Everyone needs a reminder about just how good people can be. On Wondery’s new series The Daily Smile, host Nikki Boyer brings you stories that will make you feel good each weekday morning. With interviews, inspiring clips, and chats with special guests and passionate friends, The Daily Smile takes you on a journey into goodness, gives you all the feels, and will leave you with a smile on your face.
Yokai come in infinite shapes and sizes; from tengu mountain goblins and kappa water spirits to shape-shifting foxes and murderous apparitions. Japanese folklorist and UC Davis professor Michael Dylan Foster recounts his own spine tingling encounter with a yokai and runs down their delightful and terrifying origins and why they’re more relevant today than ever before.
Check out Michael’s published books about the Yokai: The Book of Yokai and Pandemonium and Parade
