- Good show
It’s a good podcast but can’t you just tell the stories without having a big monologue about social issues. Also can you do more episodes about china

United States21 days ago - Aaron, hide you socialist political views … it’s showing
I used to love Aaron Mahnke’s podcasts, especially lore. However, like many reviews already state, I’m here for the stories, not his views on politics (democratic/ socialist) views , anti Christian sentiment (especially Catholics- not sure what the Church did to you), and thoughts on immigration (we get it, you hate boarders and want everyone to vote and vote). If you have a desire to talk about politics, immigration, feeling bad about being white, etc. maybe start a separate podcast “Aaron Mahn... more
Apple Podcasts1DannieChrisUnited States22 days ago - Amazing
Hi. I love to say hi. I enjoy ALL of your content at Grim&Mild and thank you for the time you and the team put into every episode. Wonderful. Interesting. Engaging. Puny. Thoughtful. And I have to add that I finished Exhumed. Wow. If anyone hasn’t enjoyed this yet you have to read it or listen. I did both. I couldn’t get enough. I connected with Mercy when I first heard her story. Exhumed brought her to life (see what I did there). A must read/listen. Thank you for the time and effort and skill... more
Apple Podcasts5KarenAustin57United Statesa month ago - I’ve heard enough 🙄
Yet another uber-liberal podcast host who just can’t help but slip in some of his personal bias against Christianity, conservatives, whites, etc. Didn’t click on Lore for political opinions. Way to ruin what used to be a decent show.
Apple Podcasts1aussie-mommaUnited Statesa month ago - Just want this review to be seen
Please pleeeeaaase do better research. The Catholic Church was not in control of the Spanish Inquisition. In the episode titled bloody he says a whole bunch of things that make all Christians sound like we want to kill all other religions. It annoys me . I will still listen but hope this gets seen. After Charlemagne died things were not good we aren’t perfect.
