Soon to be a miniseries from HBO! Did they ask him about that?
It is a very bad idea to ask Moore about adaptations of his work. One could write a whole book about Moore's (mostly justified) antagonism toward DC as a company and all adaptations of his work.

Like when he worked for Wildstorm, which was bought out by DC, they had to make special arrangements so that Moore would not receive any checks or paperwork with DC Comics mentioned anywhere on it. He stopped discussing any adaptations of his work after some dumb reviewer trashed League of Extraordinary Gentlemen based on having only seen the movie.

He's pretty awesome, but he's written all kinds of material, genre-wise, and some of it really bothers some people. (There's one that I think includes teen girl sex that a lot of folks in BSS do not like.)

You should have a go at listening to what people say rather than just the tone they say it in.

This isn't just good advice for podcasts, it's also good for used car shopping and lots of other situations.

I mean he was basically describing the power of art and media to shift peoples beliefs and perception but dressing it all up in a mystical tone. His description of advertising as a form of (extremely evil) magic makes this pretty clear.

Yeah, I kind of rolled my eyes at first when he was talking about shamans and magic, but as he went on what he was saying started to make a lot of practical sense. I don't know if he actually believes in magic, but he relates it very sensibly to the real world to the point that it doesn't matter. Reminds me of Stephen King saying a similar thing about the written word being like a form of telepathy in On Writing

I mean when you break it down that’s actually what Magick is. It’s a form of meditation. Tarot cards don’t actually tell your future. But they are vague enough that you can put whatever meaning Into them you want which may force you to confront some things you’ve been ignoring simply by whatever meaning you put onto the card. A lot of that new age stuff has practical use it’s just been perverted by people who want to make money.

Something about this feels kinda hinky
If someone wants an Alan Moore rec try to find The Ballad of Halo Jones, a series he did for 2000 AD early in his career, before he was a bankable (for comics) name and before he got way too meticulous in his scripts. As someone with a lot of Moore's stuff on his shelf, Halo Jones is my personal favorite.

I love that Morrison and Moore had a long-running spat because Morrison explained to an interviewer that Moore is not the dad of all British comic writers because he has a big beard.

what the thunder said
Moore's whole shtick with magic is to filter out the dullards he doesn't want to talk to; highly effective too.

He's the deliberate opposite of the sober man in a grey suit who carefully explains through charts and graphs why a certain percentage of poor children have to die. He dresses like gandalf attending the bulldog bash and explains in magical terms why a deterministic universe means you have more not less moral responsibility.
