Legends 80: He Said, She Said

About this episode

This episode explores the terrifying nature of stories that gain authenticity through frequent sharing, regardless of their truth.

Sometimes the thing that gives a story its authenticity is the frequency with which it has been shared, regardless of the truth. And many of them turn out to be utterly terrifying. Narrated and produced by Aaron Mahnke, with writing and research by GennaRose Nethercott and Alex Robinson. ————————— PRE-ORDER EXHUMED TODAY: aaronmahnke.com/exhumed ————————— Lore Resources: Get Ad-Free Lore: lorepodcast.com/support Episode Music: lorepodcast.com/music Episode Sources: lorepodcast.com/sources Official Lore Merchandise: lorepodcast.com/shop ————————— Sponsors: Gusto : Online payroll and benefits software built for small businesses.
