In this episode Effie is covering the Scottish Witch Trials and we cover myths and lots of other witchy stuff! The Scottish Witchcraft Act was introduced in 1563 and followed on from trials that had taken place across Europe.
We are delighted to be bringing you this episode as we've had so many requests for the witch trials!
We also talk about tarring people and putting them in barrels, Jeremy Clarkson, annoying Tik Tokers and what we've been watching!
