Witches and breadcrumbs, giant ducks and gingerbread houses. This week we explore one of the most famous fairy tales of all time: Hansel and Gretel.

After our surprise Christmas episode, we thought why stop the fun there? We're kicking off 2019 with a bona fide classic!

We discover how this story was used in a U.S supreme court ruling, learn how it all started with a terrible famine, and we dissect various highfalutin analyses of this uber famous story. 

Happy new year everyone!
