This is my favorite podcast man. It’s just really good. He is so funny and has a great voice and he’s just an overall great story teller. Like I can’t recommend this podcast enough. Even if u don’t like mythology, give this a try. Also to anyone considering subscribing it is totally worth it. No more ads is just great and the members eps are pretty good. For aly: dude all u are is just a nitpicky idiot and just cus he’s wrong about one little thing doesn’t mean everything he says is a lie. Also you can’t be saying he’s misrepresenting Slavic folklore and Russia when u can’t even spell Russia right. It’s not Ruzzia it’s russia idiot Also abt the ads now he usually does them with his own voice so it’s not very jarring now and guys think for a sec how is he supposed to get money if he’s not getting paid for ads, this is his job guys be a bit more considerate

More Greek episodes PLEASE. This podcast is the best podcast I’ve come across yet. Though not optimized for younger listeners, is made up for in the sassy and funny vibe. Though I haven’t forgiven you guys for episode 9 and the story of Gelert. (You’ll have to listen if you’re confused.) Overall great podcast.

Great podcast

A very entertaining podcast. I like your voice and the way you tell the stories. I’ve also listened to Lore for years. While I appreciate that Aaron Mahnke provides historical and cultural background, I find it can be more immersive to simply tell the stories, with only occasional background and dashes of humor.

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE

this is my fav podcast I listen to it all the time! it’s literally my therapy it always makes me feel better once i listen. also i think it’s very impressive how you can make a creepy, disturbing, or gory story sound really funny and light. this podcast has raised my standards so high i try to find another podcast to listen to in between episodes but i always return here. ive listened to literally episode and i have the membership and i think its worth it!!! im always so excited when i see theres a new episode out!! can u please do another episode where you put two real myths and a fake one that you made up and we had to guess which one is fake ( Untitled Goose Episode) because it was really fun! (also, haters complaining about ads, u can just fast forward….u do know that right?)
