Welcome to the Bonus-wag with Neil Gaiman!

Neil's got a needy actor story that Paul relates to and understands. How being a Brit helps Neil write about America with the perfect amount of detachment to see it clearly. And is America the land of the trickster and huckster? How are George Santos and Donald Trump perfectly American creations and why are they celebrated?

All this and John Wayne Bobbitt comes up (Google him, ywsm!).

Paul Giamatti is an award-winning actor and producer. Stephen Asma is a professor and author specializing in the philosophy of science, religion, and art.

Neil Gaiman is an award-winning, New York Times Best Selling author and prolific creator of prose, poetry, film, journalism, comics, song lyrics, and drama. His works include the comic book series The Sandman and the novels Good Omens, Stardust, Anansi Boys, American Gods, Coraline, and The Graveyard Book. Neil is also a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN refugee agency UNHCR and his latest book What You Need To Be Warm is available now and every copy purchased helps refugees stay warm this winter.
