Something Wicked: Witch Hunts in the Tudor Age

In the 16th and 17th centuries, Scotland and England saw witch panics sweep through the land. Many people were tried, and some were put to death because of changes of witchcraft. The vast majority of them were women. In this Halloween special, we try and understand where these witch panics came from and see them through the eyes of the women they hurt.

The choral music in this episode comes courtesy of a choral group from New Zealand called The Tudor Consort.
