COOKIN' UP A STORY: You Better Know What to Ask Me
Episode 312
Saturday, 28 March, 2026
1922's "In a Grove," a short story by Ryūnosuke Akutagawa, is a study into the nature of truth. It centers around the death of a samurai, with four different accounts of how he came to meet his demise being presented. Akira Kurosawa, without whom there would be no "Star Wars," adapted the short story into his 1950 film "Rashomon." This episode is neither of those things, but we do get into Helen Keller, Christmas, the Tooth Fairy, and what it is exactly that makes something a lie. Give it a listen, it's a good one. #rashomon #truth #lies #christmas #toothfairy #trading #rabbithole
