106. Elizabeth Lines, Titanic Survivor
Yes, you read that right! Let's take a deep dive to the Titanic. This week Jeffrey and Sarah were joined by special guest L.A. Beadles, host of Unsinkable, the Titanic Podcast. Both our subjects sit at the crossroads of dark history and collective tragedy. But the real question you're probably wondering is, "how on earth could Salem and the Titanic be linked?!

105. Witch Trials: Dropping 1692 Into History
We are often wrapped in the cloak of Salem, its history, its architecture, its vibe. But 1962 stands as the consummate marker of our history. But what else was going in the world at that time? What names might the puritans in Salem have heard? So join Jeffrey and Sarah, your favorite Salem tour guides as they talk 1692. Do you think Increase Mather ever saw a Shakespeare play? Did the judges have discussions about Isaac Newton and theories of gravity or planetary motion? Did Betty Paras ever meet someone who signed the Declaration of Independence? It's all possible. And oh how fun it is to speculate!

104. The Groton "Witch"
Okay, but she wasn't actually accused of witchcraft, nor did she really accuse anyone of witchcraft. Was Elizabeth Knapp afflicted like Betty Paris and Abigail Williams? Absolutely. But why didn't her strange behavior lead to a witch hunt like the Puritan's would see in Salem twenty years later. Join Sarah and Jeffrey, your favorite Salem tour guides, as they talk about the so-called Groton “witch.”

Customer Reviews
Love the Pod!
I look forward to Tuesday for this podcast! So much fantastic information and so much we missed while visiting. We will be back to catch some of your recommendations. I love how much you love your Salem! I can feel it in your voices! Congratulations on such an amazing podcast!
Amazing Podcast
I love this podcast. Not only is it really informative, but the hosts are amazing and funny. I love getting to hear about Salem, one of my favorite places, but the hosts really make the show. I’ve learned a lot from this show, but it’s always fun at the same time.
Very Helpful!
At the time of writing this review, I am in school and working on an NHD project for the Salem Witch Trials. Im not great with remembering read information, but this podcast was very helpful with giving information I could remember! Their voices have a good amount of calmness and fun in their tones, and they definitely give lots of information about the 1692 witch hunts, and surrounding information I could find no where else. Thank you so much for this podcast!
