I feel like that might have been a Cabinet episode, but with over 1400 stories from that show, my brain isn’t giving me more info than that.

Hello! A few reminders, since it’s been a while:
- We publish new episodes every Monday.
- We have paid ad-free options for those who want to directly support the show.
- 10+ years in, the Lore team is still SUPER grateful for all who listen along.
- Tell some friends about Lore!

It’s been a busy day of normal podcast production stuff (recording Lore Bites bonus episodes for our paid Patreon and Apple Podcast subscribers), but I just wanted to thank everyone for all the kind messages of love and appreciation today.

Lore fans are the best fans in the world πŸ–€

Ahead of tomorrow’s brand new episode of Lore, I should mention that the title was picked *months* ago, and just randomly feels kind of timely.

Again, I never said he did not exist. I’m sorry to hear my choice of words has offended you. I’ll be sure to discuss him more carefully in the future.

Cheers πŸ–€

It’s a podcast about both history *and* folklore. After a thousand years, Edric the Wild was a historical figure and a folkloric hero. Both can be true, and both can be good.

I’ve very sorry you’ve not received what you need from my mention of him.

I wish you the best in your ancestry search!

I inferred no such thing.

That said, there’s very little evidence of *most* people existing a thousand years ago. Even Shakespeare barely left a footprint outside his plays (only half a dozen of his signatures exist, and he spelled his name differently in almost all of them).

A couple of things:

(1) Our sources are always posted publicly on the Lore website (the link is right there in the episode description).

(2) We never said Edric the Wild wasn’t a real person. Here’s the actual script for that portion of the episode in case it helps.

Thanks for listening!

Yesterday’s brand new episode of Lore covers the chilling intersection of folklore and baseball. We’ve all heard of the β€œcurse of the Bambino,” but baseball is filled with a lot more superstition than that.

Check it out!
