Episode 58: Some Days, There's Birdsong...Other Days, There's Diarrhea

Saints & Witches

Today we revisit Germany/Holy Roman Empire in the midst of the Thirty Years’ War. First, we learn about the Würzburg witch trials, one of Europe’s largest mass executions, and the Jesuit Friedrich Spee who spoke out against it. Then, we discuss the life of Athanasius Kircher, the Jesuit priest and inventor who wrote about everything, but got it all wrong.
