Simultaneously lighthearted and profound <3
I love the care that Casper and Vanessa bring to each of these conversations. When the first episode opened with a song from Mamma Mia 2 as one of the texts Vanessa brought for thinking through the ethics of tooth fairy traditions for children, I knew I'd come to the right place. Other texts brought to bear in different episodes include pop culture media from Dirty Dancing to Game of Thrones as well as Martin Luther King's letter from Birmingham jail, poetry, and academic texts. Casper and Vanessa might take questions about how to live and relate to one another seriously, but they never make the mistake of taking themselves overly seriously. Their weekly conversations manage, without fail, to be both lighthearted and profound.Read full review »

As a longtime fan of HPST, I was so sad to hear that Casper wouldn’t be on the pod for the next iteration — but THRILLED when Vanessa and Casper announced The Real Question!!! I would listen to them read/banter about a phone book, honestly. I think this inaugural episode was so thoughtful and...Read full review »
