In the US, we all know the story of the Pilgrims landing the "Mayflower" on Plymouth rock in 1621. But did you know that Salem is the second oldest colonial settlement in New England? Or the names of the tribes and their leaders that lived in Massachusetts when the English arrived?

This episode covers all of that, plus what life was like in Puritan villages, and where the Salem Witch Trials would start in the cold, cold January of 1692.
