About The Uncanny Japan Podcast

Speculative fiction writer, long-term resident of Japan and Bram Stoker Award finalist Thersa Matsuura explores all that is weird from old Japan—strange superstitions, folktales, cultural oddities, and interesting language quirks. These are little treasures she digs up while doing research for her writing.

"Thersa's voice is so calming and pleasant, combined with incredibly interesting stories, told with excitement you can feel. It's just truly my favorite podcast to listen to. You really can't explain how perfect this podcast is. A million out of ten stars."

"I think most podcasts I listen to can use a bit of cutting down. Uncanny Japan almost always leaves me wanting at least a few minutes more!"

"I love listening to Uncanny Japan before I go to sleep. Thersa's soothing voice and background noise makes you feel like you're in the countryside of Japan hearing these stories yourself."

“I was never really into podcasts until I tried this one. I absolutely ADORE the beautiful soundscapes in the background and Thersa has a very calming and captivating voice. I also really like the bedtime stories for Patrons too. Definitely recommend giving this podcast a listen if you love Japanese folktales. Now it’s my favorite podcast!”

"This podcast is enchanting. Thersa, our hostess, with a voice gentler than a dove's (and a soundscape and music to match) tells tales which evoke a world so magical, darkly poetic and beautiful that Japan and its past seem utterly perfect and perfectly beguiling. I can't get enough of Thersa's world and I suspect you won't either."

"It can be hard to find firsthand information on Japanese folklore, traditions, and language for non-native speakers; this podcast presents a rare opportunity to learn about this endlessly fascinating country in a fun and easy way."

"As someone who isn't usually interested in history podcasts but interested in Japanese culture, Thersa keeps me interested with well-researched topics that are different than you'd find on a travel channel. With the wonderful background sounds of her surroundings, it covers some dark content while keeping a calm feel to it."

"This is a fantastic bite-sized podcast that sheds light onto details about Japan that are off the usually discussion. These stories shed light into not only Japanese culture, but also idioms and quirks that have made their way across the globe. Would highly recommend for anyone interested in culture and interesting research that entice you to learn more!"

"With natural background settings and a voice which was made for storytelling, Thersa evokes imagery of old woodblock paintings brought to life through her lesser-known and incredibly interesting tales. I'm so glad I found her podcast!"
