About this episode
The episode follows a pair of half-sisters on an extraordinary adventure in Japan involving a talking statue and a tragic ending.
Sweet acorns! No, that's not a cool new exclamation taking the world by storm. These sweet acorns lead a pair of half-sisters on an extraordinary adventure in the Kumamoto region of Japan. There's a talking statue of the Amitābha Buddha and a tragic ending. The telling of the tale leads James to do one of the greatest chicken impressions ever committed to podcast. Plus, a series of demon voices that are as characterful as their accents are regionally accurate. Come see us in Oxford!
