really fantastic storytelling!

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.

Jaw Dropping

I have listened to every episode and I have never been bored or tune out before the story was finished, I have listened to several podcasts trying to find one that not just grabbed my attention but kept my attention and so far in 4 years of listening to podcasts Lore is the only one to hold my attention, Aaron has an amazing story telling ability and his voice was made for this, Aaron if you read this keep it up please.

Love story time

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.

My OG Podcast

The most reliably awesome, slightly spooky, always thought-provoking podcast out there; it ranks #1 in my heart ❤ the folklore is especially cool when its coming from a place you've been to, but didnt know the history of at the time. Its the first podcast I ever tried listening to- and now it's the first podcast I look for on days when a new episode is due
