I hope it didn't scare them too bad. Actually, the screeching cat was intended to help wake up listeners!

@@ronmiddlebrook8431 No, it didn't scare them, they just thought it was a cat fight and they wanted to investigate. But I would say this is my favorite podcast thus far. I loved it!

Well done, thank you! Two points that may not be accurate.: 1. The persecution of witches did not reach its height in medieval time, but in the Renaissance period. 2 Tituba made the witch cake following the instruction of a neighbor woman...it is a remedy rooted in English folk practice, not the Americas or Carribean.

Hi Eileen. Thank you. Do you have any primary source material that will back up these points?
