Mature Listeners 18: Transmetropolitan Vol. 2: The Aquarium ft. @EveningJessie and @Buhrianmorgan

Content note: in this episode we discuss the sexual misconduct allegations against Warren Ellis. We try to avoid going into unnecessary detail that may trigger survivors of similar abuse while still communicating the substance of the allegations, but nothing we could say could take the place of the testimonies given by the signatories at somanyofus.com. Please read those testimonies at your own pace.

In this episode, Jessie and Brian join us to discuss more Transmetropolitan, how the reaction to this work was instrumental in creating the fan community Ellis would go on to exploit, and what genuine insights make this book compelling enough even today that it could create that sort of community. We also do a draft of our favorite cinema snacks because we need something to talk about that doesn't make us extremely despondent about the failures of institutions to protect those who trust them.
