The ocean is beautiful. But it is also unforgiving. Just beyond Salem’s shoreline, hidden ledges, shifting fog, and unpredictable weather have claimed ships and their passengers for centuries. Some wrecks ended in tragedy. Others in relief. And at le... more
He was a man of numbers, perhaps THE man of numbers! Nathaniel Bowditch was a math super-genius, an astrologer, a bookkeeper, a finance bro, a shipmaster, a sailor, and by any and every account, a very practical navigator. Join Sarah and Jeffrey, you... more
Salem is certainly full of witches. Some, however, fly above the rest for their influence and impact on the community--Samantha Stevens, Laurie Cabot, BORAH, etc. But have you met the Good Witch of Salem? You've probably seen her waltzing through dow... more

I found this podcast just now and have binge listening since! Jeffrey and Sarah are awesome! I love the diversity in their episodes. I have learned a lot about the city currently and the history of so many things, not just the trials. I can’t wait to visit one day!
Update!
Still listening! Finished binge listening and am fully caught up! Still love it and can’t wait to go on your tours in a few months when I visit Salem for the first time this year!
This podcast is hands down one of my favorites. I love that Jeffrey and Sarah are actual historians and tour guides. I am a history lover and want the actual truth and to learn and this is what I’ve been longing for because it’s the real history and my favorite place. They also cover everything you need to know when it comes to the lay of the land to things to do. I highly recommend this podcast for my fellow Salem lovers and even first time Salem visitors, this is the podcast where you can find... more
Started listening to the podcast in preparation for a recent trip to Salem. Loved it so much we did a walking tour with Jeffrey which was great! Now we need to go back and tour with Sarah!
Loved our tour in Salem with Sarah and have been listening to the podcast ever since with my Dad as we roadtrip around the east coast. The episodes on the trials add so much context and give us so many conversation starters and plot points to theorize about! Feels like we’re traveling backing in time spilling tea and solving murders right along side Sarah and Jeffrey! (I feel remorseful being so excited to learn about such a grim bit of history. RIP to all the victims).
I went to Salem for my 40th birthday and went on a walk with Sarah as our storyteller. She was great; her voice is so calming and I love hearing it in podcast form. Her cohost is also great. I think the information is interesting and well researched. I would recommend if you are interested in Salem and its history.
