ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
A spiritual crisis grips the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1692 that results in the deaths of twenty-five people and effectively ended a budding American theocracy. Remarkable Providences dives deep into the climate of purity and resentment that generated one of the most enduring–and misunderstood–American myths. Kate Devorak, a former Salem tour guide and current Salem nerd, takes us through the story of how fear, greed, prejudice, and zeal caused a community to nearly destroy itself from the inside out.
Remarkable Providences is a podcast about Puritans and pettiness, magic and misogyny, gospel and government, and, of course, the Salem Witch Trials.

Feuds play out amongst righteously unfun Christian colonists in a sub-suburban Massachusetts Bay village looking to make a name for itself, and the only way to do that is to get a spiritual life coach. The result must rank as one of the most disastrous job searches in history.

A petty, neurotic, spiteful village in need of a cheap win finds its match with a petty, neurotic, spiteful man in need of a cheap win.The importance of clear and equitable contract negotiation is impressed.

The Parris girls are afflicted; we talk about what that means and why that matters, and debunk a few common theories about it while taking the long way down Lay Off Tituba, Y'all Lane.

We read both Mather Reports and take a look at some of the cases of supernaturally-themed bigoted political murders that Salem residents might have seen before in this ostentatiously self-titled episode.

Oh my god. I can't believe this is the real episode title. We discuss the very scientific method that was used to track the witch afflicting Betty and Abigail, and Samuel brings a bunch of dumbasses to town to ask for advice. The first targets of what would become the trials are named.

This week, we're taking a deeper look at what Puritans mean by "witch," what we mean by "witch," why that's different, and why that matters.

Heads up for some graphic depictions of colonial violence at 04:30-05:05 and 13:30-14:15.
War haunts the Puritans of Salem. Trapped by their own hand in an endless cycle of bloody conflict against indigenous people, their conception of a Satanic enemy blurs with their image of the people they slau…
