Irresponsible
The narrator acknowledges that the Salem witch trials could have been cause by ergot poisoning, then back tracks and states that it was actually “hysteria”. Furthermore, the narrator doesn’t investigate if it was ergot poisoning that made the school girls in LeRoy ill. Also, the producers don’t look into the possibility that unknown contaminants in the water / soil caused the illness. Just because some contaminants were ruled out doesn’t mean there is a possibility that another environmental factor caused it like mould etc. this story is not a scientific search for truth. A podcast based solely on subjective opinion / suppositions/ bias that posits itself as some truth telling venture. If you want fiction listen to this, but don’t expect to gain any knowledge.
