Summary

⚠️ Warning: This episode gets dark. Real dark. Listen at your own risk.

More than 15 women have now come forward saying that iconic fantasy writer Neil Gaiman (Coraline, The Sandman, Good Omens, American Gods) either blurred the line of consent, or directly and violently assaulted them.

The explicit details have shocked the literary and music worlds alike, but there's now another question...did his ex-wife, popular indie musician and activist Amanda Palmer know? Was she complicit in some instances of abuse?

Let's break it all down.
