  • Legends 57: Long Live the King
    Jul 7 2025

    Some legends only appear to vanish over time. From wide popularity to utter obscurity, their journey teaches us something about the way we use story. And sometimes, it even manages to leave its mark on history.

    Narrated and produced by Aaron Mahnke, with writing by Alex Robinson and research by Jamie Vargas.

Great podcast and well researched

I have followed Aaron and Lore since I came across the show in late 2016 and I couldn’t get enough. The depth of story and amount of research he and his team put into each show are nothing short of stellar and I feel privileged to be able to benefit from their work and production. Each episode is entertaining, intriguing, and occasionally we get the origins of sayings and the like which fills my trivia knowledge bucket. Thanks for all you do! If you haven’t listened, start today!
