Lore - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Integrity. That’s the word that continues to come to mind when I think about Lore and all the other work Aaron Mahnke and the incredible team at Grim and Mild does in the world. Lore isn’t just a great podcast with great storytelling. It provides the humble, clear eyed, and honest picture of history, religion, and culture that the world needs far more of than it does today. As I listen, I often catch myself thinking “if we all just collectively took this curious and honest approach to history, we would be able to approach the issues we have today with far more intentionality and understanding.” That’s why I think integrity is the best way to describe this podcast. Integrity is how it is made in every detail and if we are really listening, integrity is what it helps us to strive for in our view of history and each other. Because of all this, it really is one of the best podcasts out there.

Interesting, visualizable, clear and organized.
I love this podcast, because Aaron makes it very easy to understand and maintain focus on the subject at hand. With its descriptive passages, it’s also very easy to visualize what he is saying in one’s head. There are many times when I’d much rather listen to Lore than watch television for that reason. Honestly, I regret the face that I can’t wipe my memory to listen to all of the episodes over again. With all that being said, the nature of this podcast is very inviting to my fellow neurodivergent people and more. I think of these episodes as a mini brain vacation that also allow me to focus on my tasks at hand.

100% recommend if you are looking for a podcast that is equal parts entertaining and methodical.

This is one of the most important podcasts as it chartered new territory and really showed fans of history and the macabre just how great a podcast can be. Aaron Mahnke is one of the OG greats of excellent podcasting and I am so glad that not only has he continued to make Lore episodes, but that he’s also ventured out into new work. Keep up the great work, sir!

Love it! My favorite podcast for fall- the vibes are spooky and great for a cool, dark morning or evening. The background music from Chad is a great touch to building the ambience- it is very easy to get caught up in the story! (Hi Aaron!)

Episodes are hidden behind a paywall now and the ads are incessant. Joe Rogan sells ads without interrupting episodes. Read them before or after, but please stop ruining episodes with ads that ruin the flow.

Had to unsubscribe, hopefully they’ll fix it and I’ll come back.

Please slow way down with your reading/ storytelling. Way too fast paced and even upbeat for this spooky type of genre. The first season your voice and timing sounded nice and pleasant to listen/sleep to. Now I somewhat enjoy it if I slow down the podcast speed, but it’s still not the same. Please slow down!!
