Ever wonder how Japanese tattoos went from sacred symbols to signs of crime—and back again? Grab your matcha and settle in, because we're diving deep (and painfully) into the history of Yakuza tattoos. From ancient fishermen warding off sea monsters to the full-body masterpieces of Edo Japan, this episode of For the Love of History gets under your skin—literally. TK takes us on a wild ride through Japan's criminal ink, exploring the ancient roots of irezumi, the artistry behind traditional hand-tapped tattoos, and how Japan's obsession with “purity” turned body art into a mark of shame. Spoiler: chisels were involved. (Yes, chisels.) You'll learn how: Ancient fishermen believed tattoos could protect them from giant man-eating fish

Federico Rampini"La lezione del Giappone"Il Paese che anticipa le sfide dell'OccidenteMondadori Editorewww.mondadori.itIl mondo sta riscoprendo il Giappone. Un sintomo è il boom di visitatori, che sconvolge un paese poco abituato all'overtourism. È una riscoperta che ha molte facce. La rinascita dell'industria nipponica è quasi invisibile, nascosta in prodotti ad altissima tecnologia di cui nessuno può fare a meno. Più vistoso è invece il «soft power» di Tokyo, che dilaga da decenni nella cultura di massa: dai manga agli anime, dai videogame alla letteratura, dal cinema al J-pop, adolescenti e adulti occidentali assorbono influenze nipponiche talvolta senza neppure saperlo. Il sushi è ormai globale quanto la pizza. Se si elencano tutte le mode nate nel Sol Levante, colpisce un'analogia con quel che fu l'Inghilterra dei Beatles negli anni Sessanta. Persino la sua spiritualità, dallo shintoismo al buddismo zen, ha esercitato una presa potente su noi occidentali, anticipando l'ambientalismo e il culto della natura come «divinità diffusa». Il Giappone è soprattutto un laboratorio d'avanguardia per le massime sfide del nostro tempo: fu il primo a conoscere denatalità, decrescita demografica, aumento della longevità. Dentro le soluzioni che sperimenta per invecchiare bene c'è una lezione per tutti noi. Federico Rampini, che lo frequenta da oltre quarant'anni, ci guida in questo viaggio fra i misteri di una civiltà antichissima e affascinante, un paese che condensa modernità e rispetto della tradizione come nessun altro, e ciononostante deve far fronte a numerosi paradossi: il paradiso delle buone maniere può essere vissuto come una prigione di conformismo, tanto che alcuni decidono di scomparire, evaporando nel nulla. E come conciliare i tassi di criminalità più bassi del mondo con l'esistenza della temuta mafia Yakuza? Anche la sua centralità geopolitica è fondamentale. Ottant'anni di dibattito sull'atomica acquistano una prospettiva nuova, quando li si ricostruisce da Hiroshima. Per non parlare del futuro della Cina e della sfida che essa lancia all'Occidente: nessuno è in grado di decifrarlo meglio dei giapponesi, che hanno millecinquecento anni di esperienza. Il Sol Levante, inoltre, è stato il primo a sperimentare i fulmini del protezionismo americano, fin dagli anni Settanta, ispirando Donald Trump. In un mondo in cui sempre più paesi riscoprono il capitalismo di Stato, le politiche industriali, la geoeconomia, la lezione del Giappone, preziosa quanto silenziosa, è la mappa di un futuro che riguarda tutti noi.Federico Rampini, editorialista del «Corriere della Sera», è stato vicedirettore del «Sole 24 Ore» e corrispondente de «la Repubblica» a Parigi, Bruxelles, San Francisco, Pechino e New York. Ha insegnato alle università di Berkeley, Shanghai e alla Sda Bocconi. È membro del Council on Foreign Relations, think tank americano di relazioni internazionali. Come esperto di geopolitica è public speaker per The European House – Ambrosetti. Ha pubblicato più di venti saggi di successo, molti tradotti in altre lingue, come i bestseller Il secolo cinese (Mondadori 2005) e L'impero di Cindia (Mondadori 2006). Tra i più recenti, Fermare Pechino (Mondadori 2021), Suicidio occidentale (Mondadori 2022), La speranza africana (Mondadori 2023) e Grazie, Occidente!(Mondadori 2024).

The spooky season is finally upon us. Every day another yard is covered in Halloween decorations and the autumn leaves. The fall jackets come out as the temperatures drop, at least they would if Global Warming wasn't real. The calendar tells me its October, but Mother Nature is telling me to keep wearing shorts! Honestly, the weather doesn't matter because the Grinders podcast can be enjoyed anywhere at any time.  You can listen to Grinders while trick or treating. Don't worry. We won't blow your cover. Just say the gray hair is a part of the costume. Collecting candy while listening to the latest gaming news, sounds like a happy holiday to me. The holiday will be even better for fans of the Yakuza series who can look forward to some upcoming releases. Fans of Nioh, Code Vein, and The Seven Deadly Sins can look forward to 2026 for new releases, it's only scary if you hate waiting. For the parents who are escorting their children as they beg old people for candy. While you are driving slowly, enjoying your beer, is the perfect time to listen to Stinkos! You could be at home, drinking in peace. Instead, you are just hoping your kid gets some good candy, that you plan on stealing in their sleep. You might need those treats to power through yet another price increase from Microsoft. If a bad economy and corporate greed don't get us, Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi might. Even worse that getting pennies in your bag is the Fed spending our tax dollars to protect dictators while ignoring natural disasters here at home. Even more gross than someone giving out open pieces of candy corn, are the actions of ICE. I know I am making jokes, but they are deadly problem. Cowards who have been emboldened to attack the people they have always dreamed of hurting. Sick fucks.  With such horrible Stinkos, we need some Sweetos to light up our ol' hallows night. Almost as good as finding the one neighborhood that gives out full sized candy bars! Or if you are like Frank, a huge pot bud. Unlike MAGA who is very unpleased with Dear Leaders opinions on marijuana. If they weren't already unhappy, announcing Bad Bunny for the Superbowl has made all of MAGA even less happy. Not quite as happy as Break feels for the future of his favorite baseball team.  As the night of begging finally ends, the parents can finally have some fun. Put the children to bed, raid their candy bags, put on your sexiest Halloween costume, and listen to an episode of RPGrinders!                                                         HAPPY HALLOWEEN!                                                                   Favorite Sexy outfit?   Winnie the Sexy Pooh?

The "where are the games?!" crowd is having a bad week, because PlayStation's most recent State of Play showed that plenty is indeed incoming for your PS5. For starters, Insomniac's long-dormant Wolverine has reemerged. Revealed four years ago and having clearly gone through some tribulations behind-the-scenes, Wolverine is slated for PlayStation 5 next fall, and it looks violent and grisly in all the right ways. Coming sooner from first party, however, is Housemarque's Returnal sequel Saros, launching in March of '26. It looks awesome, and we're to get back to shootin'. But as if these two games didn't give us enough to talk about, there's more: Microsoft Flight Simulator is the next Xbox-aligned game PS5-bound (with Forza Horizon 6 somewhere behind it), the original Deus Ex is getting the remaster treatment, a God of War DualSense has been revealed in recognition of the franchise's 20th anniversary, Kojima both revealed a Physint poster and showed off his new horror title OD, and much more. Then: Listener inquiries! What's going on with the PS5 Pro's many technical issues? Will NetEase's F2P game Ananta be as insane as it seems? Why do we have such a problem with the premise of licensed games? Is Boar's Head's fine deli meat becoming too expensive for the average consumer?

Download Episode 1080 – Tokyo Game Show week means we have way too much to talk about and nowhere near enough time for it. So let’s do it!The show kicks off with Jacob Garner, Bri Galgano, and Aki on hand to hang out listen to me talk about my KFC Bowl and my delicious Mtn Dew Sweet Lightning. Oh and games! Sony State of Play happened with Saros, Chronoscript, NIOH 3, and WOLVERINE which looks absolutely insane. Xbox had a TGS showcase with a new GunGrave, Romancing SaGa 2 on Xbox, and a Forza Horizon 6 LOGO!! Plus a potential EA sale, ROG Ally X and more Xbox pricing, Doug Bowser leaving Nintendo, Avatar getting new DLC, Yakuza releases, and Scared Stiff coming to Pinball FX for some Ball Squad fun! All that plus reviews including Bri’s take on Borderlands 4, graciously provided to us by the folks at Xbox.
