specific, she's sprinting there. Ridgeway's new album Sprinter is an adrenalized blast of hook-filled rock and roll, howling blues and scruffy pop that's one of the most refreshing listens of the year. A commanding presence with charisma to burn, Ridgeway, along with her band the Tourists, are full of a howling punk-rock electricity that summons everyone from the White Stripes to the Foo Fighters. Now Ridgeway is a self-taught musician who plays harmonica, trumpet, trombone, mandolin, bass, piano and guitar and that's incredibly impressive, but having spoken to her, she has an autodidact streak that runs through her life. Hence the reference I made to coffee earlier, but I'll let Cat tell you all about that. Named Orlando's Best Singer-Songwriter for the last three years, Ridgeway has played with Houndmouth, Arcade Fire and Lucy Dacus and she's no stranger to playing music festivals around the country. She's a typhoon of positive energy and you're going to love her. www.catridgewaymusic.com (http://www.catridgewaymusic.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) Stereo Embers Bluesky + IG: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

"So those bastards bumped the bridge down so that nobody could use it, and the locals got pissed off at that 'cause they enjoyed having a bridge. So they rebuilt it."This trip was one of the most fun and immersive ones we've recorded so far. Pai has this laid-back charm and unexpected beauty that really took us by surprise.Adrie and I take you along as we explore some of Pai's must-see spots — and wow, what a day. We started with the National Park Hot Springs, where the water gets hot enough to boil eggs (or a human, seriously). Then we checked out the WWII Memorial Bridge (Nara Bridge), which has a surprisingly cool history behind it. After that, we made our way across the Bamboo Bridge, a nearly 1-kilometer-long structure built for the ‘Gram, complete with swings, hearts, and even a ladder to nowhere. Finally, we wrapped things up at the breathtaking — and slightly terrifying — Pai Canyon for sunset. It was beautiful, hilarious, a bit slippery, and definitely memorable. If you're heading to Pai or just want to know what it's really like, this one's for you.Key TakeawaysPai Hot Springs are natural and beautiful, but can be dangerous — always check temperatures and wear grippy shoes.Respect local customs — the hot springs are used by locals, so be clean and mindful (no peeing, no weed, no booze!).Tha Pai Memorial Bridge has a rich WWII history — rebuilt multiple times and now a perfect selfie stop.Bamboo Bridge is a modern tourist gem, filled with photo ops — hearts, swings, and “ladder to nowhere” included.Pai Canyon offers stunning views, but be prepared for narrow paths, sheer drops, and zero handrails — not for the faint-hearted.Chapters & Timestamps[00:02:00] Cultural Tips + Slippery Rocks Lo"Send me a message!"7 Bridges Brewing Co. - An award winning Vietnamese craft brewery from Da Nang, with breweries across Vietnam!Rabbit Hole Irish Sports Bar - Check out their new location on Tran Nao with the best views in the city over Landmark 81!

President Trump may have taken a softer tone in his meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney this week, but whether that will quell the anger and bring Canadians back to the U.S remains to be seen. California tourism experts cite Trump's trade policies and nationalist rhetoric for a projected 9% drop in international travelers this summer, with the sharpest declines among Canadian and Mexican tourists who spend more here than tourists from any other country. We look at how the Trump administration is affecting California tourism and hear from you: Has anyone told you they won't be visiting the U.S. this year?

Van Genugten shares what it was like being among the first Westerners allowed back into Pyongyang, navigating both awkward influencer hype and deeply personal moments of connection with North Korean guides. He also discusses the ethics of content creation in authoritarian contexts and how Pyongyang seems to be subtly shifting its messaging on unification.

TRENZ, New Zealand's largest international tourism event, just wrapped up - bringing over 1200 travel buyers from 26 countries into the city. Rotorua mayor Tania Tapsell disagrees with the claims that the city is 'dead' and says the city is 'smashing it' in regards to tourism.

In this episode, we dig into the current situation in Thailand's tourism scene—why so many businesses in Bangkok may be struggling, rising prices, and whether the country is chasing the wrong type of tourist. From nightlife trends in Sukhumvit to overpriced rooftop bars, we discuss where all the tourists have gone, why the cost of living has soared, and how Thai locals and foreigners are reacting.

Some people remember the battles of the Vietnam War from headlines in the 1960s and 1970s, others from movies and history books, and others as a place where loved ones passed away. But today, Vietnam's battlefields are pilgrimage destinations for veterans and tourists. - Alcuni ricordano le battaglie della guerra del Vietnam dai titoli dei giornali degli anni '60 e '70, altri dai film e dai libri di storia, altri come luogo in cui persone care sono decedute.

The Frick and Frack of facts and fun, David Waldman and Greg Dworkin close out the month with today's KITM. Hoo boy are the next 100 days going to be awful. The Trump Tariffs Tsunami has begun to reach landfall and will be lapping over our hairlines in only weeks. Tourists are staying away in droves. Americans don't support Donald K. Trump on the economy. They don't support him on a lot of things. In fact, Americans don't support Trump on so many levels, that if they had any other viable choice than Democrats to pick from, they'd have already fled to whomever that would be… even so, Trump is feeling pretty threatened. Like any wild animal, Trump has an instinctual defense ready: stupid lies. The more he's threatened, the more lies, and the more stupidity until Trump's pursuer gives up, or until Karoline Leavitt saves him. Karoline has her work cut out for her, as Trump would have dug all the way to ‘Gina in his ABC interview had Terry Moran only allowed him to. She-Wolf of the DOJ, Pam Bondi, will tell you that Donald personally saved the lives of one third of the United States population in only 100 days. I mean, what more can you ask? Trump says he “could” bring Abrego Garcia back from El Salvador, but doesn't feel like it. A Fortune 500 company fired their lawyer who helped an immigrant family. The Turner Diaries is the MAGA Constitution. El Salvador is in it for the money, crypto money, and by coincidence so is the Trump family.  Believe it or not, Trump has a trust problem in the courts. Trump's lawyers aren't helping by being assholes. LeBron James of lawyers, Steven Biskupic, will be defending the Judge arrested by Trump's FBI. Steven's LeBron James of a sister will be reporting.

Pack your curiosity and a bottle of holy water as we head deep into the jungles of Cambodia to explore the ancient, majestic, and hilariously mysterious temple of Angkor Wat! In this episode, host Nitten Nair guides you through its mythological roots, spiritual vibes, godly architecture, and the occasional tuk-tuk ride gone wrong.From tales of Vishnu reclining in cosmic confidence to divine construction crews led by Indra himself, we unravel the many layers of Angkor Wat's sacred stonework. Discover the best ways to get there, what to look out for (other than sunstroke), the ideal time to travel, and the temple's powerful place in cultural history. Also—spoiler alert—there are heavenly nymphs and cosmic tug-of-wars involved.Whether you're a mythology geek, a travel junkie, or just in it for the jokes and good vibes, this episode will leave you inspired, laughing, and spiritually sun-kissed.

This week we look at Italy, Election in Canada, Australian Abortion; the retirement of Klaus Schwab; Terrorists kill Tourists in Kashmir; Is Katy Perry an Astronaut?  Are Irish hairdressers the key to climate change?  Ed Miliband's Hypocrisy; Teen Vogue on being Ecosexual; Is Have I Got News For You - funny?   The IMF forecast for global economy; The Minecraft Music; Reading Chickens; the death of the Pope; Allah Sees Everything - including how you vote in the UK; Maggie Chapman and Trans Hysteria;  Keir Starmer on Women - Before and After;  Banks Bullying Mumsnet; Brigend Council promotes perversion to school children; Two tier justice in the UK - Bradford and the Met Police; Catholic Church grows in France; Feedback and Final Word; Fraser Nelson on Religion in the UK;  with music from Blue Oyster Cult, Verdi, Elton John, the Barbershop Quartet, Jack Black, Warren Zevon, and the All Souls Orchestra. 

Just when tourism season was picking up, the terror strike left hundreds of families in uncertainty. Many locals concede that recovery is unlikely this year.

Hello!Italian food: What comes to mind first when you hear this? A Neapolitan pizza, warm with bubbly tomato sauce and mozarella? A cotoletta alla Milanese, or a Roman cacio e pepe pasta? A lovely bottle of chianti wine or a pasta pesto?But for all our knowledge -or lack of - how did the food of the Italian peninsula came to be? And why it become so popular?In his new book, "Al Dente - A History of Food in Italy" Fabio Parasecoli writes "Foodies are enraptured by its endless diversity and its capacity to intrigue and to always offer something new and ‘hot'. Tourists and travellers, often pleasantly surprised by their meals and the warm manners that surround them, end up projecting healthy amounts of romanticism on to dishes and ingredients, enriching Italian food with their own desires and longings. Writers also do their bit to perpetuate the myth..."So who's better to explain the food history of Italy and what it means other than Fabio Paresecoli himself?Let's listen to him, today!The paperback edition of the book is out on 1st of May and you can pre-order here:https://reaktionbooks.co.uk/work/al-denteFind more about Fabio on his website here:https://fabioparasecoli.com/about/EnjoyThom & The Delicious LegacySupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-delicious-legacy.

Tourists are obnoxious...unless you're one of them. We all want adventure, but every adventure happens in someone else's backyard. Hawai'i knows this better than anyplace. This episode is part two (of a two-part series) about what I learned from my travels in Hawai'i.
