    THE QUARRELSOME DAMES RETURN

    Zoe and Claire come clean about why there has been no podcast in a while and what they have been up to... SPOILER : They've written a book! Their publishers say "HOW TO KILL A WITCH is a compelling and detailed investigation into the historic persecution of women as witches by Claire Mitchell and Zoe Venditozzi, founders of the world-famous Witches of Scotland campaign.
