DESTINIES PROMO for May 19, 2023

This week, Destinies honors the memory of writer and transgender activist Rachel Pollack, who died of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma at the age of 77 on April 7th, with part one of a two-part memorial, in the full-length 237th edition of "Graphic Detail."

Tune in Friday night, and travel back to I-Con 14, where Rachel Pollack, then fresh off her two-year run as writer of DC Comics' Doom Patrol, discussed her work on the title, including how she inherited the writing reins from the legendary Grant Morrison; how she created comics' first transgender super-hero, Coagula; how she responded to the criticism of her work being "weird for weirdness' sake," and some of her most memorable stories for Doom Patrol.

You'll also hear about her early encounters with Neil Gaiman, her long-time interest in the Kabbalah and Tarot, and her writing of the Vertigo Tarot Deck.

Friday, May 19th, at 11:30 PM.
Hosted by Howard Margolin, who marks his 1,600th consecutive broadcast of
