Episode notes

Neil Gaiman's "The Sandman" is a mid-summer night stream written by Neil Gaiman with text from William Shakespeare. The show was recorded on August 31, 2013 at 10:30pm ET in Washington DC and 1:00am PT in New York City. In this version of the story Morpheus tells his followers that they can change the universe back to the way it once was if they dream about throwing off their masters' yoke.

Welcome to our newest show-within-a-show! We're working our way through Neil Gaiman's signature graphic novel series THE SANDMAN. Some Patreon supporters get these episodes monthly, but every two months we'll combine them for general consumption.

In Episode 3: DREAM COUNTRY, Gaiman needed a bit of a break after the Doll's House arc, and the result was a series of one-shots that contributed bits and pieces to the series' mythology without telling one larger story. Doesn't mean there isn't a lot to talk about, though!

In Episode 4: SEASON OF MISTS, there is a plot! Specifically, a plot about the Devil retiring and giving Dream the key to Hell and a bunch of other supernatural beings pleading their case for why they should get that sweet piece of real estate. Also a little kid sees some ghosts.
