In this episode, we take a deep dive into the witch trials that occurred throughout Europe and New England. To start with, we discuss the role of legal developments and religion in popularising the phenomenon. Then, we talk about techniques used to catch 'witches', introducing The Witchfinder General, before highlighting the role of prejudices such as ageism and ableism that impacted who was accused of witchcraft. Finally, we delve into the events of the infamous Salem Witch Trials before discussing the enduring legacy of witch trials within both the legal system and popular culture.
