The Lore Lodge
Many history, folklore, and mythology channels dazzle you with well written scripts, beautiful imagery, and flashy British accents. Here, we do things a little differently. Stop in, grab a hot drink, and listen to your host, Aidan Mattis, tell you stories from both history and legend in an approachable, casual format. It's like you sat down at the bar and asked about Wendigos. Welcome to the Lore Lodge...
Background:
Host Aidan Mattis is a Penn State educated historian and folklorist, having earned his B.A. in Medieval Studies in 2020. Mattis is a writer and researcher with a particular interest in the Celtic world.
Technical Producer Aidan Thornbury has a background in Film, having earned his B.F.A. in Film and Journalism at New York University. Aidan has written, directed, edited, and at times acted in dozens of short films and media content over the past decade.

Hey everyone, I know you're probably sick of hearing about our trips out to Yosemite and the Rockies next year, but I do need to let those of you who are interested know that we only have two slots left on each trip!

Colorado Rockies: trovatrip.com/trip/north-america/colorado/united-s…

At long last, I've put together a place for people to submit video topic ideas. Ladies and gentlemen, I present the Tip Line: forms.gle/NhcP9XjAbUpAhgJb7
My hope is that this form will allow us to better curate content based on what our community wants to see and to create a list of topics for approved research assistants to draw from as I build up that part of the Lodge's staff.
If you're interested in assisting, keep an eye out for an announcement coming later this month or early next as we work out how that will...work.

Earlier today I hopped onto the Shaun Attwood channel to dispel some of the more bizarre conspiracy theories about Freemasonry, the Illuminati, and Bohemian Grove.

YouTube doesn’t want you to know we posted a video yesterday - no seriously the analytics show that they’re just not putting it out there for people. Anyway, Happy Halloween!

Update on the Halloween episode: Warner Brothers is bullying us again, despite us following fair use guidelines more than to the letter. Going to have to wait and see if the dispute settles today, or otherwise we'll have to upload a re-edited version tomorrow.

If any of you live near Sault St. Marie and have either a quality DSLR or film camera, or an iPhone 15 pro (or later), we could use some footage of the Soo Locks.
Happy to give both onscreen and verbal credit as well as a licensing fee! If you’re interested, shoot an email over to thornbury@redactedmediapa.com.
Edit: this is for a video about the Edmund Fitzgerald, not any MMIW or Missing 411 stuff, just to be clear.

Hey everyone, unfortunately I (Mattis) am not feeling too great tonight. Rather than have Thornbury do the show alone, we've decided to cancel tonight's episode. We'll be back next week with a bit of a spicy episode after our trip to State College, PA over the weekend to look into a few unsolved murders. As for tonight, fear not, as you can get your fix by checking out the brand new episode of @HistoryUnhingedPod in lieu of the live show!
Oh, and the obligatory "if you'd like to join us in Colorado next summer" thing: trovatrip.com/trip/north-america/colorado/united-s…
