Welcome to Historical Frictions, a historical fiction podcast, where we delving into the nitty-gritty of history, fiction, and everything in between, hosted by Hilary, Tess, and Lachlan.

This week we are talking about a childhood fav movie for Tess and Hilary, and Lachlan's first time experiencing Hocus Pocus! Included in this episode is a short and off the cuff discussion by Tess about the history of Halloween, from its possible pagan roots through to its modern interpretations. Plus a little chat about all things Salem and the Sanderson Sisters! This is our last spooky episode (until next October), and we will be releasing out reading list tomorrow. Happy Halloween!

Tess, Lachlan, and Hilary would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land they live and work: Kaurna Country (Adelaide Plains) and the Gadigal of the Eora Nation (Sydney), and pay our respects to the Elders both past and present.
