I’m excited to be joined on the show today by guest author, Andrea Catalano. On this episode we’re going to talk about her book, The First Witch of Boston. Based on true firsthand accounts, John Winthrop’s own diary, and historical Massachusetts Bay Court records, The First Witch of Boston is the story of Thomas Jones and Margaret Jones, the first woman to be tried and executed for witchcraft in Boston in June of 1648.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
