Christopher Reeve proved that heroism isn’t about superpowers—it’s about perseverance. That’s the gift every Salem descendant carries, but you don’t have to share their bloodline to share their lesson. Salem teaches us about the price of silence, the power of standing up, the importance of questioning authority. Those aren’t genetic traits—they’re human ones.

Hosts Josh and Sarah explore their own ancestral connections to the trials and reveal how descendants of Salem's victims number in the millions today.
