New ep: the story of Anna Göldi, sometimes called ‘the last witch,’ who was executed in 🇨🇭in 1782; just 7 years before the French Revolution & long after witch trials were rampant in Europe. It took 200+ years for this miscarriage of justice to be addressed. Listen now wherever you source your pods.

In case you ever wondered what Sarah Bernhardt sounded like. (At the very least, you gotta check out the Phèdre track; it's wild.)
