Thanks for listening! Yes, Robert Calef is mentioned a number of times. And there will be a specific episode about him in the near future.

I have listened to so many accounts of the trials, hoping to hear about Robert Calef because he is a direct ancestor of mine. Finally someone mentions his name, but not his contribution. I sincerely hope this will be returned to in a future episode.
