- Intelligent and chock full of insight
Started looking for a podcast worthy of Gaiman’s work - these folks do a great job weaving the psychological, historical and metaphysical together in their American God’s analysis. (Still holding out hope for the TV show!)

United States7 years ago - Insightful and heartwarming
These hosts are intelligent, well spoken, and heartwarmingly kind to one another. If you want to listen to a podcast with two people who know a lot about mythos, current social hot topics, and know how to have a debate without getting cranky? This is the podcast for you (you should also prob like American Gods, but I won't judge either way).
Apple Podcasts5Kait GilleranUnited States8 years ago - Critical analysis not critique
This show is wonderful because these two hosts obviously love the source material and enjoy the show. They talk about all aspects of making the show, song choices to editing. They do this while applying a deep analysis and bringing in a lot of references to the diverse reaction to the show. They never shy away from the difficult questions whilst still expressing love for this show. This is one of those podcasts where you think about it while you're watching and you'll listen as soon as the credi... more

Apple Podcasts5JayelleMoCanada9 years ago - Excellent Analysis!
I've never read the book, but I'm enjoying the show and I really enjoy SL and Allan's breakdowns of the episodes. The beginning stringers are one of my favorite parts of any breakdown, reading from the different books from the different gods. Very clever detail! You should definitely subscribe to this podcast and include it in your American Gods experience!
Apple Podcasts5OtherBlueGirlUnited States9 years ago - Lovely chat with friends
Anya & Alan bring a critical but approachable perspective to this fantastic television show. Their discussion of character and story always sends me back to watch the episode for a third time becuase they've always seen something I missed!
Apple Podcasts5GypsyBookNerdUnited States9 years ago - Literally Chipper
I will stand for the next reading.... What a great opening! The music sets the tone for the show. You feed the audience little tidbits throughout. I enjoy your perspective. It's very entertaining, I especially like the back and forth between Alan and Anya. The out takes were pretty funny. For the sister that sleeps... I'm with you both I can't say her name either. Was that truth or did you take Shadow's lead and build on that? Either way it made me laugh out loud while driving. Anxiously... more
Apple Podcasts5Mobax819United States9 years ago - Monday Morning Go To
This podcast has become my "must listen" for Monday mornings. Alan and Anya are so insightful and point out many things from the show that I may have missed or interpreted differently. I also love how they bring in information from other sources that help emphasize a point, or even offer a differing perspective. If you like American Gods and are following along with the STARZ adaptation, this podcast is a MUST.
