Recap of the Salem Tales and some adventures


Listen Later

 Our lively discussion opens with a spirited comparison of St. Augustine Distillery's straight bourbon against the much-lauded Whistle Pig. We fondly reminisce about cozy Florida evenings, White Claws in hand, and beanies snug on our heads. The conversation takes a historical twist as we unravel the complexities of the Salem witch trials, challenging the narratives spun by popular media like "The Crucible" and reflecting on the intricate social dynamics of the era.

From there, we turn up the volume with tales from our recent night out, featuring a delectable seafood boil paired with our signature Gouda cheese grits—a dish we defend with passion. Experience the thrill of live performances by bands like Spiritual Chaos and Catcher in the Rye, whose dynamic energy kept us buzzing long after the music stopped. As much as we love a good rock show, we also cherish the spontaneity of reconnecting with old friends and savoring the joys of being young grandparents, all while bracing ourselves for the whirlwind of Thanksgiving preparations.

Finally, we delve into the allure of historical narratives, debating the myth of the "good old days" and exploring our fascination with stories from the past. We invite listeners to join us on a virtual road trip through New England, where history and popular TV shows like Outlander intersect in provocative ways. As we gear up for Thanksgiving, prepare for an intense recounting of the Gertrude Banaszewski and Sylvia Likens story this Friday and share your own holiday traditions with us. Whether you're tuning in for the history, the music, or the personal stories, there's a bit of everything in this episode to captivate your imagination.
