There 's something that happens when you 're sitting around family,
maybe at a holiday dinner, maybe just an ordinary afternoon, and someone leans in and says, did I ever tell you about?
And just like that, you're pulled into a family story, so specific, so detailed, you never think to question it.
It just becomes true.
Until one day, you hear it again and wonder, wait, is that actually what happened?
That's where the new podcast, Family Lore, begins.
It takes those stories, the ones passed down,
polished, protected, and gently starts to pull at the edges, not to ruin them, but to understand them.
In this special presentation, you'll hear a preview of Family Lore Episode 1, The Unsinkable Margarita Sames.
Yes, that margarita.
The one that shows up at celebrations, vacations, sometimes Tuesdays.
But like any good story, it comes with a question.
Who actually invented it?
Family lore follows one family's claim that their aunt created the legendary cocktail.
As you listen, search for family lore wherever you get your podcasts.
And when you're done, maybe call someone in your family.
Ask them to tell that story again.
And this time, ask questions.
I want to tell you a quick story that might be the true origins of this podcast.
It was a hot summer afternoon in Texas, and I was about 12 years old.
