Welcome to Deeper Lore, a bonus episode designed to be a topical guide to the most recent episode of lore. Some folks have favorites they like to revisit over and over. Others enjoy listening to certain topics. They hear a new episode on one subject, then it sparks an interest in other stories on that same topic. The trouble is with more than 300 episodes to pick from from the last decade, it's hard to track down specific episodes. So think of this little bonus episode as a guide, offering folks help to find a story that they're looking for, to go a bit deeper, thus deeper lore. This week for episode 267 curveball, we encounter an unexpected corner of folklore by taking a look at baseball. It may sound incongruous at first, but baseball has been around long enough that it's actually picked up quite a few bits of superstition along the way, as well as a few curses. And that's a topic we've touched on many times in the past. So if you need more cursed content in your life, here are three more episodes that resonate well with that particular theme. First up, episode 13 off the path. This one is super old, so you can either listen to the original bad amateur Aaron audio version or the more recent remastered version of the same script. Either way, this is a great place to start, especially for fans of werewolf lore and Ireland, which might not make sense right now, but it will once you listen. Oh, and the intro? It starts off with baseball. Next, go download episode 83 carried away. In this classic, we visit a particular branch of folklore surrounding Romani curses and one man in particular. It's a great twist on an old favorite and educational at the same time. I think you'll love it. And finally, I recommend you go listen to episode 127 tipping the scales. It seems that it's practically impossible to mention curses without conjuring up images of King Tut. But even though this idea of the mummy's curse seems like a modern Hollywood McGuffin, it's actually older and more complicated than that. And the story behind it is super fascinating, as well as being pretty creepy. Dig into this old favorite of mine to learn why. So there you go. Follow up this week's brand new episode with the trip into the past. Episodes 13, 83, and 127 are waiting for you in this podcast feed. You could just scroll on down to find them in your app, or you can tap their direct links in the description for this bonus episode. And until next time, stay spooky.
