On episode 89 of the Magick & Alchemy Podcast, hosts Kate Belew and Kristin Lisenby discuss the Patron Saint of Outcasts, Wednesday Addams. In this special pop-culture episode, Kristin and Kate contemplate the history of Wednesday’s spooky family - including the Addams’ appearance in print, sitcoms, movies, and the new Netflix series. They also contemplate the Addams’ appeal (despite their refusal to conform), their relationship to witchcraft, and Wednesday as a queer icon.Created by Tamed Wild.Production by Julio MonteroMusic by Follow the Wind,Taizo Audio.
