A short, short introduction to the Imaginary Histories podcast. Our first full episode will be on the Salem Witch Trials and a history of mass hysteria in America (and the sound quality will be much better than this, I promise). I hope you join me!

The song in the background is "Burning Van," by Big Mean Sound Machine, performed live on WFMU's Transpacific Sound Paradise, September 19, 2015; licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 license.
