The Hexperts

Sybil Leek Part One

Brett and Nikki dive into the early life of Britain's most famous witch and perhaps most dumbfounding braggart, Sybil Leek. Later, Brett is quizzed on knowledge from past episodes, including who wasn't in Alvin And The Chipmunk, which Beatles are still alive, and what's the worst way to spell Nikki. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

The Gospel of Aradia

Have you heard the Gospel of Aradia? Neither had anyone else, until folklorist Charles Godfrey Leland showed up.

Curses

From the evil eye to Etsy witches, Brett and Nikki break down the history of curses, and discuss whether there is an ethical way to hex a bitch.

Egregores, Featuring The Paranormal Parlour

Brett and Nikki welcome Carly Billings and Cecilia O'Grady, independent theatre creators, hosts of the spooky new podcast 'The Paranormal Parlour,' and girl women.

Malleus Maleficarum

Brett talks about a book too vile and too poorly written for even a dweeb like him to get through, as we discuss the horrors unleashed upon women and 'witches' by Inquisitor Heinrich Kramer after he was bullied by a girl. Later, silly walk to Camelot as Brett is quizzed on his Monty Python knowledge in a game that Nikki totally didn't steal from a popular streaming service.
