The Fox Sisters and the Origins of the Spiritualism Movement

This week we delve into the origins of the spiritualism movement that swept across America in the mid 1800s, and discuss the roles of the Fox sisters, Maggie, Kate, and Leah. And yes, we found a way to bring Harry Houdini into this episode. On What We’re Watching we talk about the 2024 Amazon Prime series “Fallout.” On Layla and Coffee Talk, we talk about our revolving door policy.
