Lore 263: Elementary

Aaron Mahnke
About this episode

When we talk about the intersection of history and folklore, few individuals in history sat themselves so firmly on that target like well-known one man. The lesser known elements of his life, though, are the most fascinating.

Narrated and produced by Aaron Mahnke, with writing by GennaRose Nethercott, and research by Cassandra de Alba, and music by Chad Lawson.
