82: Burnt at the Stake: Witch Trials, Ignorance, Fear, and Superstition

Louise and Virginia dive deep into historical witch trials, told through four fictional stories, based on real events from the 17th and 18th centuries. They discuss the fact that much of the ignorance and prejudice against women in particular,  sadly remains in the 21st century. On a lighter note they have also been diving into two great TV shows.   Books   The Witching Tide by Margaret Meyer The Wax Child by Olga Ravn The Names of a Hare by Bernice Barry The Last Witch of Scotland by Philip Paris   TV   The Dry   The Other Bennett Sister   Instagram @diving_in_podcast Song ‘Diving In’ – Original music and lyrics written and performed by Laura Adeline – https://linktr.ee/llauraadeline Podcast sound production and editing by Andy Maher Graphics by Orla Larkin – [email protected]
