    This is a great podcast except for episode two and Dr. Michele Brock’s comments…
    Very interesting podcast taking a deep dive into the witch hunts that took place in Scotland. I’m enjoying this except for the comments of Dr. Michelle Brock who said “...Society has anxieties about the future and we look for people to scapegoat. We look for, still today, people to demonize and people in positions of power stroke their fears.” She then astonishingly calls up Russian bots to support her belief instead of bringing up Trump claiming Mexican immigrants “...are bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime, they’re rapists...” If there is a better example of people in power attempting to stoke fear in the masses, that was it. Not Russian bots. Unbelievable. Seriously, Michelle, your true colors are showing. I hope the next guests won’t be so obvious in their political beliefs.
