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 to Deeper Lore, a bonus episode designed to be a topical guide to the most recent episode of lore. Some folks here have favorites that they like to revisit over and over, and others enjoy listening to certain topics again. They hear a new episode on one subject, and it sparks an interest in other stories on the same topic. The trouble is, with over 300 episodes to pick from, it's kind of hard to track down specific ones. So, this little bonus episode is here to help you, offering a guide to those who want to go a bit deeper into the lore. Thus, Deeper Lore. Creative, I know. This week for episode 268's Lost Empire, we go looking for one of the biggest legends of all time, the lost continent of Atlantis. Of course, we go about it through the lens of a handful of people who were obsessed with finding it, and how their pursuit of the story changed the way we look at it today. Esoteric topics like this are pretty rare on lore, but we have covered a few other similar corners of folklore, so here are three more episodes that resonate well with this particular category. First up, episode 192 Time Will Tell. As the title might suggest, this one deals with another popular bit of folklore, time travel. We tackle the topic by digging into a few very unusual, well-documented cases that seem to hint at something strange, all while following the paper trail in the way those stories came down to us. It's fascinating, and worth a re-listen. Next, download episode 38 The Mountain. Right up there with mysteries like Atlantis or time travel is this haunting unsolved case from 1959. For decades now, millions of people around the world have wondered what really happened to the hikers who died in the Diatlaf Pass, and while there are a lot of promising theories that try to explain what we don't know, this episode provides a good summary of the things we do. Finally, I recommend you go listen to episode 54 Teachers Pet. Everyone has encountered the idea of a doppelganger before. It's become easy shorthand for seeing someone who looks a lot like a person you know, but the legend is much deeper, and the stories connected to it are absolutely chilling. Give this old classic a fresh listen. So there you go. Follow up this week's brand new episode with the trip into the past. Episodes 192, 38, and 54 are waiting for you in this podcast feed.
