Comments Off on The Worm Hole Podcast Episode 25: Intisar Khanani (Thorn; Sunbolt; Memories Of Ash)
Charlie and Intisar Khanani (Thorn; Sunbolt; Memories Of Ash) discuss working to better the health of people in Cincinnati, rewriting and exploring the Goose Girl fairy tale to stunning effect, bonkers jail-breaking heroines, and men who take a far more subtle approach than riding in on horses to save the day.
