Lore: Empowered

Few corners of American folklore have as much depth and texture as one that was born out of tradition, longing, and powerlessness. And thanks to one trailblazing writer, we can take a guided tour of it all.
Written and produced by Aaron Mahnke, with research by GennaRose Nethercott and music by Chad Lawson.

Loved this episode! Reading Zora Neale Hurston's "Mules and Men" in college was my first real introduction to the field of folklore studies. Not long after, I discovered Lore and ultimately tweaked my English major to have a concentration on folklore and the supernatural! 🖤

I picked that book up on a whim at a bargain sale, and I was totally blown away. Her commitment to archiving folktales and traditions is so inspiring!
