  • Summary

  • 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.
