Three sisters, two versions of an adult version of your kid, and one kickass mom all come together in this episode where we talk about Piper Haliwell from the OG Charmed. Along with guest Joel (from May the Power Protect You Podcast), we talk magic incantations, annoying liberal arts faculty, and cultural appropriation in this packed episode, "Imaginary Fiends."

We totally get what Piper is going for, wanting to understand her pre-verbal son, but is a mother wanting what's normal for their child a barrier to their development, queer identity, and eventual experimentation with a goatee?

Find out as we talk about shoehorned B-plots, the ways our parents tried to protect us, the bonkers 2003 film Latter Days, and substituting actors, all in service of answering the question: is Piper Halliwell our mother?
