We did not want to stand y'all up two weeks in a row, so here is a special release from the Patreon.  It starts a little slow then Producer Mike and I find our stride.  But if you've been on the fence about becoming a supporter maybe this will push you over the edge (in a good way).   There's a link below or you can simply search The Lore of the South on the Patreon site or app.

Hey Tare, if you're out there I still have your little goody bad ready to ship. Email us your info and it will be on its way.

Merry Christmas y'all! Thank y'all for being with us for another year, it's our 3rd birthday!

This is an episode I have been looking forward to doing!  Glamis is an ancient castle that has it all! A monster heir, a grey lady ghost, clashes of clans, people getting walled up alive...  Oh and it kinda looks like Hogwarts.  Also it's the home to the Queen Mother's family.  Anyway!  I hope y'all enjoy this episode.

Thank you Tare for your review!  Email the show at [email protected] so we can mail you, your little goodie bag.

And we have a new Patreon supporter! Tarryn, thank you for your support! If you'd like to help out the show, simply search The Lore of the South on Patreon.com
