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 Plain Sight. 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. Episode 1 of the
