Excellent Podcast

I love good story telling and already subscribe to Snap Judgement, 99% Invisible, the Memory Palace, the Moth, or anything I can get my hands on in the way of a well produced story. I love that Lore explores the tales we heard as children and their historical roots. It's perfect for campfire tales.
