I have listened to a handful of Aaron Mahnke’s podcasts, and this one is my absolute favorite! Lore and his pirate podcast are tied for second. Aaron Mahnke’s Cabinet of Curiosities is full of marvelous storytelling with well researched stories of unique origins. Every episode takes you on an absurd or fantastical journey. I highly recommend giving this one a listen!
Awesome

Love your work, all of it. Been following for a few years now and just seen a new show on Netflix, I think some one may have took some inspiration from your work and started a new show ? (Guillermo del toro’s cabinet of curiosities). Hope I’m wrong but I feel a weird sense of loyalty towards your work because I listen to it lol. Thanks for what you do
