  • Alice Kyteler and the Kilkenny Witch Trials
    Oct 1 2025

    Alice Kyteler's witchcraft trial shocked 14th century Ireland. Today, the charges against her are seen largely as nonsense, and more about personal vendettas and struggles for power.

I'm always looking for a good history podcast, one that isn't too dry and also well researched. The hosts do a great job. But, after 5 episodes, all the ads have really gotten to me. It seems to be about a third of each episode. I've never listened to a podcast with this many.

Good podcast, so many ads
