Love this witchy pod and so will you. That is if you have an interest in the history of witchcraft executions then and now. Good job!
Great content, speech sounds halting, scripted, using some incorrect grammar and language which is confusing, I’m not sure if you need to do some more practicing speaking or if this is nervousness but the content and research is actually excellent.
Very good history lessons, I’ve learned many new things. Lest we forget, lest we repeat.
Thoughtful and dedicated to raising awareness about witch hunts, from both the past and present. A truth wealth of great information!
