{Ep27} S08 E12 "The Witch's Curse" with Carolyn Paine!
Happy Halloween! You know how sometimes everyone in your town thinks a woman is a witch because it's windy outside when she enters a room or because she's playing a witch in a play? You know, blatant and obvious witchcraft. Well, we discuss that happening in Cabot Cove with our amazing guest,...

You guys, all the accents. Just Americans doing horrendous accents. I am talking about the podcast you're about to listen to and the episode of Murder, She Wrote we just watched. So, you've been warned. So bad, in fact, it almost overshadows all the racism. And don't forget to head over to...
