Okay, Claire, quick question for you. How many stories did you grow up hearing, like, you know,

full on family legends that your aunt or your parent or whoever told you with just like

such confidence that you just assumed, yeah, that's canon, locked in, no notes. I know some shit

about my family. 100%. I don't think I questioned a single thing that my parents told me until I was at least 25. Okay. Like, they could tell me any crazy story about my ancestors and I would believe them. And then, like, as an adult, you look back and you think, wait, that doesn't sound

true. Is that really true? Enter the new podcast, family lore. It takes a look at iconic passed down

family stories and really gets into them. I mean, this is so great. I love this.

Like, what's real?

What's been embellished?

What's been smoothed over?

You know, to make the story just work a little bit better.

Little game of telephone through the generations, right?

Family lore takes those inherited narratives and just thoughtfully pulls them apart in a curious, what

really happened kind of way.

It's layered, it's a little messy, but it's all very human, which frankly, we love

to see.

So here's what I want to understand.

Yes.

What made you so interested in all this ancestral lines and ancestral influences?

So, I've been interested in it for so long that I can't remember when it started.

But all I can tell you...

So maybe like in childhood?

Childhood.
