Episode notes

The end of the story is... I mean, we get like all through the story we've been getting these little snippets of Augustus as a boy and his bad relationship with Julius Caesar. And he talks about how he saw two futures for Rome, Andrew. One where it sputtered and flared and went away after a few hundred years and one where it became the whole world and just grew until there was nothing left. The way for Rome to flourish forever is for it to never ever stop growing. Like he knows the one thing that he needs to do to make the end door. It's not an endless, but it's not a god.

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 5: A GAME OF YOU, the story is about Barbie, her fantastical dreams, Barbie's friend Wanda, their neighbors Hazel and Foxglove, a vengeful witch named Thessaly, an authoritarian cuckoo bird, and MARTIN FLIPPING TENBONES.

In Episode 6: FABLES AND REFLECTIONS, Gaiman penned another set of one-off stories. Some are fables, others are reflections. Tune in to find out which is which!
