We all carry stories. Some of them are the big cultural ones, the shared understandings of history,

who gets centered, how things are supposed to work. And then there are the more intimate ones.

The stories pass back and forth across kitchen tables, revisited at holidays, told and retold until they settle in as facts. But over time, these stories

can start to feel a little too neat, and we find ourselves asking new questions, not to undo

everything, but to see more clearly. That's what makes the new podcast family lore so interesting.

It gently returns to the stories families carry and looks at them

with fresh curiosity, not to disrupt for the sake of it, but to better understand what's true,

what's been shaped over time, and what might still be waiting to be heard, because knowing

more and feeling more will help us do more

and be better.

Here's a preview of family lore, and if it resonates, you can find it now wherever you listen

to podcasts.

Childhood.

Did you do the DNA test?

I've not done that.

I wasn't all that interested in the statistical breakdown of my DNA.
