- Been Listening on and off for Years
I originally found this podcast probably circa 2015ish? I fell in love with the show and have come back to it time and time again to binge and get the latest episodes. I absolutely love the presentation and story telling. This is one of the podcasts that got me listening to podcasts and it’s the reason I have continued to listen. Highly recommend Aaron’s other stuff as well, also really good stuff if you like Lore.

United States21 days ago Listening to this podcast since it started. Don't deny Manke has serious talent but the dude is about as anti White, anti man, anti Christian, and anti straight as it comes. Most recent Oh Deer Lore: Legends episode is testament to this point. Dude calls VDare a "White Supremecist Group". Lolol it's a news website not a group my guy. If you guys are looking for something less Anti White and un-American and very well done in a similar vein, Check Out Haunted Cosmos on any podcast app.
