This week, host Amy Nicholson unpacks Episode 6, “Transference,” with not one but ~two~ witches: Hannah Alline, who plays our ye olde witch Suzanne Mayfair, and Dylan Bauer, the professional magic consultant we’ve been hearing about all season.

And together, Amy, Hannah, and Dylan ponder life’s big questions, like: did they have oat milk in the 1600s?

And while they dissect this episode’s Groundhog Day-like ghost story, they reflect on why we don’t need to be so afraid of life’s unexplainable mysteries.
