I've always loved story time! Been listening to Lore since the early days and love the weird history and the folklore in our stories. Aaron does a great job with his team. I constantly have Lore playing in the background. Keep it up team! I love that your starting to do stories of the Western US Lore. I am a Battle Born Nevadan and would love to hear more from my regional area.

Lore is one of the best podcasts out there! the narration is incredible. he navigates the twists and turns of plot in a really skilled way, and I find it super relaxing. the story just rolls right along so fluidly. the stories are intriguing, they're beautifully narrated, they're thrilling, and they're suitable for pretty much any audience. nothing too scary or shocking for most kids who are old enough to be interested at all. highly recommend.

really fantastic storytelling!

This was my first podcast & I'm completely hooked! Since starting Lore, I've also dipped into all things Lore related. I even use the podcast, Amazon Prime show & Lore transcripts to teach my at-risk high school students! The curious & macabre topics keep ALL OF US engaged and wanting more!

Amazing subject matter!
