Description

I gather together a gaggle of witchcraft historians to discuss the cult TV gameshow 'The Traitors'. To what extent do the machinations of the contestants in the show, whichever version that might be, draw parallels with the witch-hunts of the Early Modern Period?


Joining me to debate this are:


Professor Marion Gibson

Dr Tabitha Stanmore

Tracey Norman


All of whom are returning guests to the show.
