What happens when science fiction dares to tell stories that feel like home? In the exciting Season 4 finale of Spirit Talk Show, we welcome internationally acclaimed author MD Neu, whose work blends the otherworldly with the deeply personal — from haunted suburbs to underwater civilizations, always with LGBTQ+ characters at the heart of the tale.

Neu joins us for a powerful, funny, and deeply honest conversation about why representation matters, how AI is reshaping creative landscapes, and what keeps storytelling sacred in an age of automation. We cold-read AI interpretations of his work (with surprising results), and Neu reflects on the difference between prompt-driven plot and soul-driven narrative.

You’ll also hear about his newest book, Golden Hills Haunting, a gripping paranormal novel about a gay couple, their daughter, and the sinister truths buried beneath their picture-perfect neighborhood.

Because sometimes the most fantastical stories are the ones that tell the truth.
