Salem Witch Trials in Real Time: Follow throughout the year


Listen Later

We are happy to introduce Salem Witch Trials Daily, our new podcast that follows the 1692 Salem Witch Trials in real time, day by day, court date by court date, through the documented record. In Salem, Massachusetts, 19 people were executed, one man was pressed to death for refusing trial, and more than a hundred others were accused and imprisoned, leaving a lasting mark on American history. Building on the extraordinary listener response to this series when it launched within The Thing About Salem, the show now has its own dedicated feed, available wherever you get podcasts. Each micro-episode is tied to the actual calendar of 1692 and draws directly from primary sources like court documents, examination transcripts, petitions, letters, and contemporary accounts, alongside established scholarship and our own research. We also provide weekly companion blog posts and downloadable worksheets on aboutsalem.com for deeper, self-paced learning.00:00 Salem Tragedy 169200:28 Meet The Hosts00:38 New Daily Podcast01:14 How Episodes Work01:34 Primary Sources Focus02:01 Learn At Your Pace02:34 Why Accuracy Matters03:00 Subscribe And Follow
