About this listen

 American Shadows is a bi-weekly podcast from iHeartRadio and Aaron Mahnke’s Grim & Mild. The show focuses on the darker stories from American history: the people, places, and things that are hidden and forgotten in the shadows. From better-known tales like the conspiracy to steal Lincoln’s body, to less-known stories, like the rainmaker who flooded San Diego. Join host Lauren Vogelbaum as she spans two centuries of omitted lore from our country’s history books.2025 iHeartMedia, Inc. © Any use of this intellectual property for text and data mining or computational analysis including as training material for artificial intelligence systems is strictly prohibited without express written consent from iHeartMedia World

American Shadows is something like Lore style podcast. Narrator is Lauren Vogelbaum and she is so good! I love music on the background. Such a beautiful history storytelling podcast!
If you like Lore, you’ll like this one. I personally love the whole Grim & Mild shows.

One of my favorite podcasts!

Overall it's interesting. Some stories more than others. The narrator does a good job. If I had to be critical about anything, it would be the fact that you can play a drinking game for every time she says the word "liminal".

Entertaining

If you want today's backward ideology retroactively superimposed on historical stories, this is the podcast for you.

Came for the history, left bc of the preaching.
