D&D Beyond has a podcast with a "lore you should know" every week
Robert Reyes
Read the novels, and track down the various sets like the AD&D black box, the 2E hardcover, and so on
Ayden Miller
That's the official D&D podcast. I don't think Beyond has one outside of those interview segments they put on youtube.

Step 1: Pull down your pants, user. Yeah, like that.
Good. Feels good, doesn't it?
Now what are your feelings on incest?

I always found that drinking bleach while masturbating gave me greater insight into the minds of FR's creative team.

Seriously, though, Baldur's Gate is a remarkably good way to immerse yourself into the setting.
Lucas Barnes
Serious answer: the Forgotten Realms Campaign Set (gray box, dude onna horse cover art) is the best way to get into the lore from a gaming perspective. The AD&D 1e splats are pretty good too, with Moonshae being a personal favorite. After reading the campaign set's lore, look up areas that interest you on the Forgotten Realms wiki.
Jace Howard
Play Baldur's Gate and read all the lore books you come across; that'll give you a good primer.

Depends which lore you want to learn.
>Original
Greybox, get it, then browse other material from around that time.
>When they started incorporating the novels into lore
Then you want to look at stuff that came out post-Forgotten Realms Adventures
>You prefer it to be more black and white, and less detailed
Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting (3e)
>You want the 3e lore but with a few touches of 2e sprinkled in and the occasional 4e bit
Forgotten Realms Wiki
>You want the 4e lore
Go fuck yourself
>You want the 5e lore
Good luck.

This is pretty good; the wiki is pretty threadbare but will normally source you at least and you can find most of the referenced PDFs online.
One good, if a bit old fashioned one, is the 2nd ed Players Guide to Forgotten Realms which was done in the format of the diary of an adventurer as they traveled with their party. Gave a good insight into the setting as it stood at the time, though 3rd ed FR is a different animal.

4e is peak FR.
Daniel Evans
I agree, 4e was also when they did Dark Sun right, and 3e was when Greyhawk finally became a playable setting.
Oliver Watson
Look for an archive of the Candlekeep forum.

>did Dark sun right
>not needing to make 4 characters because death was an absolute certainty for no less than two of them
You're functionally retarded.
