This episode is sponsored by Wildwood. From Leica, the studio behind Coraline, comes a new epic fantasy adventure. And at the heart of Wildwood is a simple question. How far would you go for someone you love? Wildwood is a handcrafted epic fantasy adventure that transports audiences into a secret magical and dangerously alive world just beyond their doorstep. At its heart is the story of a courageous girl, Prue McKeel, on a desperate mission to rescue her baby brother from a forbidden forest filled with enchanted creatures, endearing allies, and formidable adversaries. Her journey unfolds in a spectacular high-stakes adventure where the fate of an entire hidden world hangs in the balance. The film features vocal performances from Carrie Mulligan, Mahershala Ali, and Angela Bassett. And I have to tell you folks, I have seen the trailer for this film so many times, and I cannot wait to park my button to seat and experience this adventure. Wildwood is now playing in theaters everywhere, so grab your tickets today. This episode was made possible by Warby Parker. Before Warby Parker, I had to do that thing that we all hate, stand in front of a wall of frames, and find the needle in the haystack. Just trying to buy glasses shouldn't require a spreadsheet, right? That's why I am obsessed with Warby Parker. Nothing else comes close on quality price selection and customer service. Once you buy from Warby Parker, you'll realize how much easier they've made the entire process. Their virtual try-on has made it possible for me to skip those eye-doctor showrooms entirely since I can literally try-on glasses from my phone before I buy them. I've tried other virtual try-ons that feel pretty janky, but with Warby Parker, you can genuinely tell how the frames are going to look and fit. Warby Parker glasses start at 95 bucks and include prescription lenses with anti-reflective scratch-resistant coatings. They use premium materials in each frame, design every frame in house, and have a collection of silhouettes, colors, and fits for every face. Me, I wear progressive lenses, which are more complicated to get just right, but Warby Parker nailed it and these glasses are absolutely amazing. They look and fit so great. Right now, buy one pair of glasses and get 20% off any additional pairs at warbyparker.com/lore. That's 20% off any additional pairs when you purchase one pair at W-A-R-B-Y, Parker.com/lore. Hey folks, Aaron here. Welcome back to another edition of Deeper Lore, a bonus episode designed to serve as a topical guide to the most recent episode of lore. Why? Well, over the years I've learned that a lot of folks have special favorites they'd like to revisit, others though enjoy listening to episodes about certain topics. It's common to hear a brand new episode and have it spark an interest in finding other stories that might be related. But with over 300 episodes to sort through, it can be hard to track down specific ones. Running a podcast for a decade has a way of building a pretty massive catalog of options. So this bonus episode here is designed to offer a guide for folks who want to go a bit deeper into the lore. Thus, deeper lore. Creative, I know. This week for episode 269, there goes my hero. We slip back in time and revisit some of the most powerful military stories from American history. But it's not the first time we've covered the ghosts of battle on the show. So here are three more older episodes that should resonate well with this week's new one. First up, episode 115, Perspective. In this old classic, we visit the New England settlement of Gloucester, Massachusetts, where one military outpost faced off against an otherworldly foe. This one is a conundrum, being both difficult to believe and also well documented. So check it out. Next, download episode 135, A Good Death. For this episode, we head to a place that feels synonymous with battle in America, Gettysburg. Not only do we cover some of the physical horrors of war, but some of the supernatural ones as well. A lot of folks have had the chance to visit Gettysburg, and if you're one of them, this is a great way to enhance those memories. And finally, I recommend you go listen to episode 161, Shell Game. War, in general, has a way of creating some powerful experiences, which often lead to some odd superstitions. So this episode veers a bit outside of pure American history, and gives you a tour of these wild and unusual wartime traditions. So there you go. Follow up this week's brand new episode with a trip into the past. Episodes 115, 135, and 161 are waiting for you in this podcast feed. You can just scroll through your app to find them, or you can tap on their direct links in the description for this episode. And until next time, stay spooky. Hey Denver!
