Customer Reviews
Amazing!
Hello,
I'm from Saudi Arabia and I have an interest to explore other cultures such as Japan, and I like listening to ghost stories and folklore on podcasts at the same time. So, when I found Kawabana at the beginning of 2022 I felt like I found a chest of gold hahaha. I really enjoy this series and I have listened to every single episode of it. I keep waiting for new episodes and I get so excited when a new one is released. Thank you so much Tara for this amazing podcast, and I really hope you will continue releasing more episodes. You're a great speaker and you have a natural talent to read stories and make the listeners feel so intrigued and curious to keep listening.
I hope you keep releasing episodes weekly on Kawabana and Toshiden too. 🫶🏻
