The Thing About Witch Hunts
The Thing About Witch Hunts is the podcast of witch-hunts, witch trials, and harmful practices related to accusations of witchcraft. From the Connecticut Witch Trials and the Salem Witch Trials to the ramifications of modern-day witch-hunts, Witch Hunt covers it all. Tune in today to find out why The Thing About Witch Hunt is an essential podcast for students, researchers, academics, descendants of witch trial victims, advocates, and everyone else interested in this intriguing subject.
Through expert interviews, informed dialogue, and rich storytelling, hosts Josh Hutchinson and Sarah Jack bring the world of witch hunts to life for modern listeners. We dive deep into historic witch trials and share news of modern-day witch-hunts. Join us as we seek justice for the wrongfully accused and try to answer an age-old question: How do you put an end to witch-hunts?
The Thing About Witch Hunts is an affiliate of End Witch Hunts, a nonprofit organization working to clear the names of accused witches and to end modern-day witch-hunts by spreading awareness of history and current events. The first such effort is Connecticut Witch Trial Exoneration Project, which worked to clear the names of those accused of witchcraft there during the 17th century and is no working on honoring the victims through memorials and education.
