7.5. Bonus Primesode: Enter Sandman, Isaac Asimov and Dogman

Back in December 2022, Arnab and Ilya sat down to record episode 7, a metasode about podcasting. But we started talking about The Sandman and Dune and got carried away so far into the sci-fi land that we didn’t talk about podcasting at all. On the other hand, I got to show off my terrible guitar playing skills completely butchering Enter Sandman! We got to talk about all of our favorite sci-fi authors, books, and movies. We discuss Neil Gaiman’s Sandman comic series, its Audible version, and the Netflix interpretation. Then we go into Isaac Asimov and finally end with Dav Pilkey’s Dogman.
