  Hey folks, Aaron here. Welcome back to another edition of Deeper Lore, a bonus episode that's designed to serve as a topical guide to the most recent episode of Lore. I know that it can be a lot of work sorting through our show's archive of over 11 years' worth of episodes. Sometimes I have to track one down myself and there are hundreds to pick from. So I'm here to point out some old episodes that topically fit nice with this week's brand new one. And let's get started, shall we? This week for episode 318, Pack Mentality, we explore the dark and dangerous woods of France in search of werewolves. But it's not the first time that we've discussed beasts of that sort here on Lore, so here are three older episodes that will pair up nicely with

  this week's new one. First up, episode 3, The Beast Within. This one is a classic. Not only was it the third ever episode of Lore, but it's also a longtime fan favorite. A German village, a serial killer, and a brutal execution, all because some werewolf superstition took hold of a community. Don't miss this one. Next, download episode 53, Trees and Shadows. This one is also an oldie, all about the creatures that lurk just beyond the tree line. Come for the beastly history, stay for the trip to Wisconsin to learn about their terrifying legacy. And finally, there's episode 155, Skin Deep. Now, when you hear the word "trials," you

  tend to think of witches, but those old community panics also included other supernatural threats. And just like this week's new episode, episode 155 explores the trials of a few supposed werewolves. Do check it out. And there you go. Follow up this week's brand new episode with a trip into the past. Episodes 3, 53, and 155 are waiting for you in this podcast feed.
