  • Used to be my favorite

    This was my absolute favorite podcast. I love the way Aaron tells stories and the stories themselves are beautifully written. His voice is very soothing and the production and music are top notch. My only complaint is that there used to be longer regular episodes but now we get 80% lore bites episodes and other stuff instead of a regular 30 minute episode. I have subscribed in the past to get more content but I don’t feel it was anything extra special. Maybe this is due to Aaron having so many s... more

  • HI AARON!!! Fan from the first World of Lore book!

    Taking a recommendation of family, The World of Lore series introduced us to Aaron Mahnke and Lore. Love the show, books, and this podcast! i do have one item of 50/50. I love that you have a Minor in Psychology and can explain SOME of why things were done i.e. Waverly Hills. But, SOME goes too far, taking away the mysticism of the story.
