The Hammer
Heinrich Kramer has a problem: the powers that be don’t believe in witches. He plans to change that. In this episode we examine the author of the Malleus Maleficarum, the most influential witch-hunting manual in Europe. Kramer was essential in the creation and promotion of the early modern witch, but did he invent her, or did he just borrow her?
Researched, written, and produced by Corinne Wieben, featuring the voice talent of Kiernan Angley and original music by Purple Planet.
