As it’s Halloween we’re getting into everything witchy; exploring famous witches, covens and all-female communities in fiction. We discuss how witches are making a comeback and their role within modern day feminism, as well as talking about how we bring magic into own own lives (including a deep dive into our star signs - sorry not sorry).

We discuss Hocus Pocus, TV show Yellowjackets, Willow in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Hermione in Harry Potter, Naomi Alderman’s novel The Power, Mariana Enriquez short story collection The Dangers of Smoking in Bed, Women Who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés and Robert Egger’s film The Witch. Plus our latest cultural recommendations!
