You will hear a detailed discussion on how with time the hysteria of the Salem Witch trails ended. Various factors, such as the changing local political climate and the rules around convictions changed - but not overnight. Also provided will be an explanation of the archaic court system used then in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, that in some ways hastened both convictions and hangings. And provided will be a better understanding of those who were still in jail as of 1693 and their eventual fate. The events between 1692 through to 1711 will be covered, through interviews with Josh Hutchinson and Sarah Jack, both descendants of those tried and convicted at the time.
This is the third podcast on this topic of New England Witch Trials and links to the other two are below.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
