Introducing Fairytale Forensics

  • Summary

  • Imagine dusting Cinderella's glass slipper for fingerprints, or analyzing the structural integrity of Hansel and Gretel's gingerbread house using real world engineering principles.

    It's Law and Order meets the Brothers Grimm. This concept is Fairytale Forensics. Think like criminal psychology, engineering, and investigative journalism all applied to these stories we think we know. It's less about taking the moral of the story at face value and more about really digging into the why. Why do these characters do what they do? What happens when we hold these fantastical events up to the light of reality using actual forensic techniques.

    It's about grounding the fantastical in something tangible, encouraging us to ask, could this actually happen, even within a world of magic and make believe?

    The podcast creator, who's a journalist, is very focused on the mechanics of the stories. So not just what happens, but the how and the why it happens.

    The creator used Google's Notebook LM to generate the voices and podcast discussion based on his book, Fairytale Forensics.
