Some stories have been around for a very long time, and others are fairly new. One thing is certain, though: the tales we tell have a way of changing over time. But that doesn’t make them any less powerful—or any less frightening.

Some people have a fire inside them that drives them to do great things. New discoveries, breakthrough inventions, or astonishing accomplishments. But some have harnessed that passion for something darker, and they’re actions have left a painful mark on history.

Aaron is joined by Marcet Crockett, researcher responsible for Lore 117: Bones, and together they discuss writing about distant cultures, wrapping their minds around another language, and their favorite pieces of this fun and thrilling episode.

Everything is built upon something else. Whether it is a mighty fortress, a simple home, or the very lives of the people around us, there’s a foundation beneath everything. But don’t let that strong, smooth layer fool you. There’s darkness down there, if you know where to look.

Today's episode of Behind the Lore features a chat between Aaron and Robin Miniter, the researcher who helped work on this episode. Together they explore the complexities of Linda Hazzard and so much more.

No one likes to be sick, and yet it is one of the most dependable things in life. We will all, at some point, become ill, and when we do, the most important thing in our world will be recovery and wellness. Many simply wait for nature to take its course, but history is full of takes of those who have taken it a bit too far.

Despite having a head cold that makes him sound like an entirely different person, Aaron chats with researcher Robin Miniter about the most recent episode of Lore, 115: Perspective. Plus some inside baseball about how Aaron manages his production schedule with the looming threat of "life happening" at any given moment.

The way we explain the world around us is determined by the lens we view it through, especially when events sit outside the realm of the believable. And no better moment in time can illustrate that idea better than the perfect storm of fear and paranoia that descended on a New England village a handful of centuries ago.

Aaron chats with Carl, the researcher behind Episode 114: The Gateway, and they discuss a whole assortment of ideas and threads that went into the crafting of the episode.

Most locations have an isolated history that is unique to them and only them. But some places have served as the entry point for a bigger idea and a larger impact on history as a whole. Sadly, that sort of significance always seems to come at a price, and it’s a cost that’s difficult to forget.

On this episode of Behind the Lore, Aaron is joined by Sam Alberty, the researcher behind Episode 113: Word of Mouth.

Throughout history, cultures around the world have explored the world of medicine in search of tools that can heal our bodies. We’ve used plants and minerals, of course, but the most powerful tool might also be the most taboo—and it’s been right in front of us the entire time.

Of all the parts of life that we can depend on, one of the darkest parts is loss. That’s the trouble with being surrounded by mortal, fragile human beings; at some point, the people we love won’t be here anymore. Which is why the mourning process is the playground for all sorts of powerful bits of folklore.

Aaron is joined by researcher Sam Alberty for a behind the scenes discussion about Episode 111: Inside Job. Listen along as we cover the history of dreams, carefully telling a person's story, and the frustration of discovering that sometimes history's closets are empty.

I had a moment at the end of a massively busy week and thought I would check in. How are you all? Doing well, I hope.
Me, I'm in that blessed calm before the storm of conferences and touring, which allows me to sit down every single workday and write a lot of words. Episode 111 was released earlier this week, but I just wrapped up writing Episode 115 yesterday. If I'm going to travel, I need to get the stories done ahead of time, you know?
I have a bunch of new pro...

Today we re-launched the Lore shop with two brand new t-shirts: the Headstone, and the List.
We've also gotten rid of the old "campaign" model for all the shirts. Today, when you visit the Lore Shop, all the shirts are just...available. It's magical, really. If you want something, you no longer have to wait...

We sent out a post with the Patreon member access code to the tickets for this year's tour, but the code wasn't working. Apparently, my tech tech got today's code mixed up with Wednesday's general Lore audience code. It happens!

The deepest mysteries come from the places we haven’t fully explored, or where we lack the control that makes us feel safe. And yet one of the most universally mysterious places of all is closer than you might believe. It’s the best kept secret everyone has been sleeping through.

Hey gang!
Chad and I have been working hard to pick out some of the best venues in the United States, and while we can’t go everywhere, we’ve put together a tour that will take us to 13 of them.
Beginning in July, we’ll be hitting the road to perform a brand new, exclusive set of Lore stories on stage. These are tales you won’t hear on the podcast, delivered live and in-person by me, while Chad sets the mood on the grand piano. It will be an experience you won't forget. 2019-04-01 09:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post

I wanted you to hear it straight from me, and ahead of time: Lore is hitting the road this year for a 13-city tour!
Tickets will go on sale for Patreon members ONLY on Monday morning, and you'll have two days to grab all the best seats. After that, the larger Lore community will get their own access code, followed by the general public a couple of days after that.
But you're special. You get first pick.

It's going to be a busy day for me today. New episode (110), travels, and a too-long list of things I need to get done. But todays is also a special day, and I wanted to share that with you here.
Today, Lore turned FOUR!
It was literally March 18th of 2015 when I uploaded the first episode audio file and *very* nervously clicked the "Publish" button. I didn't think it would work (the podcast, not the button), and assumed my amateur voice and hacked-together audio ...
