What's Haunting You?

    WHY Bonus - Alewives, Wortcunners & Witches - Oh My!

    I was excited to use Halloween as an excuse to talk about Alewives and how they likely became the blueprint to the scary witch trope we know today. I share a bit of a medieval poem used to disparage a female brew master at the beginning just for fun but you can skip that and go to 4:12 for the podcast. Happy Halloween!
