About this episode
"Be happy while ye live, for ye’ll be a long time dead."
Something terrible is wending its way to Bessie Smith's small cottage, something that no amount of warding spells or charms may avert. As her inner circle is ripped apart from her, and terrible lies become the music of the land, she asks one question: Will she ever dance freely again?
A story of witchcraft and resistance by Morgan Sylvia, read by Jessica Taige with sound design by Fred Greenhalgh, music by Blue Dot Sessions.
