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 the show. My team and I have made well over 300 episodes of this podcast over the last 10 years, so I know that frustration that you experience when you hear a new episode and it sparks a memory of a similar one and you just can't track it down. So that's where deeper lore comes in. The goal here is to quickly point you in the direction of some older related episodes so

that you can keep this week's topic alive just a little longer and go deeper. This week for episode 279, Singular, we dig into the unlikely topic of the mythical creature known as the Unicorn. As we learn though, the actual roots of this legend are far from shiny and covered in glitter. Honestly, it was a real eye-opener for me. But it's not the first time that we've discussed unusual creatures from legend. So here are three older episodes that will pair up nicely with this week's new one. First up, episode 130 in Plainsight. This old classic is a great tour through a few of the biggest names found in medieval bestiaries. And it all wraps up

with one of my favorite tales, that of the Warsaw Basilisk. You are going to love it. Next, episode 176 Rooted. For this one we dive deep into the woods and explore the shadowy folklore that has always been waiting inside. Things start off way over in Europe, but the episode ends pretty close to home, so do check it out. And finally there's episode 205, bit by bit. Humans have had a relationship with horses for thousands of years, and because of that

there is a lot of very old, very powerful folklore surrounding them. This one is a personal favorite and a perfect way to round off your tour of mythical creatures. And there you go! Follow up this week's brand new episode with a trip into the past. Episodes 130, 176, and 205 are waiting for you in this podcast feed. You can just scroll down through your app to find them, or you can tap their direct links in the description for this episode. And until next time, stay spooky.
