"All History is current; all injustice continues on some level, somewhere in the world."
-Alice Walker
Do you ever wonder exactly how things got this bad? Racism, misogyny, disease, the death of our planet-- how did no one see this coming? (Answer: many people did). More importantly though, what can we do to stop it?
Cursed History is a bi-weekly podcast that explores the past to get answers to these questions. The pieces of history interlock like a horrible 4D Rubik's Cube, creating a cause-and-effect chain that extends from early civilization to today.

Enter Countess Erzebet Bathory, the Blood Countess of Hungary. This week kick back and relax while Marley and MJ go over the fact—and fiction—behind one of the most famous “vampires” in history.
