My latest for QAA is here! This time we're travelling back to Early Modern Europe at the time of mass witch trials, and taking a look at a handful of people who entertained the bizarre and whimsical notion that witches might not be real. m.soundcloud.com/qanonanonymo...

I loved the episode, but if I had one point of criticism, it's that you didn't spend nearly enough time talking about what a debauched pervert Heinrich Kramer was.

How times change. Nowadays thousands of upvotes on reddit. Once upon a time, evidence enough to send you to the stake..

A post to the Reddit community r/aww. The image is of a toad in an adorable little wizard outfit. The title reads "my little toad, toadbert, in his wizard halloween costume"

Do you know the source of the clip at the end of the episode? My jaw was on the floor listening to those corn cobs and I must know more.

It's a great episode! One of my favorite witch-facts is that from ~400–800 accusations of witchcraft were almost entirely made by kings against other kings as a political assassination tool. Mentions of female witches were rare-to-nonexistant.

This was a great episode. One thing: right wing consliracy dipshits often literally believe in cauldron stirring witches in hidden sub basements under every public school, yes, and there's the obvious parallels between Q bs, blood libel, child killing might spirits etc etc... But!

In Paderborn, there is a bronze sculpture that I *think* depicts one of those people. IIRC, he tried to convince his contemporaries that torture was not a good way to get honest answers out of people. I don't remember his name, though. 😞 Also, Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones!

I liked the episode too. Is the idea that the translation of the Latin word for magician with a female-gendered term by Martin Luther outdated? I have this in mind as a reason why in non-protestant areas the accusations were more fairly distributed between genders.

Thanks so much for this, the exasperated inquisitor making everyone shift to better practices for investigation had me working with a huged grin tonight.
