About the Science Witch Podcast

The Science Witch Podcast is a podcast by two witches who love science. Each episode will explore the many ways in which witchcraft and science interface, intersect and affirm one another.

It is important that we acknowledge the fact that Oregon is located in the traditional homelands of a great many indigenous nations who have made their homes here since long before colonization and ongoing genocide by white settlers. Portland is located in the traditional homelands of the Multnomah, Wasco, Cowlitz, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Watlala Bands of Chinook, Tualatin Kalapuya, Molalla, and many others who made their homes along the Columbia and Willamette Rivers. It is our intention in recognizing these communities to honor their lives, their legacies, their elders, their descendants, and the vibrancy and importance of their ongoing work—and to stand in solidarity with them at every opportunity.
