20 - In Search of Genius (Part 3)

Labyrinths, hybrid creatures, and psychic ghost ships. On this episode, Kris and I wrap up our conversation around artistic genius through a discussion of two writers who are very important to us. We finish up with the question: why are so many artistic geniuses not recognized during their lifetimes?
