ICYMI: #FridayNightHistory 57, "A Curveball." On the history of "Tohoku Jesus, Aomori Garlic Farmer," why it's like the Always Sunny in Philadelphia corkboard conspiracist meme, and what I'm going to be bringing you next week instead: https://riverside-wings.com/2023/07/01/friday-night-history-57-s2e24-a-curveball/ #JapaneseHistory

After recent changes on #Redbubble, I've moved my merch over to Fourthwall. Designs from my novels, from the #Cleyera and #FridayNightHistory podcasts, and more, along with a Patreon alternative and a means to send one-off donations, all via http://riversidewings-shop.fourthwall.com

#FridayNightHistory 57 will not be about Tohoku Jesus, Aomori Garlic Farmer, because I'm going to be doing a Deep Dive about that story for #UnseenJapan. Instead, I will make a meta-episode where I comment on the whole strange journey of it, and how sometimes, research throws you a curveball.

In the meantime, check out Episode 56, "Nanbu Senbei," about a local Aomori equivalent of hardtack, at https://riverside-wings.com/2023/06/23/friday-night-history-56-s2e23-nanbu-senbei/ and consider subscribing to support more episodes! #Podcasts #JapaneseHistory
