Neil Gaiman is a British writer and long-time friend of Terry Pratchett, whom he first met when interviewing him about The Colour of Magic for Star Voyager magazine in 1980s. Neil made his name in comics first, most notably as the writer of The Sandman series for Dark Horse (an imprint of DC Comics). He later became known as an author, collaborating with Pratchett on Good Omens before going on to write a number of hit fantasy novels for adults and children, including American Gods, Coraline and The Ocean at the End of the Lane. Many of his works have been adapted for television, and he is the showrunner and head writer for the Amazon Prime/BBC adaptation of Good Omens.

Adaptations
Neil appears in a cameo role with Terry as a pair of policemen in the BBC Radio adpatation of Good Omens. He is also showrunner and head writer for Good Omens, the making of which was Terry's last request to Neil.
Aside from Good Omens, many of Gaiman’s own stories have been adapted for television and film, most notably Coraline, American Gods and most recently Sandman. Adaptations of Anansi Boys (related to but not a sequel to American Gods) and others are in the works.
Many of his books have been adapted for audio, most notably Neverwhere (for the BBC) and Sandman (for Audible). Note that the television series of Neverwhere is not an adaptation, but the original version, which Gaiman later adapted into a book. He narrates several of his own audiobooks, including Norse Mythology.
Podcast episodes
Neil doesn't host any podcasts, but has appeared on many - mostly radio programs which have also been released in podcast form. We’ll just include the few that are most Pratchett relevant.
