You know how to pick&#8217;em! I did not read the Gaiman book but thankfully for the pause button, IMDB and the world wide web, I can read up on the deities being covered in the show.<\/p>\n<p>A couple things: (1) Shakamak State Park, an Indiana State Park, was briefly shown in the <a href=\"https:\/\/shatontv.com\/american-gods-episode-1-the-bone-orchard\/\">first episode<\/a>. Living in Indiana, although never having visited the park, I am certain this was not the actual park represented in the episode. The scene looked more like a park in New Mexico. Minor detail to most, but living in Indiana it is definitely a misstep. (2) Here&#8217;s a fun fact. The Indiana State Seal shows a buffalo, which is intended to &#8220;represent the wilderness fleeing westward away from the advancing civilization.&#8221; As it relates to the show, possibly representative of the old gods competing with the new gods (maybe I am reaching). And (3) I am waiting for a fan to make a Google map of the route Shadow and Wednesday are taking.<\/p>\n<p>I thoroughly enjoy the symbolism in this show. I had to watch the first episode twice because I was not expecting so many subtle references. I am certain there is so much I have missed and hope to pick up on as the season continues. Anxious for everything to come full-circle.<\/p>\n<p>Keep up the good work!<br \/>\nBrandon<p><strong>Subscribe Now<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Android:\u00a0<a title=\"Android\" href=\"https:\/\/shatontv.com\/american-gods-android\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/shatontv.com\/american-gods-android<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Apple\/iTunes:\u00a0<\/em><a title=\"iTunes\" href=\"https:\/\/shatontv.com\/american-gods-itunes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>https:\/\/shatontv.com\/american-gods-itunes<\/em><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><u>Help Support the Podcast<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Support with Paypal &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/shatontv.com\/paypal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/shatontv.com\/paypal<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Support With Venmo \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/venmo.com\/ShatPodcasts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/venmo.com\/ShatPodcasts<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Shop \/ Merchandise: <a href=\"https:\/\/teespring.com\/stores\/shat-on-podcasts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/shatontv.com\/shop<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Shop Amazon With Our Affiliate Link &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/?tag=shatmovies-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/?tag=shatmovies-20<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Sponsor&#8217;s Listener Survey &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/shatontv.com\/survey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/shatontv.com\/survey<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Leave an iTunes Review &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/shatontv.com\/american-gods-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/shatontv.com\/american-gods-review<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Leave a Voicemail &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"tel:914-719-7428\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(914) 719-SHAT<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"tel:914-719-7428\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(914) 719-7428<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Feeds &amp; Social Media &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/shatontv.com\/subscribe-and-follow\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/shatontv.com\/subscribe-and-follow\/<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Checkout our Movie Podcast &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/shatthemovies.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/shatthemovies.com<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Notifications of new Shat podcasts are basically why I get out of bed in the morning.
