Tune in now to hear the first part of our deep dive into witch trials across time and space. We start with the Black Death; then one badass lady, Helena Schuberin, and the Malleus Maleficarum; followed by King James VI's hunt for weather witches and the trials of Geilles Duncan (Outlander?!) and Agnes Sampson; and rounded out with brief mentions of the Pendle witches and the Witchfinder General himself, Matthew Hopkins. What can we say except: history hates women.
Created and co-hosted by Georgia Abrams and Hannah Rucinski.
Sound design by Shannon Webster.
Inspired by your mom's pillow talk.
