  • Legends 57: Long Live the King
    Jul 7 2025

    Some legends only appear to vanish over time. From wide popularity to utter obscurity, their journey teaches us something about the way we use story. And sometimes, it even manages to leave its mark on history.

    Narrated and produced by Aaron Mahnke, with writing by Alex Robinson and research by Jamie Vargas.

  • Lore 283: On the Nose
    Jun 30 2025

    Folklore often preserves something from deep in the past in a way that can still be experienced in the present. But ghosts aren’t the only lingering reminder of days gone by that we might bump into.

    Narrated and produced by Aaron Mahnke, with writing by GennaRose Nethercott, research by Cassandra de Alba, and music by Chad Lawson.

I've been listening to Lore for a few years now and it's the only podcast I've stuck with. The stories are fascinating and Aaron Mankes delivery and story telling are top-notch. He has got me through many a long day at work and traffic jam!
