'This book is timely in offering a clear view of how heresy and witchcraft connected, how they were reflected in contemporary religious debates, and how a number of differing positions about witchcraft in particular could be held. Waite argues that it was only when the authorities came to terms with pluralism that there was a corresponding decline in witch panics. Waite examines in-depth how church leaders dispelled rising religious doubt by persecuting heretics, and how alleged infernal plots, and witches who confessed to making a pact with the Devil, helped the authorities to reaffirm orthodoxy. Bringing together the fields of Reformation and witchcraft studies, this fascinating book reveals how the early modern period's religious conflicts led to widespread confusion and uncertainty. Fear of the Devil and his followers inspired horrific incidents of judicially-approved terror in early modern Europe, leading after 1560 to the infamous witch hunts. However, the religious conflict of the sixteenth-century Reformation - especially popular movements of reform and revolt - helped to create an atmosphere in which diabolical conspiracies (which swept up religious dissidents, Jews and magicians into their nets) were believed to pose a very real threat. In the fifteenth century many authorities did not believe Inquisitors' stories of a supposed Satanic witch sect.

Many of us are on the road to burnout without even realising it. In the past, we might have thought of burnout as a phenomenon that only affected high-flying CEOs. What I have seen time and time again is that this constant pushing always comes back to bite, it is just a case of when. Many of us think we can keep pushing day after day, week after week, month after month without any consequences. It’s a different format from usual: rather than a conversation with a guest, this is my take on what burnout is, why we often don’t recognise it until it is too late – and why I believe it’s so important that each and every one of us is aware of it. It’s staggering statistics like these that led me to record this bonus episode. Other Research found that burnout among UK workers almost doubled from 2021 to 2022 and that a staggering 88 percent of the UK workforce has experienced burnout since 2020. A survey by YouGov for the charity Mental Health UK in 2020 found one in five people felt unable to manage pressure and stress levels at work. It’s characterised by feeling exhausted all the time, with no energy for everyday tasks, and little enjoyment in everyday activities.
