Episode 6: “100% OG Witch” (with Hannah Alline & Dylan Bauer, Professional Witch) Feb 13, 2023

Show notes

This week, host Amy Nicholson unpacks Episode 6, “Transference,” with not one but ~two~ witches: Hannah Alline, who plays our ye olde witch Suzanne Mayfair, and Dylan Bauer, the professional magic consultant we’ve been hearing about all season. Dylan shares his thoughts on the state of modern day witchcraft and how the real history of witch hunting in 17th century Scotland informed this pivotal episode, while Hannah reflects on the magic of walking into the Scotland set and why Suzanne keeps getting the short end of the stick. And together, Amy, Hannah, and Dylan ponder life’s big questions, like: did they have oat milk in the 1600s?

Episode 5: “#TeamRiprien” (with Tongayi Chirisa) Feb 06, 2023

Show notes

A word to the wise: Don’t die in the Mayfair house. This week, host Amy Nicholson talks about Episode 5, “The Thrall,” with Tongayi Chirisa, who plays Ciprien Grieve – the man with a thousand gloves. Amy and Tongayi talk about everything from breakfast in bed to supernatural love triangles (are you #Team Riprien of #TeamLowan?) to why crows are mocking him from outside his window. And while they dissect this episode’s Groundhog Day-like ghost story, they reflect on why we don’t need to be so afraid of life’s unexplainable mysteries.

Episode 4: “Explissssit Content Warning 🐍🐍🐍” (with Harry Hamlin) Jan 30, 2023

There’s no party like an Uncle Cortland party. And fair warning, you might be exposed to some risqué snake content that you didn’t ask for but are getting anyway! In this episode, host Amy Nicholson welcomes the master of ceremonies himself – Harry Hamlin, who plays Cortland Mayfair. Together, they unpack Episode 4 of Mayfair Witches, “Curiouser and Curiouser,” and Harry tries to convince Amy that Cortland is actually a softie. Plus, Harry shares the extensive research he did to get into character, which – spoiler alert – includes a retired surfer bar, Tennessee Williams, and reptile auditions.

Even though things are looking bleak for Rowan, never fear: this week, we have our witchy Mayfair matriarch on the pod! Annabeth Gish, who plays Deirdre Mayfair, and showrunner Esta Spalding join host Amy Nicholson to talk about petty spells, ancestral memory, and episode two’s gutting cliffhanger. And we learn that Esta and Annabeth aren’t just colleagues; like the Mayfairs, they’re also mystically connected through the maternal line.
