Japan, 1915 - a brown bear attacks and kills multiple villagers*. The people attempt to defend themselves but it seems the bear is stalking them and outsmarts them at every turn. Enter, the bear specialist Miyouke Yasutarō... Joining us this week is the master of Confessions, Sammy Petersen.
*Content warning: this episode contains multiple people (including children) being attacked by a bear.
This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 12:47 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).
