Listen Later

Wouldst thou like to live deliciously? We’re kicking off spooky season with a dive in to one of the original 13 colonies: Massachusetts! Rachel talks about one of her favorite historical topics, The Salem Witch Trials. Sam tells us about America’s favorite axe murderer, Lizzie Borden. We also chat about how we’re celebrating October, if we’d rather be burnt at the stake or hanged, and how much the Puritans sucked. Stay spooky, beetches!
