Summary

A young woman's father is taken, and she decided to go to the edges of the known world to get him back, to a faraway island harboring a dark and terrible secret. The creature this week is skunk ape! He's 0% skunk, 0% ape, and 100% into stealing your produce.

0:00.0	Just a brief disclaimer, there's some slight violence this week.
0:03.6	Check out mythpogcast.com for more info.

0:10.7	From Japanese folklore, you probably know not to give people
0:13.8	at work unsolicited health tips, but that's doubly true if the person
