We have a special treat for our listeners this week - not one but two new episodes dropping simultaneously! Today marks the return of Professor Richard Raiswell of the University of Prince Edward Island, who previously joined us for our fascinating "Speak of the Devil" episode where we explored Satan as one of history's most enduring and complex figures.

In this two-part special The Evolution of Diabolical Witchcraft Belief Professor Raiswell takes us deeper into the dark intersection where demonology meets witch persecution. We'll explore the critical relationship that developed between demons and witchcraft specifically in the 15th century - a connection that would become the driving force behind the witch hunts.

If you enjoyed our previous exploration of devil lore, these episodes are essential listening, as Professor Raiswell helps us understand how theological concepts about Satan evolved into specific accusations and persecution mechanisms.

Both Part 1 and Part 2 are available now wherever you get your podcasts.
