Episode 323 : The Salem Witch Trials

Michelle is here and we are diving into the factual history behind the events of the Salem Witch Trials, starting with the now out-of-print Chick Tract that's the most historically accurate one I've ever read. In today's Culty History lesson, we discuss "spectral evidence", the impact of accusations, and the underlying motives of land disputes, while drawing parallels between the trials and modern societal fears. Throughout our chat, we emphasize the cyclical nature of mass hysteria events and the importance of understanding history so we are not doomed to repeat it.

But first, the McRib is back and we need to talk about it.
