Episode 2.6: Season Finale! Witch Trials End, Innocent People Died, & Witch Hunts Continue
This episode is the Season Finale of Season 2! Join Kimberly and Angela to hear how the witch trials ended, who was pardoned and exonerated, and who apologized for their involvement with the trials.
How some current legal rights, such as the right to counsel, to confront your accusers, and to be declared innocent until proven guilty grew out of some of the injustices of the witch trials.
At long last, more current witch hunts are discussed - McCarthyism, abuses in the immigration system, the war on women, and how the 45th President flipped the gender rolls typically seen in witch hunts. What we all can do to guard against more witch hunts occurring is examined.

Customer Reviews
Great!
Loving the coverage of the Salem Witch Trials and hearing about what really happened. It is nice to hear women speaking out against violence, bigotry, and racism too.
Low volume
Phone volume at highest volume, voice volume is low and hard to hear
Stellar break from the norm
This podcast is fabulous! Instead of just running down facts of an unsolved mystery in vivid detail, the policy analysis underpinning the investigation illustrates the shortcomings of our history and provides invaluable guidance for our future. Really compelling storytelling and beneficial education.
Thank you for putting such useful and exciting information into such an easily consumed tutorial!
