In this episode, Charlyn and Mark discuss American Gods by Neil Gaiman alongside Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. Meddling divine beings abound!
Next week (November 27th, 2019) we'll be discussing murder ballads! As promised in the episode, here are the links to the Spotify playlists we put together in advance of the episode:
Unramblings - Murder Ballads:
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3ScrFrTpIILTLmVhn0QygD?si=b9SADs5sRNCZCTob3cRZDQ
This playlist only contains the songs that we discuss in the episode
Unramblings - Murder Ballads (Expanded):
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4TWLwwV3rWdhHMFHFFxILj?si=_qxFtiadRtiaIIU6JwGQag
This playlist contains all the songs that we listened to in selecting tracks to discuss for the episode.
Show notes:
Ricky Whittle plays Shadow Moon in the American Gods TV adaptation. Mark forgot this in the spur of the moment, and adding it in later seemed like a lot of effort.
Charlyn refreshed her memory on these books with TV Tropes, here are the links in case you would like to do the same:
