  6. Episode 45 – Strange Medicine - Folk Magic in East Texas and the South

    ٠٣‏/٠٨‏/٢٠١٩

    Episode 45 – Strange Medicine - Folk Magic in East Texas and the South

    Some magic is born of necessity. Instead of a wand or staff, folks were more likely to use a forked twig or a piece of silverware. Instead of elaborate potions and elixirs, common people would use water, herbs and river stones. Instead of an ancient, leather-bound grimoire or tome, more people than you’d expect would look to the Holy Bible for spellwork. This magic is as real to the people who practice it as making a phone call or bandaging a paper cut is to you or me. It’s been practiced since the dawn of humankind, it’s still practiced today and it’s been going on right here in East Texas from the very beginning. In this episode, tune in to learn about the strange history of folk magic in East Texas and the South and some of the legends about these mysterious practices.

    Episode 44 - From Midnight Until Dawn - Texas Executions

    For more than 200 years, Texas has used the death penalty to punish its worst criminals and to dissuade others from committing similar crimes. From hemp rope and gallows poles to lethal injection, the Lone Star State has made history in this grim practice and now executes more prisoners than any other state in the country. The practice has changed over time and the process has never been as simple or straightforward as some might think. On this episode of the Dispatch, I'll tell you about the long and dark history of capital punishment in Texas and several death penalty cases which made their way to this part of the state.
