We're back, witches! This week, Georgia continues the discussion of witch trials with some lesser discussed Salem facts; England's last witch, Helen Duncan; McCarthyism and the Lavender Scare; and... the defamation trial of Stormy Daniels?? It's a wild and depressing ride reminding us once again that history hates women and nothing has changed.

Created and co-hosted by Georgia Abrams and Hannah Rucinski.
Sound design by Shannon Webster.
Inspired by your mom's pillow talk.
