February 06, 202495. Salem History: Danvers State Hospital (part 2)
Let's wander deeper into the halls of Danvers State Hospital with part two of our three-part series. Things get a bit darker this week as the history takes a turn for the worse with lobotomies, electroshock therapy, and a distinct lack of funds. Join Jeffrey and Sarah, your favorite Salem tour guides, for a chat about how the facility took a turn for the worse. But was Danvers State really as bad as we thought it to be?
We also have a special little chat for you about an upcoming Broadway Play about Salem! Curious? So were we. Special thanks to Valentine and Caroline for your insight!

Let's jump back into the Putnam Problem.

November 28, 2023 91. Witch Trials: The Putnams (part 1)
Welcome back to 1692. We're spending a couple weeks in Salem Village, with the Puritans who lived there. Specifically, the infamous Putnam family. Thomas Putnam Jr., Ann Sr., and Ann Jr. were responsible for more accusations of witchcraft than anyone else. It certainly seems like they had a bone to pick!
