  • Lore 301: Lost at Sea
    Mar 9 2026

    For as much of the world as it covers, we know very little about the sea. And where there are unanswered questions, there can always be found folklore—usually of the frightening kind.

    Narrated and produced by Aaron Mahnke, with writing by GennaRose Nethercott, research by Cassandra de Alba, and music by Chad Lawson.

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!

Great podcast and well researched
