Girl Historians Blair MacMillan and Carley Thorne

With the Salem Witch Files winding down, Blair and Carley catch up on summer plans, board games, and insights from eavesdropping on a therapist. Then, Carley talks about some favorite pop culture that inspired by the Salem trials, including an excuse to talk about Gothic literature and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Blair revealing she's a nerd, and the Scooby-Doo movie that turned Carley gay.
