Anya and Alan discuss Lemon Scented You, the 5th episode of American Gods. We rave about the music, Mad Sweeney saying dead-wife, and Gillian Anderson. This episode is brought to you by the word 'Raven'.

Anya and Alan discuss the amazing 4th Episode 'Git Gone'. They can't agree on anything about Laura Moon, but everyone agrees that Audrey is the best. Do your best to keep both arms attached as you listen.

Our first mailbag covers feedback from Ep. 2 and 3. In addition to answering your emails and tweets, we share several articles from smart people helping us to understand what American Gods is doing. 

Anya and Alan talk about compassionate immigrant stories, Ian McShane's nationality, and mystical fire-escapes. They always say Zorya Polunochnaya correctly. 'Head Full of Snow' is all about faith. And robbing banks, but mostly faith.  

We discuss the second episode 'The Secret of Spoon'. Anya and Alan debate progressive depictions of naked bodies, anachronistic arachnids, and how Gillian Anderson makes everything better. We loved this episode and are so excited for the rest of the season.

We discuss the premiere episode of American Gods, The Bone Orchard. Anya and Alan talk about errant Viking head-counts, coin tricks, and man-eating vaginas. We look deep under the gloss of this episode and uncover some interesting ideas.
