In this Bonus Episode, Eleanor and Martin discuss the morally and... well, literally sticky tradition of Love Spells.

Part of the "Magic and Medicines" series, they chat about the morality of love spells, how people view love magic today versus how they saw it in the past, and explore a series of examples from Ancient Greece and Egypt right through the Middle Ages to today - including some cutting edge science dedicated to creating synthetic love potions in modern laboratories!
