Hey folks, Aaron here. Welcome to Deeper Lour, a bonus episode designed to be a topical guide

to the most recent episode of lore. Some folks have favorites they like to revisit over and over. Others

enjoy listening to certain topics. They hear a new episode on one subject, then it sparks an

interest in other stories on that same topic. The trouble is,

with more than 300 episodes to pick from from the last decade, it's hard to track down specific

episodes. So, think of this little bonus episode as a guide, offering folks help to find a story

that they're looking for, to go a bit deeper, thus deeper lore.

This week for episode 267, Curveball, we encounter an unexpected corner of folklore by taking a look at baseball.

It may sound incongruous at first, but baseball has been around long enough that it's actually picked up quite a few bits of superstition along the way, as well as a few

curses. And that's a topic we've touched on many times in the past. So if you need more

curse content in your life, here are three more episodes that resonate well with that

particular theme. First up, episode 13 off the path. This one is super old, so you can either

listen to the original bad amateur Aaron audio

version or the more recent remastered version of the same script.

Either way, this is a great place to start, especially for fans of Werewolf Lore and Ireland,

which might not make sense right now, but it will once you listen.

Oh, and the intro?

It starts off with baseball.

Next, go download episode 83, carried away.

In this classic, we visit a particular branch of folklore surrounding Romani curses,

and one man in particular.

It's a great twist on an old favorite and educational at the same time.
