  • Don’t make it personal

    I’ve been listening to Lore for the better part of 5 years now. I’ve listened to every single free episode and have enjoyed 90% of them. Sometimes the stories are repetitive but I imagine there’s going to be only so much you can report on. I will say that when I started it, there was ZERO political and social agendas. It was just a good ol podcast based on creeps and stories. After 2020, I found myself rolling my eyes on a lot of comments Aaron makes regarding HIS personal views. If I wanted a p... more

  • Just that last ad…

    I adore this podcast. In fact, it holds a sweet spot in my heart because it’s what I listened to as I traveled to the neighboring town for a first date with my now-wife. And she’s now a fan, too! My only complaint is that last ad break. It really ruins the episode and interrupts the build. I’d prefer to have all the ads at the beginning so I can immerse myself in Lore once they’re over.

  • Entertaining!

    I have enjoyed this podcast for years and always look forward to hearing the newest episode. All of Grim &Mild’s podcasts are well-done and unique. I don’t usually care for multiple host programs because the story/topic gets buried by unrelated conversation. Aaron’s voice is just right and the music is muted and intriguing, not overwhelming. Recommend Lore and all the podcasts he produces.

  • A fairly well-researched show that tends to fall into repetition in later episodes. Good in short bursts.
