Jen Curran to discuss the Affair of the Poisons which ultimately led to the execution of the French “wise woman” La Voisin. Are witches real or were they the product of the religious mystique at the time? Could the Criminal Magical Underworld of Paris take the fall for this one? And why is No Social Services for Women up on the Alarmist Board? Producer Clayton Early and Fact Checker Chris Smith help crack the case. Join our Patreon!
