History
**Remarkable Providences**

A spiritual crisis grips the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1692 that results in the deaths of twenty-five people and effectively ended a budding American theocracy. Remarkable Providences dives deep into the climate of purity and resentment that generated one of the most enduring–and misunderstood–American myths. Kate Devorak, a former Salem tour guide and current Salem nerd, takes us through the story of how fear, greed, prejudice, and zeal caused a community to nearly destroy itself from the inside out.
Remarkable Providences is a podcast about Puritans and pettiness, magic and misogyny, gospel and government, and, of course, the Salem Witch Trials.

Introducing ROGUE RUNNERS May 14, 2021

Show notes

We're excited to bring you the latest product of The Whisperforge! ROGUE RUNNERS is an actual play podcast which adapts your favorite games and other media to tabletop RPGs: delivering collaborative, improvised narratives blended with gorgeous audio storytelling.

Volume 1: "In the Blood" parodies roguelike HADES while playing it as a 5th Edition D&D campaign. It tells the story of four wretched shades battling their way out of the Underworld for one more chance at life, set in the world of the original game with a new story.

In the Blood meditates on the questions of punishment, redemption, and making the world better within unjust systems. Fans of mythology, queer fantasy, and improv comedy will find a lot to love in the show. While the adventurers roll dice and the show makes many loving references to the source material which inspired it, audiences need neither be fans of HADES nor D&D to fall in love with our four player characters and cast of zany mythological NPCs.

18: The Boys Are Back in Town Apr 20, 2021

Show notes

As nights grow towards their darkest, we humbly supplant our usual content slot to an episode of our Patreon-exclusive dive into the 2014 WGN America series Salem. It's a bit like the Witch Trials, if (it's almost entirely unlike them, but) it had sPoOoKy and sexy real witches around your Cottons Mather and Johns Alden, kinda like Riverdale meets Sleepy Hollow. Join our Patreon for a whole season of RKP:AD now, plus a whole second season of Salem japes coming real soon!
