Witch

Our take on Witch podcast

Witch is a compelling exploration of modern witchcraft. In each episode, India Rakusen (from 28ish Days Later) takes you from a Beltane ritual in Nottingham to covens in Scotland and Cornwall. She beautifully uncovers the layers of the witch identity today and the alluring mystique of communal rites. With a touching investigation into ageism and the historical targeting of older women during Europe's witch hunts, she brings to light past injustices that still echo today. Yet, the series also presents a critical eye toward the commercial aspects of the craft, questioning the ethics behind profiting from magic. Rakusen's approach is thought-provoking, offering a fresh view of a world shrouded in enchantment and mystery. Witch is a personal journals podcast by BBC Radio 4.
