235-Korean Folklore: Ghost Story

Jason Weiser, Carissa Weiser, Nextpod
About this episode

Three stories from Korean folklore! On the first, a boy loves collecting stories, but no one really taught him proper story care, so they went the way of so many carnival goldfish. On the second, a young man protests his unfair (and kind of murdery) working conditions...by turning his boss's lunchbox into a toilet. On the third, there are people, there are cows, and no one can tell the two apart.

The creature is the ziz, and it wrecks cities by accident.
