Welcome to So My Wife's a Witch: A Bewitched Deep Dive Podcast!

This week, Madison and Nathan take a refreshing dive into the cool waters of episode fourteen of Bewitched. In this episode, written by the king Bernard Slade, Samantha gets an unexpected visit by our favorite character, Aunt Clara. The only problem with her visit is that Darrin is on his way home with his parents! Before Sam can tell Darrin that Aunt Clara is also visiting, she makes a grand entrance. Darrin's mother, Phyllis is disturbed by Clara and her "eccentric" personality. Meanwhile, Sam wants to impress her new mother-in-law and shares her feelings with Aunt Clara. Thinking she is helping, Aunt Clara whips up a fabulously witchy dinner for the group. Will Phyllis approve of Sam as her son's wife? Will Aunt Clara ever be able to travel by wall again? Will we ever learn the names of each of Aunt Clara's doorknobs? Well, you are just going to have to listen and find out.

Later, Madison and Nathan look into the lives and careers of the in-laws themselves, Mabel Albertson and Robert F. Simon!
