If you like your podcasts dark and to fill you with a sense of dread, then you may have come across Aaron Mahnke's Lore series. Launched in March 2015, the audio show focuses on horror stories of old, touching on the origins of legendary beasts, ghosts, witches and murderers based on real-life accounts and historical events. The award-winning podcast already claims more than two million monthly listens, and now it's going to get the TV treatment.


quote:

According to The Hollywood Reporter, The Walking Dead executive producer Gale Anne Hurd is on board to turn Lore into an hourlong horror TV series.


quote:

Staying true to its roots, the adaptation will combine narration, "historical mixed media" and scripted scenes shot with actors. Lore is the latest podcast to get its own TV series and follows in the footsteps of real-crime series Serial, which was picked up by Fox 21 Television Studios late last year. It doesn't yet have a network attached, but production company Propagate Content will court broadcast and cable partners.

Started listening to this back in January (When Serial season 2 fell flat). It's by far one of the best developed podcast I've come across.

Saw your podcast recs in the other thread. I'll definitely be checking some of those out.

You ever listen to Last Podcast on the left? Pretty similar to some of your recs it looks like, but the three comedian hosts can be pretty annoying sometimes.

Never heard of it. But I'll add it to my quene.

I rarely listen to the comedy podcast because most of them run entirely too long. For example, Joe Rogan's show can go on for 3+ hrs depending on the guest. I can only deal with so much of that.

Well, I wouldn't listen to it for the comedy aspects of it because they can occasionally try too hard to be funny, but they talk a lot about some of the same type of crime/mystery/wtf stuff your other recs do.

I'll also recommend a podcast called "The Low Bar Podcast". It's a group of 4 or 5 mid-twenties that live all over the country. Most of their conversations slip into something morbid or wtf?

The Last Podcast On The Left is one of the best podcasts I've ever listened to. The perfect mix of learning and laughing.

Thanks for the Lore recommendation. I've listened to the first four episodes and it's awesome. Aaron is an amazing storyteller. I wasn't surprised to find out he's also an author. I'll also check out The Last Podcast on the Left. I'm looking forward to seeing how they bring it to TV.
