Speaker 1: like that. Okay, well, now it's time for the reveal
Speaker 1: of our backup mascot. That's better. Wait did you say
Speaker 1: backup mascot? Well, if we're not going to have a

Speaker 1: frightful topics, the Salem Witch Trials and the master of
Speaker 1: suspense himself, Alfred Hitchcock. But before we learn about those,
Speaker 1: let's learn a little about our contestants. All right, First up,
Speaker 1: we have Parker. Parker, please introduce yourself. Hello, I'm Parker,
Speaker 1: My favorite subject is social studies. I love social studies too.
Speaker 1: Is it the history that you like or the lives
Speaker 1: of people are learning about human beings come together in
Speaker 1: this world of ours? What is it about social studies
Speaker 1: that you like so much? The history? Who's one of
Speaker 1: your favorite figures from history? Parker? George Washooter fantastic, amazing hair,
Speaker 1: you how to ride a horse head, didn't smile very much,
Speaker 1: but that's okay. Get a lot of else going for him.
Speaker 1: Those the main things about George Washington. What does that
Speaker 1: you like about George Washington? Is it that he had
Speaker 1: great hair? No, it's about like how he he's the
Speaker 1: first president, he's a leader, he fought in the Revolutionary War,
Speaker 1: from the French and Indian War. Yeah, those are pretty
Speaker 1: amazing things too. Yeah. I like all that stuff about him.
Speaker 1: But the thing I admire most about George Washington is that, um,
Speaker 1: he can write a boat even when it's very cold,
Speaker 1: which is something that I have never been able to
Speaker 1: do while standing up. While standing up? All right, Next
Speaker 1: we have Branson. Branson, please introduce yourself. Hi. My name
Speaker 1: is Branson and I'm nine years old and I love basketball. Alright,
Speaker 1: which position do you play in basketball? I played print guards? Okay?
Speaker 1: And is that the one that tackles everybody? Or are
Speaker 1: you the one that holds the broom while the other
Speaker 1: people push the puck sport on the ice? The see
Speaker 1: that's hockey football. Okay, I did drive of the ball
Speaker 1: and shoot? Oh do you have a favorite basketball player idea? Okay?
Speaker 1: Well you uh well, please don't keep us in suspense,
Speaker 1: please tell us who is your favorite basketball player? Black
Speaker 1: with Jordan Oh? Okay, thank you so much both you
Speaker 1: for being here, and thank you to Eric, our musician
Speaker 1: for providing that lovely meet the contestants music and all
Speaker 1: the music on the show today. Today's episode is a
Speaker 1: specially excited because Parker and Branson. That's right, you guessed it,
Speaker 1: they have the same feature Mr Bruno. Okay, well that's
Speaker 1: who is. Now let's find out who was Alfred Hitchcock
Speaker 1: with four fast facts pens. Alfred Hitchcock directed over fifty
Speaker 1: feature films, most of which were scary or high suspense.
Speaker 1: He had his own TV show and a magazine dedicated
Speaker 1: to mystery stories. Hitchcock shot films for the British war
Speaker 1: effort in World War Two and in nineteen seventy nine,
Speaker 1: he was knighted by the Queen of England. Hitchcock made
Speaker 1: so many movies and I've only seen a small portion
Speaker 1: of them because they came out before you were born. No,
Speaker 1: because only a small portion of the screen is visible
Speaker 1: if you're watching a movie through your fingers. They're so scary.
Speaker 1: With so much to learn about Alfred Hitchcock, it's time
Speaker 1: for our first game. True or false? True or false?
Speaker 1: Is false? Is it false? Or is it true? Is
Speaker 1: it true that it has false? Is it false that
Speaker 1: it was? True? Or true? True or false? Thank you Eric.
Speaker 1: In this game, be will lead a statement. You will
Speaker 1: then let us know if that statement is true or
Speaker 1: false or false. You guessed it, And since this is
Speaker 1: our first game, each question is worth one point. Take
Speaker 1: it away. Being Parker Europe first. Alfred Hitchcock grew up
Speaker 1: loving films and went to the movie theater with his
Speaker 1: family every week. Is that true or false? False? That's right,
Speaker 1: it's false. When Alfred was young, little Alfie Hitchcock, movie
Speaker 1: theater didn't even exist yet. Instead, he went to the
Speaker 1: regular theater, where he was inspired by how stage lighting
Speaker 1: was used to create different moves. He went on to
Speaker 1: use those same lighting techniques in his movies. Okay, Branson,
Speaker 1: this next question is for you. True or false? Teenage
Speaker 1: Alfred frequently visited the Black Museum at Scotland Yard, a
Speaker 1: museum dedicated to evidence from famous and unusual crimes. True.
Speaker 1: That's right. That's true. When he visited, he would have
Speaker 1: seen nooses from actual executions and a letter from famous
Speaker 1: serial killer Jack the Ripper. On the other hand, he
Speaker 1: would not have seen me there because I've got to
Speaker 1: sleep without nightmares. Thank you. All right, now it's your turn.
Speaker 1: Parker Hitchcock's first job with designing the title cards that
Speaker 1: were used to communicate dialogue and important information in silent films,
Speaker 1: because early movies didn't have sound. Is that true or false? True?
Speaker 1: That's right, it's true. Hitchok was so good at drawing
Speaker 1: titles as those cards containing important information were called that
Speaker 1: his own title changed to boss when he became head
Speaker 1: of the department Ice workout, Hitchcock. That's exciting for you.
Speaker 1: Congratulations on your promotion, Branson, back to you, these questions
Speaker 1: for you. Hitchcock found it difficult to get used to
Speaker 1: making movies in the US, and his first films shot
Speaker 1: in America were not successful. Is that true or false? False?
Speaker 1: That's right, it's false. His very first film made the
Speaker 1: United States, Rebecca, went on to win the Academy Award
Speaker 1: for Best Picture. He was quickly established as the master
Speaker 1: of suspense, and even forty years after his death, his
Speaker 1: movies are still considered some of the most engaging and
Speaker 1: thrilling movies of all time. True true true true. What
Speaker 1: a great game. You both know a lot about Alfred Hitchcock.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have Jane tally our scores and report them
Speaker 1: to you after this short break, Eric, please play us
Speaker 1: some scary movie music pianos playing inside the house. Wow,
Speaker 1: welcome back to the Who Was? Podcast. Today we're learning
Speaker 1: all about who was Alfred hihpop and what were the
Speaker 1: Salem witch trials? With contestants who are terrifyingly smart. And
Speaker 1: here's your host, Elliot Kalin. Thank you be. Before we
Speaker 1: go further into the game, let's go to producer Jane
Speaker 1: for the scores. I'm afraid of what I'm gonna hear. Oh, well,
Speaker 1: you don't be too scared. It's only two points each.
Speaker 1: It's a time fantastic Oh if any, if anything, that's
Speaker 1: the least scoopy type of score. Wait, unless it's the
Speaker 1: most scoopy type of score. Well, let's keep the show moving.
Speaker 1: We gotta learn. Let's keep learn more about the Salem
Speaker 1: witch Trials. I'm in a cold sweat either way, So
Speaker 1: let's hear about the Salem witch Trials with four fast
Speaker 1: facts prospects. Starting in the spring of over two people
Speaker 1: in Salem Village, Massachusetts were accused of witchcraft. The townspeople
Speaker 1: accuse one another of working with the devil to cause
Speaker 1: a mysterious illness. By the end of the Salem witch Trials,
Speaker 1: twenty people were executed for witchcraft and five died in Jaho.
Speaker 1: By May of six all those jailed for witchcraft were
Speaker 1: pardoned and released. There were no actual witches or witchcraft ever.
Speaker 1: Who was a case of mass hysteria? For ten months
Speaker 1: the townspeople of Salem accused from another of witchcraft. The
Speaker 1: suspense was palpable. Alfred Hitchcock probably would have made a
Speaker 1: great movie about it, but unless we'll never know. Wait,
Speaker 1: maybe we can get him to make one. Using our
Speaker 1: handy dandy time travel telephone. Who was that? Who was?
Speaker 1: Want our next game? Can? Wait? We've got a movie
Speaker 1: to make. Please welcome to the show Witchcraft accusing teenager
Speaker 1: Betty Paris. Hi Betty, good sabbath to you, sir, and
Speaker 1: welcome the Master of Suspense director Alfred Hitchcock. Good evening,
Speaker 1: it's actually the middle of the day, Sir Alfred. Yes,
Speaker 1: but that was my catchphrase. Good evening evening is scarier
Speaker 1: than the middle of the day. Good point. Okay, so
Speaker 1: how do we get this movie started? Let's begin by
Speaker 1: setting the scene, Betty, where did all this happen? Pretty good, sir.
Speaker 1: I reside in Salem Village, a godfaring community in New England.
Speaker 1: No England, that's a little black. We'll say it in
Speaker 1: San Francisco. Immor romantic. So you will watch a young
Speaker 1: heiress matching wits with a handsome jewel thief. I watched
Speaker 1: that movie. Yeah, me too. Let's call it sing three
Speaker 1: people welcome. See that. I'm nothing of the sword having
Speaker 1: to be praised. I'm a humble maiden of Puritan stock.
Speaker 1: We believe that jewels and wealth are evil. That's not
Speaker 1: particularly fun. Well, we'll also believe the fun is evil
Speaker 1: and smiling and comfortable chairs. Eve. I understand correctly you
Speaker 1: were wrongly accused of a murder and had to go
Speaker 1: on the run to find the actual culprit. I watched
Speaker 1: that movie. Yeah, me too, let's call it Paddington three. No, no, no, no, Um,
Speaker 1: I would think you were joking, if jokes weren't also evil. No,
Speaker 1: my cousin and I began to have strange symptoms. We
Speaker 1: babbled while nonsense and hid under furniture because you were
Speaker 1: being haunted by a ghost. Um, now, wet, they're so close. Well,
Speaker 1: the town doctor said you were cursed by a witch,
Speaker 1: and you know, we believed him because back then medicine
Speaker 1: basically didn't exist. So we told him that three townswomen
Speaker 1: were the witches. But really was the doctor who was
Speaker 1: the witch? A twist. I've seen that movie, me too,
Speaker 1: let's call it Spider Man four. Spider Witch like a
Speaker 1: sandwich with spiders in it. That's obviously not what she
Speaker 1: meant though, that would be spooky. No, no, no, there
Speaker 1: weren't any which is at all. We were just scared
Speaker 1: girls telling the grown ups what we thought they wanted
Speaker 1: to hear. You know. Then things kind of got out
Speaker 1: of hand and one thing led to another, and the
Speaker 1: next thing you know, nineteen people were hanging to death. Oops,
Speaker 1: that's not such a fun plot for a movie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it sounds more like a meditation on the nature of
Speaker 1: fear and how communities use scapegoats when they don't feel
Speaker 1: in control of the world around them. Well said, you
Speaker 1: should make this movie because I don't want to. I
Speaker 1: like movies that have fun. Goodbye. Okay, Wait, but before
Speaker 1: we go, I have a question, what are movies more? Okay,
Speaker 1: before we undergo our own case of necessary less to
Speaker 1: dive into our next game. It's called by any other name.
Speaker 1: In this game, be will describe some aspect of the
Speaker 1: Salem witch Trials, but using an odd rhyming word or
Speaker 1: phrase instead of the exact word that we're looking for.
Speaker 1: You must decipher what she's saying and tell us the
Speaker 1: real word that rhymes with the nonsense words. So, for example,
Speaker 1: if the answer was happy Birthday, b would say something
Speaker 1: funny that rhymes with it, like Patty learth Day, which
Speaker 1: I guess is funny to everyone except Patty Learthday herself,
Speaker 1: and we apologize for using her name. Yes, of the
Speaker 1: of the New Jersey Lark. Yes, it's a wonderful family.
Speaker 1: And because this is our second game, each question is
Speaker 1: now worth you guessed it two points, Parker, Europe. First,
Speaker 1: this questions for you. After nothing seemed to cure Abigail
Speaker 1: and Betty, the town doctor suggested that they were under
Speaker 1: an evil hand, meaning they were tree snitched, bewitched. That's right,
Speaker 1: be witched. Doctors regularly diagnosed patients for witchcraft back then. Thankfully,
Speaker 1: modern doctors have discovered many new and creative ways to
Speaker 1: tell you they don't know what's going on. This next
Speaker 1: question is for you, Branson. Before being questioned, suspected, which is,
Speaker 1: were usually examined to see if they had any moles, warts,
Speaker 1: or mirth barks known signs of witchcraft birthmarks. That's right. Moles, warts,
Speaker 1: or birthmarks were considered evil people thought, which has used
Speaker 1: them to communicate with each other. Of course, my birthmarks
Speaker 1: communicate that my skin, like me, is artistic. Okay, it's
Speaker 1: your turn, Parker. Many people were in prison after being
Speaker 1: accused of witchcraft, but the prisoners who got blessed were
Speaker 1: treated better than those who didn't confessed. That's right. The
Speaker 1: answer is confessed. Those who admitted to being witches weren't
Speaker 1: put in chains, and many suspects were encouraged by their
Speaker 1: families to just go ahead and confess to being which
Speaker 1: is hashtag go blessed. Ready for the last question of
Speaker 1: the round, Branson, Yes, sir. Starting in October, a new
Speaker 1: court began trying the cases of witchcraft. Unlike the previous court,
Speaker 1: they no longer used heck pull pebitants as proof that
Speaker 1: someone was a witch. Specter, you know what, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: give you half credit for that. What we're looking for
Speaker 1: is they no longer replied on spectral evidence. That's a
Speaker 1: tough one, meaning that you couldn't be arrested just because
Speaker 1: someone said you were a witch. By this time, the
Speaker 1: town felt that the trial had gone a little too far.
Speaker 1: But you know what hasn't gone too far? Are schmund
Speaker 1: pending pests for cowledge? Exactly our unending quest for knowledge.
Speaker 1: And that's the end of by any other name, another
Speaker 1: super strong round, almost suspiciously supernaturally strong producer, Jane, will
Speaker 1: you please let us know where we stand with the scores? Sure, Elliott,
Speaker 1: right now you have brands and with five points and
Speaker 1: Parker has sped ahead with six. Fantastic, Thank you, Jane.
Speaker 1: It's still a super close game, almost Dare I say it, frighteningly.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. Look, Brandson Parkner, we're gonna keep going
Speaker 1: with the scary puns and this and and stuff like that,
Speaker 1: so get used to it. The game's not over yet.
Speaker 1: I do have a question for you, though, uh so, partner, Branson,
Speaker 1: if you could cast a spell on someone, we're just
Speaker 1: on the world, what would you cast? And why? Branson?
Speaker 1: What did you go first? What spell would you cast?
Speaker 1: If you could, I would cast that I would never
Speaker 1: have to grow up. Well, I would stay at a
Speaker 1: certain age in my whole life. Yeah, Oh, may I
Speaker 1: recommend thirty six? Yeah? Yeah, thirty six is a good one, Branson.
Speaker 1: What what age would you choose? I'm not sure, but yeah,
Speaker 1: probably thirty forty smart thirty to forty alright, looking forward
Speaker 1: to the future, but but not that the too far
Speaker 1: not the future. Okay, So you know you're gonna grow
Speaker 1: up a little bit, You're gonna turn probably like thirty
Speaker 1: two or thirty three. You're gonna meet a vampire and say,
Speaker 1: make me a vampire so I can stay this age forever.
Speaker 1: Oh no, we have which is an Alfred Hitchcock and
Speaker 1: a vampire in this ship. If you get too scared
Speaker 1: of Parker. If you could cast a spell, what would
Speaker 1: it be in world hunger? Oh that's a great spell.
Speaker 1: That's really beautiful. Yeah, that's wonderful. That's so sweet. Those
Speaker 1: are both great spells. Well, we will be right back
Speaker 1: with our witching guests after the break with more cool
Speaker 1: was pie? Eric? Do you have any witch music you
Speaker 1: can play for us? Which one the witch music? Yeah? Which?
Speaker 1: Which song? Yeah? Yes, that's correct? Which? Yeah? That one?
Speaker 1: The witch catalog? Exam that one? Yeah, the witch witch
Speaker 1: song from the Witch Catalog? Exactly? Which one? Yes? Exactly?
Speaker 1: You got which of the witch witch? Exactly? Let's dance
Speaker 1: at night for fun? Sally? Who Was? Asked Marie Curie.
Speaker 1: You may remember me from winning multiple Nobel Prizes off
Speaker 1: from my episode of the who wast podcast where I
Speaker 1: played myself. I wanted to take a moment to read
Speaker 1: one of my favorite reviews about the who Was podcast.
Speaker 1: This is from Shaken Bay and it reads loved this
Speaker 1: Me and my little sister love this show more. Please
Speaker 1: Our faith is Arietman. If you want to hear your
Speaker 1: review right on the app, make sure to subscribe, like,
Speaker 1: and review to the OAS podcast in the I Heart
Speaker 1: Radio up or wherever you get your podcasts revoir or
Speaker 1: should I stay abiato? Welcome back to the Who Was Podcast.
Speaker 1: Today we're learning the spooky ins and out of the
Speaker 1: Salem Witch Trials and Alfred Hitchcock. When we last left off,
Speaker 1: Harker had six points and Branson had five points. And
Speaker 1: now back to our host, Elliott Klin. Thanks Be. It's
Speaker 1: still anyone's game as we head into our next end
Speaker 1: final segment. Contestants, Parker, are you ready to play Converge
Speaker 1: of Greatness? I find the Converge of Greatness music so inspiring. Okay.
Speaker 1: In this multiple choice game, Be will read questions where
Speaker 1: are subjects Alfred Hitchcock and the Sale in which trials
Speaker 1: overlap or converge? And because this is the third game,
Speaker 1: each question is worth you guested three points, So pick
Speaker 1: the best option of the choices as your answer. Parker,
Speaker 1: Europe First, It's your turn, take it away. B Courts
Speaker 1: play an important role in the saleon Witch Trials, but
Speaker 1: also in the life of Alfred Hitchcock. As a child,
Speaker 1: he frequently sat in on criminal trials at the Old
Speaker 1: Bailey Courthouse, and his favorite cases to listen to were
Speaker 1: a traffic cases, B bookcases or see murder cases murder cases.
Speaker 1: See that's right, The answer is c murder cases. Murder
Speaker 1: would continue to fascinate Alfred Hitchcock. He made dozens of
Speaker 1: movies about the topic. He even made a movie called murder.
Speaker 1: That's the title of the movie. Okay, it's your turn, Branson.
Speaker 1: Mistaken identity was often a part of Alfred Hitchcock's movies,
Speaker 1: and in the Life of One Unfortunate Woman accused of
Speaker 1: witchcraft in Salem, the court confused Bridget Bishop for an
Speaker 1: unrelated woman named Susan Bishop who A owned a rowdy
Speaker 1: in b fu on a broom or see played e
Speaker 1: sports competitively A. That's right. The answer is A owned
Speaker 1: a rowdy in the court didn't know the difference between
Speaker 1: the two women and treated Bridget like she was guilty
Speaker 1: of witchcraft right away. Not fair, not fair at all.
Speaker 1: But a case of mistaken identity that I've had, Alfred
Speaker 1: Hitchcock would have gotten a real kick out of. All right,
Speaker 1: This next one is for you, Parker. The Salem witch
Speaker 1: trials were fueled by people suspecting their neighbors of wrongdoing.
Speaker 1: That is also the plot of which Alfred Hitchcock movie
Speaker 1: is it a The Birds, be rear window or see Psycho.
Speaker 1: See I'm sorry, The answer is be rear window. Though
Speaker 1: it is a great movie and a necessary part of
Speaker 1: any car. That's just common sense. You need a window. Okay.
Speaker 1: This last question is for Brandson. Over the last three
Speaker 1: hundred years, several stories, films, and plays have depicted the
Speaker 1: Salem witch Trials, which one of them became one of
Speaker 1: the most popular plays written in America. Was it a
Speaker 1: The Crucible, be a Charlie Brown Christmas or see Macbeth.
Speaker 1: That's right, the answer is a The Crucible, written by
Speaker 1: Arthur Miller during the height of the hunt for communists
Speaker 1: in the entertainment industry. He found the parallel with the
Speaker 1: two events to make the point that people's lives can
Speaker 1: be ruined by the fear of something that isn't really
Speaker 1: a real danger. And that's the end of Converge of Greatness.
Speaker 1: And now it's time for me to confess the greatest
Speaker 1: fear of all, my fear that we're coming to the
Speaker 1: end of the show. So lowly wait for Jane. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's terrible. I wish there was more, But the last
Speaker 1: all things must come to an end. But first, while
Speaker 1: Jane talies the score. I'd love to hear from our contestants.
Speaker 1: Is there something Branson or Parker that really surprised you
Speaker 1: that you learned about the Sandwich Trials or Alfred Hitchcock? Oh? Yes,
Speaker 1: and Salem what trials? Uh? Datty only said three people
Speaker 1: in Abigail said over two hundred that were witches. They
Speaker 1: won one name three people and one said over two
Speaker 1: hundred people were witches and in the end were either
Speaker 1: of them? Right? No, No, there were no witches. But
Speaker 1: I guess if you're going to guess wrong, guess big.
Speaker 1: You know. But that's it's amazing how even though they
Speaker 1: disagreed so much, that people still were so scared of
Speaker 1: witches that they went along with it. Uh, Branson, is
Speaker 1: there anything that jumped out at you about either the
Speaker 1: Sandwich Trials or Alfred Hitchcock and jumped at it you
Speaker 1: in a good way, not jumped at it you and
Speaker 1: a like at sky scary? Yeah, like a scary Alfred Hitchcock. Well,
Speaker 1: and Alfred Hitchcock um for some of his movies, like
Speaker 1: when they're recording he went to a hen house and
Speaker 1: he grabbed some eggs and he through it the teacher's window.
Speaker 1: I didn't know this. I'm learning, I'm finding this out.
Speaker 1: We why would why would you do that? He was
Speaker 1: just pranking. Yeah, prancers are do got a frank? Yeah,
Speaker 1: they should have called Alfred hitch frank. That should have
Speaker 1: been Yeah. Yeah. Well, I'm glad that we could learn
Speaker 1: some of the scarier things and some of the lighter
Speaker 1: things about these people. Mr Bruno, Is there anything that
Speaker 1: that was surprising to you about Alfred Hitchcock with the
Speaker 1: Sandwich Trials? Yes, I'm from New Orleans. I have fortune
Speaker 1: tellers in the French Quarter, and those people wouldn't have
Speaker 1: made it back then. Let's say we're throwing them were
Speaker 1: thorn m and jail the fortune hunters. Though, that surprised me.
Speaker 1: You're you're surprising that, Pete, that people in your own
Speaker 1: community would have been thrown into jail for fortune telling,
Speaker 1: whereas now it's a pretty good business us. It's a
Speaker 1: solid business to be in telling fortunes. I mean, we're
Speaker 1: we're here in l A and you're always within three
Speaker 1: ft of someone getting a tarot ready m that's legally
Speaker 1: you have talking legally, Yeah, it's required. Well, thank you both,
Speaker 1: Thank you all three for such interesting insights. Now it's
Speaker 1: time one for the big moment. Jane, will you please
Speaker 1: look into your crystal ball or sprying cauldron and please
Speaker 1: announce our winner. Oh well, yeah, I saw a spooky
Speaker 1: thing going on. First Parker was ahead, then Branson was ahead, them,

Speaker 1: That was so great for both of you. More suspenseful
Speaker 1: than a Hitchcock plot. I'll tell you what. Yes, it's
Speaker 1: that he wished he made a movie as suspensable as
Speaker 1: this one. Branson, you have ten seconds for shoutouts, Go
Speaker 1: for it. Who would you like to thank for your
Speaker 1: victory today? I like to shout out for my mom,
