Summary
Greetings, Witches!
We’re excited to bring you a special something from our partners at Not Sorry Productions. The Real Question is a new podcast from Vanessa Zoltan and Casper ter Kuile, the magical minds behind Harry Potter and the Sacred Text. Like us, they’re two friends who like to put their heads together and pour over their favorite texts as they navigate life’s questions. In every episode of The Real Question, Vanessa and Casper will investigate one of their own questions through the lenses of two texts. They'll reach far and wide, across the broad spectrum of media that's touched them—using shared dialog to uncover new meaning. We hope you'll listen along side us!
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, witches! It's Marcel and Hannah here to tell you about a new show coming from Not Sorry |
| 0:06.9 | Productions, and it's called The Real Question. It's hosted by Vanessa Zoltan and Cass |
| 0:12.8 | Prater-Kyle, who you probably know from Harry Potter and the Sacred Text. |
| 0:18.3 | Each episode, one of them will bring a question from their lives, and the two of them will try to |
| 0:23.0 | work out the answer while putting the questions into conversation with two texts, whether those are |
| 0:28.8 | movies, songs, TV episodes, literature, articles. Who knows? |
| 0:33.6 | So in episode one, Vanessa brings the question, should I really be teaching my step-daughters about |
| 0:40.4 | the tooth fairy? Which does lead me to want to ask you, Marcel, are you going to tell Elliot |
| 0:49.7 | there's a tooth fairy? Oh my god, I haven't even thought about this, which is funny because |
| 0:56.5 | Elliot, as far as I know, doesn't have any loose teeth yet, but it is something that sort of comes |
| 1:00.4 | up. Every time we're we're facetiming with my mom or my grandma, they're immediately like, |
| 1:05.5 | Elliot, do you have any loose teeth? And I think it's because my own childhood with tooth |
| 1:10.6 | losing was maybe very traumatic for the both of them because I was a little bit obsessive-compulsive. |
| 1:16.4 | Anyway, I have an intense relationship to the losing of teeth. |
| 1:20.3 | I remember you, Hannah, telling me that your mom had taught you that Santa Claus was an idea. |
| 1:26.2 | That was like a way of sort of celebrating and gift giving. And so you were able to like |
| 1:32.5 | appreciate the idea of Santa Claus without feeling like your parents had lied to you. |
| 1:36.5 | And I was like, yeah, that's what I'm going to do. And then Elliot's daycare brings in a Santa |
| 1:42.8 | Claus. So I was like, well, that makes it complicated. Makes it harder for me to argue that this |
| 1:48.0 | is a metaphor. You brought it and got it with a beard. I mean, listen, I know it's complex to |
| 1:55.1 | lie to your children, but my friends who have kids who are old enough to be losing teeth, |
| 2:00.6 | I do love hearing their stories about sneaking into their children's bedrooms at night |
