Podcast Q&A

Why did you start this show?

This show was a long-ago creation by our co-founder of Cactus Cat Creations, Tragedy Faye.

Which episode should someone start with?

This an episodic series, so starting at the beginning is crucial to getting a deeper understanding of the story and timeline.

Which have been your favourite episodes so far?

With only three episodes released so far, my personal favorite is Episode 2 - The Agency. We get a deeper look into what the agency is, learn more about the people that keep this place together, and get more about their personalities.

How did you come up with the name for your podcast?

The series was originally called Darkness Falls, but it was too generic a name, as there were many other shows and films with the same. We decided to shift the name to Yokai Detective Agency as it gives a more in-depth feel to the place and characters.
