Modern Witch Hunts (feat. Therese Lee)

1 hour 39 minutes

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign sit down with special guest Therese Lee to unpack her new series, Witches, Whores, and Rebels, which explores how history repeats itself whenever powerful systems begin to break down. Again and again, women become the targets. From early witch hunts to modern political scapegoating, Therese examines how economic collapse, social panic, and patriarchal control create the same cycle throughout time.

But first, in Tea Time, the hosts dive into a new app that lets users talk to AI avatars of deceased loved ones, churches lashing out after being exposed for refusing to help starving babies, and Megyn Kelly defending behavior no one expected her to defend. Later in the Mailbag, a listener asks whether child free women secretly worry they may regret their choice.

🎧 This episode draws a clear line between today’s political climate and the centuries of misogyny and economic control that shaped it, revealing how modern attacks on women mirror the past in chilling ways.

🎙️ Topics Discussed:

Why women are always targeted during political and economic collapse

How witch hunts were rooted in economics, ownership, and control

The connection between modern misogyny and historical scapegoating

AI technology and the ethical concerns around digital necromancy

How religious narratives still influence motherhood, family, and women’s autonomy

Why more women are rejecting traditional roles and choosing independence
