Episode notes
In this episode, we dive broomstick first into the eerie world of Matthew Hopkins, England's infamous Witchfinder General. With a mix of curious banter, historical sleuthing, and just the right amount of cackling, we unearth the strange, spooky, and often absurd tales of 17th century witch hunts, and most importantly, attempt to answer the question; Who gave this guy a badge, and why was everyone so scared of a few odd cats and herbal tea?
