About this listen

Welcome to a shiny sparkly podcast.

Series 1 is about Women who were Condemned as Witches and the Men (asshats) who found them Guilty. 

 

Our first episode looks at The Mad Maid of Kent, Elizabeth Barton who really should have just kept quiet. As all good witches know, to Be Silent is part of the law and for good reason as we will find out.

Fact Check

 

During the podcast, Thomas More gets a shout-out. I am noted for saying that More was executed for not going along with the annulment of Catherine of Aragon and Henry VIII. This is incorrect. He was executed because he would not agree to sign a declaration that stated that he saw Henry VIII as head of the Church.
