Real History Informs Lore

This podcast is interesting in that it addresses actual history more than folklore, but still feels very much like its focus is folklore. The narrator writes engaging dramatizations to bring the actual events to life and explores the lore that results from the tellings and interpretations of real events. The result is a delightful podcast that intersects history of a specific area with folklore.
