March 2019 Bonus Episode! with Show Notes! (Patreon)

Thanks to your support, we were able to take some extra time this month and finish a couple of research pieces that we loved but couldn't fit into the regular podcast! We're calling this one Cut for Time: Beards and Balls Edition!

Show notes:

- A very readable history of facial hair in Japan from Tofugu.
