!! GIVEAWAY ALERT !!
Shiloh Carroll's new book, The Medieval Worlds of Neil Gaiman: From Beowulf to Sleeping Beauty, is now out! Carroll joins us this week to discuss medievalism in Gaiman's works and to dig into The Sandman TV series and a bit of the comic books.
You can buy Shiloh's book now or tune into the episode to learn how to win a SIGNED COPY for free:
- Available in paperback, ebook, or audiobook
Learn more about Shiloh's work and other essays on her site — https://shilohcarroll.wordpress.com/

- Follow Shiloh on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/medievalismist/
From the author of Medievalism in A Song of Ice and Fire and Game of Thrones, comes a new collection of essays:
Neil Gaiman is one of the most widely known writers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, having produced fiction and nonfiction, fantasy and horror, television, comics, and prose. He often attributes this eclecticism to his “compost heap” approach to writing, gathering inspiration from life, religion, literature, and mythology.
Readers love to sink into Gaiman’s medieval worlds—but what makes them “medieval”? Shiloh Carroll offers an introduction to the idea of medievalism, how the literature and culture of the Middle Ages have been reinterpreted and repurposed over the centuries, and how the layers of interpretation have impacted Gaiman’s own use of medieval material. She examines influences from Norse mythology and Beowulf to medieval romances and fairy tales in order to expand readers’ understanding and appreciation of Gaiman’s work, as well as the rest of the medievalist films, TV shows, and books that are so popular today.
Out now for purchase as paperback, audiobook, or ebook—or check out our episode to learn how to win a free, signed copy.

THE OUTER SENSHI ARE HERE! It's so exciting of a season that we had to split it into two episodes. We talk about animation improvements this season, pacing, and compare it with the original 90s anime—as well as of course, our new sailor senshi, gender, and sexuality.
This episode covers episode 1 through episode 7 of season 3 (Infinity, Premonition Part 1 through Infinity, Transformation).
BIG SPECIAL THANKS TO SANRIXIAN AND WARREN DUDSON FOR THIS IMAGE OF US AS MAGICAL GIRLS!

"Let me tell you something about wolves, child. When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies, but the pack survives. Summer is the time for squabbles. In winter, we must protect one another, keep each other warm, share our strengths. So if you must hate, Arya, hate those who would truly do us harm. Septa Mordane is a good woman, and Sansa … Sansa is your sister. You may be as different as the sun and the moon, but the same blood flows through both your hearts."
