Enchanted World is a fortnightly podcast about the fantastic creatures and animals and beings that appear in fantasy and in myth and folklore. From the well known to the obscure, I will be exploring this vast list of creatures one by one in each episode, and look at their origins as well as the legends that surround each creature. In the first episode of Enchanted World, I travel all the way to Japan to look at the origins and myths surrounding the bakekujira, or the ghost whale.
