Hey folks, Aaron here.
Welcome to Deeper Lore, a bonus episode that's designed to be a topical guide to the most
recent episode of Lore.
Some folks have favorites they like to revisit over and over again.
Others enjoy listening to certain topics.
They hear a new episode on one subject, and it sparks an interest in other stories on
the same topic.
The trouble is, with over 300 episodes to pick from, it's kind of hard to track
down specific ones now. So this little bonus episode is here to help, offering a guide to
folks who want to go a bit deeper into the lore. Thus, deeper lore. This week for episode 266,
What's in the Box, we get to meet a very interesting individual, self-proclaimed prophetess
and cult leader, Joanna Southcott. This episode is wild, partly because of the things that Joanna believed about herself,
and partly because of just how long her followers were willing to go along with it all.
Honestly, cults and folklore pair up like peanut butter and chocolate,
which is why Joanna's story isn't the first time we've covered wacky leaders and their gullible followers here on lore.
So here are three more episodes that resonate well with that particular theme. isn't the first time we've covered wacky leaders and their gullible followers here on lore.
So here are three more episodes that resonate well with that particular theme.
First up, episode 84 of Family Affair.
At first glance, this one seems like a family drama, not a cult story, but looks can be
deceiving.
This spiritualism-obsessed family in Vermont drew such a following that it also brought
in investigators. It's a wild story, from all the wacky and weird claims they were making to the
drama of getting to the bottom of it all and I think you'll love it.
Next, download episode 116 Something Blue. Some cults are more dangerous than
others and the story of Linda Hazard and her fasting cult off the coast of
Seattle ranks toward the top. This is the story of a cruel woman who used fake medical care to do darker things.
It's the sort of tragic story that will pair nicely with this week's tale of Joanna Southcott,
so check it out.
And finally, I recommend you go listen to episode 172, Under the Influence.
When we hear about cults, we often hear about friends or relatives who get sucked in and lose everything.
And we're left wondering, how could it ever happen at all?
Well, the story of Brother 12 and his utopian community is a perfect answer to that question.
This one is a trip, so please give it a listen.
So there you go, folks.
Follow up this week's brand new episode with a trip into the past.
