👹If you can't be with the one you love...👹
Love the one you're with? What? No. Kill everyone in your way until you get what you want. This week: a ghost story from Japan about what happens when a ronin, a masterless samurai, has nothing to lose in a quest to regain what he lost, and the people unfortunate enough to be in his way.

Jason, I have loved this show for a long time. But you have a bad habit of not crediting the original stories in the show notes. We need to be able to come here and find the sources easily so we can read the originals after your arrangements.
Giving credit to other culture’s stories fully is the morally correct thing to do.
Agreed (to all of it).
You all do a great job!! My favorite podcast. Thanks for the hard work.
