  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. Have you ever wondered where you can find more episodes on the same topic you just heard about? Did this particular type of folklore get you interested to keep the vibe going? Or did the newest episode of Lore make you just want to go deeper into that single topic? Well, that's the purpose of Deeper Lore. In this short bonus episode, I'll dig into our vast 11-year archive and point out some old episodes that fit well with this week's newest. The hope is that you can keep this spooky feeling going well into the weekend, putting a handful of old episodes into a new, more powerful context. So, let's get started, shall we?

  For this week, episode 303, Shoot for the Stars. We discuss some of the folklore that's rooted in the sky above our head. But it's not the first time that we've looked skyward for strange tales from history. So here are three older episodes that should pair up nicely with this week's new one. First up, episode 74, All Fall Down. Everyone loves to make small talk about the weather, but trust me when I tell you that the stories covered in this classic episode will do More than break the ice. It's a fan favorite, so if you haven't listened to it yet, do so now. Next, download episode 87, Road Trip. This is a terrifying, controversial story about what exactly can frighten us from above.

  You might know some of the elements of the story, but it's best to digest this as a whole from start to finish. And finally, there's episode 220, Uplifting. Since the 1950s, UFOs have been all the rage, but in the Victorian era, they had their own airborne hysteria to worry about, and it is a lot more strange than you would believe. Check it out today. And there you go, folks. Follow up this week's brand new episode with a trip into the past. Episodes 74, 87, and 220 are waiting for you in this podcast feed. You can just scroll through your app to find them, or you can tap on their direct links in the description for this episode. And until next time, stay spooky.
