You Kansai That Again, Mr. Jackson - a podcast by Joe

This was a behemothman of an episode, but after a little editing, here it is! We had a super interesting chat with Phillip Jackson, author of ‘Hidden Paths Kyoto’ and soon to be released ‘Paranormal Kansai,’ a book delving into the mysterious world of ancient burial grounds, headless samurai, moped drivers, and wet taxi seats (among many more), all set in the Kansai region of Japan.  Of all the paras (trooper, legal, diddle, plegic, graph), normal is definitely the most fascinating, and that’s why we tried not to make too many crap jokes while Phillip explained some of the history behind Kansai, and indeed Ishikawa’s, unexplainable mysteries.  Essentially he explained them.  We also touched on UFOs, cryptocurrency, the property market, sailor assault, and shopping bag near disaster avoidance. We may not have mentioned cryptocurrency.
