When we talk about the Salem Witch Trials, we spend most of our time focused on 1692, give or take a half-century. Rarely do we bring it all the way to modern day. But many of those involved in the trials had descendants and we finally got the chance to interview one. Just as the stories of innocent victims are woven into our city's history, Sarah Wildes, has woven her way into Mary Bingham's life. Join Jeffrey and Sarah, your favorite Salem tour guides as they get to hear first-hand from a witch trial descendant, three times over, about her life, her research, her theories, and how the very concept of the Salem Witch Trials has impacted her life. A true lived historical experience.

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.
