Extra #2 - Iced
Added 2015-08-31 12:04:52 +0000 UTCGreetings, faithful Lore supporters!
It's another "off Monday", and while that means no new Lore in your podcast feed, you are one of the luck few who get to listen to a brand new, fully-produced Lore Extra. It's going to be a hot day today in my neighborhood, but I think this episode will keep you nice and cool.
And as always, thanks for your amazing and generous support!
Aaron @ Lore

This episode was very well done, definitely one of your best. I'm biast, though: short stories are my favorite genre. They tend to make the one subject chosen the sole focus to the point where there's not only a filling but a fulfillment - as if a cup is never drained. It also gives the author the opportunity to be succinct and from there present vast tracks of meaning. Or, like you did here, to add on or have the evidence "driven home," as it were. Thank you.

2016-09-24 15:56:17 +0000 UTCI saw an episode of Nova about the examination of the mummy. Cool story and fascinating science! -- <a href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/ancient/iceman-murder-mystery.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/ancient/iceman-murder-mystery.html</a>

2016-04-25 18:07:28 +0000 UTCI can't believe you missed an ample opportunity to call this episode The Iceman Cometh- that being said, wonderful and spooky! I've never heard of the Otzi case before, now Im curious to look up the mummy for myself

2016-04-18 18:03:56 +0000 UTCI always found the Oatsy case fascinating, mostly because there is something so inherently creepy about finding a dead body that is so old and so well-preserved that it almost feels like a lie. The fact that so many people close to the expedition died could be coincidence...but it's interesting to wonder if it wasn't.

2016-01-07 20:47:35 +0000 UTCI was thinking, if there really is a curse, why would Oatsy care about where his body is after 3000 years. I mean, he wasn't buried, he lay where he fell. Which makes me think that maybe there's something nasty attached to his body, maybe that something nasty was the reason he was hunted and killed.
