American Gods by Neil Gaiman didn't just win awards... When it dropped, it completely dominated the speculative fiction world by sweeping the Hugo, Nebula, Locus, and Bram Stoker Awards. A favorite of Tom's, Tony maintains that it's far from Gaiman's best. How does this genre-bending scifi/fantasy/horror champion hold up? Let's find out!

If you've ever said, “I just don't feel like creating today,” this conversation challenges the assumption hiding inside that sentence.We're talking about consistent creativity, deep work, and the unglamorous skill that separates people who finish from people who only plan.We connect the dots between professional standards in everyday work and the way we often treat our creative goals like optional hobbies.A key theme is the shift from amateur habits to a professional mindset: Steven Kotler's willingness to practice in bad conditions so output doesn't depend on perfect energy, and Neil Gaiman's simple constraint that protects focus, write or do nothing.Then we get practical.We explain why routine is more than discipline, it's biology. When you write, train, eat, or sleep at consistent times, your brain and body start preparing in advance. Your homework is simple and challenging: when is your muse date, and how will you protect it?Subscribe for more tools on personal growth, creativity, and high-performance habits, and if this helps, share it with a friend who wants to be consistently creative and leave a review so more people build a creative routine that lasts._______________________Support The Show and Turbocharge Angela

Eduard HabsburgToday on Ascend: The Great Books Podcast, Deacon Harrison Garlick and His Excellency Eduard Habsburg, Archduke of Austria and former Hungarian ambassador to the Holy See, discuss Neil Gaiman's short story “Chivalry.”Before they turn to the text, Eduard speaks with warmth and candor about his family's eight centuries of Catholic identity, the vocation of family in an atomized age, his decade in Rome, and an unexpected love of stories that runs from screenplays and Ghibli films to the understated magic of Gaiman.What follows is a close, affectionate reading of a story in which the Holy Grail turns up in an Oxfam shop, Sir Galahad knocks on a widow's door for tea, and the most English understatement imaginable meets Arthurian quest. Together they trace Mrs. Whitaker's loneliness and ritual, the knight's unironic goodness, Marie's transformation, the slugs in the garden, the three gifts of youth and immortality, and the moment an old woman quietly refuses what does not belong to her life.Eduard reads the tale as homage to Englishness and as a call to accept the adventure when it arrives, while Deacon Garlick asks whether that same ordinariness can also flatten what ought to remain extraordinary. It is a warm conversation on the charming short story, “Chivalry.”Reading ScheduleWe are currently finishing SHORT STORY SEPTEMBER!

Today on Ascend: The Great Books Podcast, Dcn. Garlick is joined by the always wonderful Alberto Fernandez to discuss "Red Shadows," a salvage tale of Solomon Kane by Robert E. Howard.Check out our website for our reading schedule, articles, written guides, and more.Dcn. Garlick and Alberto discuss Robert E. Howard's 1928 Solomon Kane tale “Red Shadows,” a pulp adventure chosen as a lively Short Story September “palette cleanser” after heavier classical reading. Howard (1906–1936), the Texas-born creator of Conan the Barbarian, produced hundreds of stories in a short life. Alberto first encountered him through the 1960s–70s Lancer paperbacks with Frank Frazetta covers. Kane, Howard's only recurring explicitly Christian series character, is described as a grim Puritan-Cavalier mix with pagan and philosophical streaks—“God's angry swordsman”—a remorseless wandering avenger who rights wrongs he encounters by chance.The story opens in the French countryside when Kane finds a dying young Catholic woman assaulted by bandits led by Le Loup (“the Wolf”). The stranger's death prompts Kane's vow that “Men shall die for this,” launching a relentless pursuit that takes him from France across Europe to the West African jungle. There the narrative juxtaposes Kane's grim, driven sense of justice (he sees himself as a “vessel of wrath”) against Le Loup's cynical evil, tribal politics, the witch-doctor N'Longa, voodoo, jungle drums, and “blood memory.” Unlike the mirthful, vitalistic Conan, Kane is cold and mysterious even to himself. The climax features a duel framed as cosmic justice versus injustice, followed by a second, primal coda in which a gorilla avenges his mate—showing that nature itself can enact justice and that Kane often needs allies to complete vengeance.Alberto highlights Howard's youthful ambition (he wrote the story at 21), his debt to adventure writers like Edgar Rice Burroughs and H. Rider Haggard, and the way Africa becomes a recurring, almost inescapable landscape in later Kane tales. He recommends the Del Rey edition and especially the later novella “Wings in the Night” as Howard's finest Kane story. Both hosts note the stories' value as high-energy, well-crafted adventure that can later be shared with sons, and they close by pointing listeners toward the next Short Story September episode on Neil Gaiman's “Chivalry.”Chapters00:00 Introduction to Robert E.

Why do the guys who are a little distant, a little edgy, and a little hard to get feel so magnetic? Is it actually attraction…or is a deeper pattern being activated? In this episode, we unpack what's going on underneath the pull toward “bad boys” and why it can feel so intense, compelling, and hard to walk away from. We talk about: What exactly is it about “bad boys” that makes them so attractive What we're really responding to beneath the surface  Why intensity can feel like chemistry, but isn't always compatibility What “bad boys” do well that “nice guys” can learn from How to take those traits into your own dating life—without the chaos If you've ever found yourself drawn to someone who felt exciting but hard to reach, this episode will help you understand why—and what to do differently.

NEWS WEAKLY 226 – What Is The Sentence?Last week, News Weakly opened with Jason Arday. This week, after his sudden death, Sami Shah asks a harder question: what is public accountability actually supposed to achieve?From Arday to Louis C.K., Warren Ellis and Neil Gaiman, this documentary looks at public shame, misconduct, cancellation, comeback and whether punishment without an end point eventually becomes something closer to appetite than justice.When should someone be allowed back? Who gets to decide? And if suffering itself isn't the point, what is?Content note: this episode discusses death, possible suicide, sexual misconduct and public shaming.News Weakly is independent, ad-free and listener-supported through Patreon.Sami Shah is a multi-award-winning comedian, writer, journalist, and broadcaster.For more: http://thesamishah.comTheme music 'Historic Anticipation' by Paul MottramThis podcast is written, hosted, and produced by Sami Shah.

Crowley, Gadreel, & the Mark BeginsA hunter's funeral, a rock star in pleather pants, and Crowley finally getting out of the dungeon. That's just the first fifteen minutes.Road Trip picks up right where the midseason finale left our broken little hearts. Dean is not okay. Sam still doesn't know what's been living inside him. And the only person with a plan to fix any of it is Crowley, which tells you everything about how bad things have gotten.This week Berly and LA break down the road trip to Somerset, Metatron lurking in a bar for reasons that may or may not be strategic, a very handsome angel named Abner who makes some deeply unfortunate life choices, and the moment Sam finally gets the full picture of what Dean did. Also: Castiel's new trench coat gets a formal review, Crowley earns some genuine tenderness from two people who should know better, and Abaddon finds out the hard way that hell is not a dictatorship.This week's lore digs into the real Aleister Crowley, the self-proclaimed Beast who founded his own religion, dabbled in occult secret societies, and inspired everyone from Neil Gaiman to Ozzy Osbourne.

Send us Fan MailIn the explosive series finale of this arc (Episode 266 of Werewolf the Podcast: A Serial (Killer) Drama), Fairy Foxglove delivers a chilling, unhinged monologue about the death of belief, the kidnapping of children's belief factories, and her vengeful transformation from a creature of wonder into a sadistic killer. Trapped in her reality-warping fairy bubble on a kitten-infested battlefield, she attempts to permanently murder the immortal Professor Simon de Montfort—only for Lucifer (the Devil herself) to intervene with a clever domain twist. Watch (or listen) as Wil/Fen the giant black werewolf charges in, the Wing Commander and Lady Luck join the fray, horror kittens rampage, and swords fly in a brutal, darkly hilarious climax. Featuring Foxglove bisected, the collection of the mysterious Law of the Rings (via Amazombies), and Wil's naked demand for more murder—this episode blends supernatural horror, fairy mythology, Hell politics, sharp British banter, and over-the-top violence with laugh-out-loud absurdity. Perfect for fans of dark fantasy audio dramas, horror comedy like What We Do in the Shadows or Good Omens, werewolf stories, Neil Gaiman-style myths, and chaotic supernatural battles.

This week we're bringing you a conversation Michael Tamblyn had in 2021 with Natalie Zina Walschots about her extremely fun novel called Hench. It's about a world where superheroes are out there saving the day in super ways, while villains, who are a lot like you and me, run organizations bent on taking over the world while also trying to keep scores up on Glassdoor. Natalie's just released a sequel to Hench, and it's called Villain.    [From 2021:] We learned about some of the fantastical worlds Natalie enjoyed exploring as a young reader "often for sheer escapism," as well as the writers she drew inspiration from while starting out as a writer herself, and as a lifelong student of supervillainy: Robert O'Brien's Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH and Z for Zachariah High fantasy including J. R. R. Tolkien, but also Shannara, Dragonlance, and "anything with a wizard holding an orb on the cover" or "a skeleton holding a sword" Christian Bök, Karen Solie, bp Nichol, and other writers "doing super weird things with language and the structural materiality of language..." Soon I Will Be Invincible "was the first book I read from the perspective of a supervillain." "Paradise Lost is really important to me ... the relationship between Satan the adversary to the world informs the way I write villains." Neil Gaiman's Sandman, where "a character who's a villain in one context becomes the protagonist in another." Vicious by V E Schwab Erin Morgenstern's The Night Circus and various writings of Catherynne M. Valente for their "messed up fairy tale feel."

In this episode of the Hugonauts we're breaking down what truly defines great Young Adult fiction and answering the ultimate question: do these books actually hold up when you read them for the first time as an adult? We look at the core guidelines of YA literature—from exploring the human condition through a young protagonist's eyes to (ideally) teaching profound stuff that resonates beyond teenhood.  We count down the absolute best YA sci-fi books and YA fantasy recommendations. We dive into legendary dystopian hits like The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, masterclass sci-fi like Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card and Red Rising by Pierce Brown, and classic fantasy staples like Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling, J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, Philip Pullman's The Golden Compass, and C.S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia. But we don't just look at the masterpieces.  We also separate the true YA novels from books that are actually meant for middle-grade kids (like The Giver, Redwall, and The Phantom Tollbooth). Finally, we tackle the controversial "duds" of the genre. Why are massive bestsellers like The Maze Runner, Divergent, and Scythe so incredibly popular, and why did they fall totally flat for us? Grab your reading list and let's find out which books are actually worth your time!  No spoilers anywhere in this episode.

A Note from James:Today on The James Altucher Show, I'm excited to welcome back one of my favorite guests, David Epstein.David is the bestselling author of Range, which completely changed how I think about my own jack-of-all-trades life. In his new book, Inside the Box: How Constraints Make Us Better, David flips the usual idea of creativity on its head. We're always told that creativity comes from total freedom: the blank page, the blank canvas, unlimited resources. But David shows that the opposite is often true. Constraints can make us more creative, more focused, and better at solving problems.We talk about why General Magic had unlimited talent and money but still fell apart, while Pixar thrived by using strict story rules. We talk about Dr. Seuss writing Green Eggs and Ham with only 50 words, Bach boxing himself into fugues, Duke Ellington working inside the limits of early recording technology, and how the periodic table came out of a textbook deadline.This conversation gave me a new way to think about my own writing, podcasting, and creative process. So if you ever feel stuck, blocked, or overwhelmed by too many options, this episode is for you.Episode Description:James talks with David Epstein about a counterintuitive idea: creativity often improves when freedom is limited. David's new book, Inside the Box: How Constraints Make Us Better, argues that blank-slate freedom can push people toward obvious, repetitive solutions, while the right constraints force the brain to search for something new.The conversation moves across business, science, music, writing, sports, and education. David explains why General Magic had nearly unlimited resources and still failed to build a useful product, why Pixar's storytelling rules helped it create hit after hit, and why Dr. Seuss became more original by writing inside strict word limits. James connects the idea to writing, podcasting, public speaking, genre fiction, and the hero's journey.What makes the episode useful is that it gives creators and learners a practical reframe. If you're stuck, the answer may not be more freedom. It may be a better box.What You'll Learn:Why total freedom often leads to less original work.How constraints force creativity by blocking the most convenient solution.Why Pixar succeeded with storytelling rules while General Magic struggled with too much freedom.How Dr. Seuss used strict word limits to transform children's books.Why Bach, Duke Ellington, jazz, genre fiction, and the hero's journey all show the creative power of structure.How to use specific questions, projects, and “brain first, tool second” learning to improve creativity and education.Why later specialization can produce better long-term results than picking a lane too early.Timestamped Chapters:[02:00] Why blocking the easiest solution can spark creativity[02:49] A Note from James: David Epstein returns[04:09] Remembering in-person interviews vs. Zoom interviews[04:23] Memory, mnemonics, and what we forget over time[06:34] How Range helped James rethink being a generalist[08:23] The core idea of Inside the Box[09:07] Why the blank slate often fails[10:01] General Magic and the problem of too much freedom[12:05] Pixar as the opposite model[13:17] The three-pitches rule and small-team story development[14:21] The hero's journey as a storytelling constraint[15:25] George Lucas, Neil Gaiman, and inherited story structures[16:19] How David structured Inside the Box[17:06] The real story behind the periodic table[18:00] Why the Mendeleev dream story is probably false[19:09] Bach, Duke Ellington, and musical constraint[20:12] Bach as a “constraint zealot”[21:43] Dr. Seuss and the word-limit breakthrough[23:13] Beginner Books and the rules that changed children's literature[25:20] Practical constraints for writers, painters, and creators[25:45] Specific curiosity and idea linking[27:41] How David uses a master thought list[29:45] How specific questions powered David's earlier books[31:00] Roger Federer, Tiger Woods, and delayed specialization[33:00] Why generalists often win later[34:01] Why chess and golf are poor models for most learning[36:31] How parents can use constraints to help kids learn[37:15] The constraints-led approach to coaching[38:30] Swim coaching and letting learners find their own solution[39:15] Teaching astronomy through specific projects[40:37] The generation effect: why guessing improves learning[42:00] “Brain first, tool second” in the age of AI[43:26] Why developing brains benefit from analog difficulty[44:18] Early specialization in the UK vs. broader sampling[45:00] Why later specializers can win long-term[46:21] James on applying constraints to writing and podcasting[47:32] Jazz, grammar, and improvisation inside limits[48:01] Genre fiction and creativity within rules[49:21] Why originality became linked to total freedom[50:14] Communicating with an audience through familiar forms[51:13] Stoner, plot, and literary constraint[53:04] James suggests a constraints workbook[54:24] Writing on the subway and using life's limits[55:04] Closing thoughts on Inside the BoxAdditional Resources:David Epstein's official websiteInside the Box: How Constraints Make Us Better official book pageInside the Box on AmazonRange: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World official book pageRange on AmazonDavid Epstein's Range Widely newsletter.

Human Rights: Does a case against author Neil Gaiman for violating the sex trafficking laws belong in New Zealand? - Argued: Wed, 08 Apr 2026 15:49:11 EDT

Scarlett Pavlovich v. Neil Gaiman

Comic book artist Sam Kieth passed away earlier this month as a result of Lewy Body dementia, so our Lore Watch Podcast team wanted to take an episode to talk about his impact on the genre and pop culture as a whole. Both Sam Kieth's art style and plotlines shaped comics as we moved into a more grimdark take on the old heroes. Sam's comic The Maxx put him on the map, and his collaboration with now-notorious Neil Gaiman on The Sandman clinched his place in the pantheon of early 90s comics creators. And that was just the start of his career, which included a turn writing Batman, and later included a crossover with The Maxx as one of his final projects.Because Sam Kieth's comics deal with some heavy topics, this episode comes with a content warning for topics ranging from murder and gore to dissociative identity disorder and sexual assault. While we don't linger on these topics in-depth, they are present as a part of the discussion.If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What happens when superhero comics get weird—like, really weird? On this episode of "Unsung Ink," we explore the world of Sam Kieth, a creator who bent anatomy, tone, and storytelling into something wholly his own. We dig into Kieth's early days in comics, from his inking work on Mage with Matt Wagner to his memorable contributions to The Sandman alongside Neil Gaiman. From there, we discuss his underrated run on Marvel Comics Presents with Peter David—work that helped define his elastic, expressive style. Of course, no conversation about Kieth is complete without diving into his creator-owned projects, including The Maxx, Zero Girl, and Four Women—books that blended psychological depth and surrealism in ways that still feel ahead of their time. Following his passing on March 15 at the age of 63, we take a moment to reflect on Sam Kieth's legacy—a true original, and a voice in comics that can't be replicated. Rest in peace.

This one's hitting the comic world like a Maxx-sized gut punch -- Sam Kieth, the absolute madman who created The Maxx and co-launched Sandman with Neil Gaiman using that raw, fever-dream art nobody else could copy, passed away at 63 on March 15 after a brutal fight with Lewy Body Dementia. The guy who inked Wolverine stories, painted Batman nightmares, and basically defined '90s indie weirdness for MTV cartoons and Image Comics is gone -- yeah, no more new pages from the legend whose style screamed off the page, just a wife of 43 years and a mountain of influence that'll outlive us all.Watch the podcast episodes on YouTube and all major podcast hosts including Spotify.CLOWNFISH TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary podcast that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer's point of view.

#craftbeer #shaq #artificialintelligence Shaquille O'Neal is a legend around these parts (Orlando) but his headfirst dive into AI slop videos is disappointing, if not completely predictable. Is he the canary in the coal mine for wide-spread AI videos fully taking over social media for lazy creators? Are we overreacting? We'll see.

In this week's FOLLOW UP, Bitcoin is down 15%, miners are unplugging rigs because paying eighty-seven grand to mine a sixty-grand coin finally failed the vibes check, and Grok is still digitally undressing men—suggesting Musk's “safeguards” remain mostly theoretical, which didn't help when X offices got raided in France. Spain wants to ban social media for kids under 16, Egypt is blocking Roblox outright, and governments everywhere are flailing at the algorithmic abyss.IN THE NEWS, Elon Musk is rolling xAI into SpaceX to birth a $1.25 trillion megacorp that wants to power AI from orbit with a million satellites, because space junk apparently wasn't annoying enough. Amazon admits a “high volume” of CSAM showed up in its AI training data and blames third parties, Waymo bags a massive $16 billion to insist robotaxis are working, Pinterest reportedly fires staff who built a layoff-tracking tool, and Sam Altman gets extremely cranky about Claude's Super Bowl ads hitting a little too close to home.For MEDIA CANDY, we've got Shrinking, the Grammys, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy's questionable holographic future, Neil Young gifting his catalog to Greenland while snubbing Amazon, plus Is It Cake? Valentines and The Rip.In APPS & DOODADS, we test Sennheiser earbuds, mess with Topaz Video, skip a deeply cursed Python script that checks LinkedIn for Epstein connections, and note that autonomous cars and drones will happily obey prompt injection via road signs—defeated by a Sharpie.IN THE LIBRARY, there's The Regicide Report, a brutal study finding early dementia signals in Terry Pratchett's novels, Neil Gaiman denying allegations while announcing a new book, and THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, vibing with The Muppet Show as Disney names a new CEO. We round it out with RentAHuman.ai dread relief via paper airplane databases, free Roller Coaster Tycoon, and Sir Ian McKellen on Colbert—still classy in the digital wasteland.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.SquareSpace - go to squarespace.com/GRUMPY for a free trial.

In this episode of Never A Truer Word, Jack examines Neil Gaiman's recent public statement responding to the controversy and the allegations made against him and announcing a new writing project.The statement places strong emphasis on evidence, repeatedly referencing emails, text messages and video, while offering little narrative detail about controversy itself. Jack looks at how that focus shapes the reader's understanding, how certainty is asserted, and how credibility is selectively assigned.The episode also breaks down how Neil addresses his supporters, how journalism is reframed, and how the statement transitions from allegations into creative output and personal identity. Attention is paid to structure, sequencing, and the intended effect of closing on gratitude, belief, and future work.This is a close reading of the words used, the order they appear in, and what that construction is designed to secure.Want more from Never A Truer Word?

This week on The Marvelists, host Peter Melnick goes solo for a special deep-dive interview with the legendary wrestler Raven, exploring the grunge-era icon's lifelong passion for comics—particularly his deep appreciation for the Marvel universe. Raven, known for sporting comic-inspired t-shirts in the ring (from Doctor Strange to the Inhumans and Neil Gaiman's Sandman) and even co-writing a Spider-Man story in Marvel's Tangled Web series, opens up about how comic books have influenced his character, his promos, and his worldview. Peter and Raven geek out over Marvel Knights classics, Kevin Smith's groundbreaking Green Arrow run, the brilliance of Inhumans, and why titles like Sandman resonated so strongly with the brooding, philosophical grappler. Plus, Raven shares updates on his exciting current projects: his new documentary Nevermore: The Raven Effect, a raw and unflinching look at his career and the chaotic rise of ECW, now available on streaming platforms, and his weekly podcast The Raven Effect, where he and his co-hosts deliver unfiltered banter on everything from pop culture to conspiracies. It's a rare, insightful conversation blending pro wrestling grit with comic book lore—perfect for fans of both worlds. Tune in for the quotes, the stories, and maybe even a "Quoth the Raven, nevermore" or two! Available now on all major podcast platforms. Excelsior!
