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. So, you're not worried about hosting the whole family for the holidays? Why would I be? Wayfair had everything I needed to get the house holiday ready. What if Mike brings his cheerful dogs? My tree has tons of five-star reviews telling me how sturdy it is. But what if everyone's plus one brings a plus one? We'll see how extendable this extendable table really is. And extra chairs are on the way. Okay, what if there's a blizzard and everyone has to sleep over? Ready to go with extra bedding and towels. From guest-ready essentials to holiday decor you can trust. Wayfair delivers.
Hey folks, Aaron here. Welcome to Deeper Lore, a bonus episode that's designed to be a topical guide to the most recent episode of Lore. Now, as I've explained before in the past, Deeper Lore is here to help you find similar episodes to the one that just came out. With so many episodes in our catalog now, over 300 at this point, it's pretty difficult to track down specific ones. So, this is meant to be a big neon sign that points you in the right direction of other similar episodes. Want to go deeper on a theme or a topic from folklore? Well, that's what Deeper Lore is all about. It's not a gimmick to grab more downloads or an effort to just sell more ads. It's honestly my attempt to help out all of those lore superfans and those brand new listeners who might be overwhelmed, who want to learn more about the topic they just heard about this week and see what else we've covered over the last decade. You know, to go a bit deeper, and thus the name, Deeper Lore. So, for this week, for episode 262, Broken Lines, we head to the Emerald Isle for a tour of the haunted and infamous Charville Castle. One thing that I loved about this particular story is that it sort of has two separate adventures for us to go on. There's the castle itself and, you know, the reports about its ghostly inhabitants, but then there's also the family that built and lived in it and their own absolutely freaky story that transpires over the years. But after making this show for almost a decade, this certainly isn't the first Castle episode of lore. In fact, we've explored quite a few of them, and I think that there are some that you would absolutely love to hear about. So, here are three of my favorites. First up, episode 51, Within the Walls, is a fantastic tour of a number of spooky old castles. This classic episode ticks a number of boxes, and fans have always loved it, so I have to recommend it. Do check it out. Next up, download episode 68, The Tainted Well. This one is all about the legendary lep castle, and it's a journey that still haunts me all these years later. Family secrets, frightening apparitions, and ancient history. How could anyone say no to that, right? And finally, go listen to episode 117, Bones. For this old episode, we head to Japan, and I know we usually associate the word castle with massive stone edifices, and Japan has a more beautiful approach to the concept. But friends, that does not mean their fortresses are any less terrifying.
