We spent an afternoon speaking with Ryan Griffen, creator of the TV series Cleverman, which mixes the world of superheroes with stories from The Dreaming.

We learn a few things about the second season of Cleverman and the future of the comics based on the show. This episode was made possible thanks to the support of our Patreon supporters!
