Hey folks, Aaron here.

When Lour was new, it was pretty easy to listen to all the episodes, but at this point we're quickly

approaching 250 and that's honestly a daunting amount of content, so I wanted to try something new. A lot of the

episodes that we publish are connected to a larger branch of folklore. So monster episodes or

bizarre true crime cases, things like that. we've even done more than one episode

discussing the folklore known as medicinal cannibalism which yeah is exactly what it

sounds like so I've started to wonder what it would be like to give you a follow-up to new

episodes that helps guide you to previous episodes that are topically related.

So let's give it a try.

This week's episode, No. 243, Surprise, was about a very unique witch trial in the early 1600s known as the Basque

witch trials and it's not the first time that we've discussed witch trials

throughout history that seemed to defy the stereotypical witch accusation stuff.

First, go download episode 25, The Cave.

This one is set far far away from Europe on a small South American

island called Chillaway and it explores a weird witchcraft cult run by a bunch of

men called the Brujo. Their story, set in the late 1800s, is super disturbing and fascinating.

And I think you'll love it. Next up is episode 140, Potential. This one is all about a witch trial that broke out in the late 1500s in Italy.

And what's amazing about this one is that somehow the community managed to correct course and

prevent a massive tragedy. Still, it's a terrifying story and worth a listen.

And last go grab episode 156, Bottled Up. Yes, it's a witch story set right in the heart of
