This month, we explore how to navigate the balance between imagination and reality. Magic and technology are often seen as opposing forces within fiction. A common trope is one cannot work around the other. Leigh Hull and Ley Esses talk about using both in a story and why they don’t always have to be opposites. First aired October 7, 2019.
