This week we are back in 1692 and talking about another victim of the Salem Witch Trials. Sarah Good, a homeless woman with a newborn child and a four-year-old daughter. One of the first to be accused and arrested. The first to be questioned. Join Sarah and Jeffrey, your favorite Salem tour guides, as they discuss the complex and tragic life of a woman whose less-than-pleasant reputation may have been deserved, but whose fate never was.

We are all descended from someone. In fact, we are descended from thousands of people! The Salem Witch Trials took place over three centuries ago and today there are millions of people who can trace their lineage back to those involved; accused, executed, exonerated, and judges alike. Join Sarah and Jeffrey as they talk about some of the more famous descendants, as well as numbers, family trees, what a first cousin even is!

We may not be in Salem's Great Age of Sail anymore, but that doesn't mean you can't go out and enjoy the harbor! And what better way to see Salem's coastline than on board a hand-made, locally owned and operated floating Tiki bar? Join Jeffrey and Sarah as they chat with Captain Scott and "Drink Mate" Karen about bringing their vision to life, doing what they love, and of course, Tiki.

Book reports are due! Did Sarah and Jeffrey do their homework? Absolutely. Join us as Sarah covers Hawthorne's first major novel The Scarlet Letter and Jeffrey covers The House of the Seven Gables. Let's talk about Hester Prynn, adultery, and puritanical laws; how people are burdened by the past and how the sins of the father are the problems we must deal with in the present. Both of these books, written over a century and a half ago, still have resounding themes even today.
The Scarlet Letter, Nathanial Hawthorne 1850
The House of the Seven Gables, Nathanial Hawthorne 1851
