Lore 289: Shake It

Aaron Mahnke
About this episode

Folklore can take many forms, but most involve words in a specific language. One exception, though, are the traditions passed down through a very different kind of communication.

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