82: Burnt at the Stake: Witch Trials, Ignorance, Fear, and Superstition
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Louise and Virginia dive deep into historical witch trials, told through four fictional stories, based on real events from the 17th and 18th centuries. They discuss the fact that much of the ignorance and prejudice against women in particular, sadly remains in the 21st century. On a lighter note they have also been diving into two great TV shows.
