Aokigahara, Sans Sensationalism

Added 2018-01-27 02:03:37 +0000 UTC

Yikes, I should have posted this for you this morning, but was pulled away to a day of meetings. We've never been a channel that comments on the news of the day, and to be fair, the Aokigahara/ *cough* Logan Paul *cough* incident is a few weeks old. But, I still think it's worth while breaking down what the forest is, why it's a beautiful landmark with a somewhat bad reputation, where that rep comes from, and what's being done about it in Japan.

Special thanks (as always!) for the help of Louise Hung, especially this episode.

And hi to everyone who showed up for the Livestream yesterday. Now that the tech is figured out I'm really enjoying them. I talked a zombie octopus and more about scrotum mold so, you know, fun time. Remember you can still watch it back any time you'd like.

Thanks for being the type of folks who support and want more longform, intelligent discussion about death. It makes a difference.
