Woohoo! Excellent choice. Recently discovered your seminars. Excited to participate in this one.
So excited my friend congratulations thank you for this wonderful service you provide
Looking forward to American gods. Would you ever consider looking at the movie the fifth element?
Cool idea!
Sounds great.
Alastair, I know you’ve been really busy getting everything off the ground, but will this podcast be available on iTunes anytime soon? I’m checking daily to subscribe. 🙂
It took a little while for iTunes to catch up, but it’s available now: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/storms-on-the-way-point-north-media/id1223838196?mt=2!
There aren’t times posted on this American Gods schedule.
The times are going to change from week to week to account for listeners in different time zones, but most will be at 9PM Eastern!
Quick question in regards to the reading: is this the original edition or the 10th Anniversary edition, which has extra content?
We’re using the Author’s Preferred edition, but the first revision will more or less work for the purposes of the series!
Is there a Reddit or discord chat for this series. Great book for this seminar.
Not yet, Chad, but I’ll have a Discord channel set up this week!
Hi Alastair, I’m looking forward to listening to the first episode of Storm’s On the Way. I wondered if there will be a Google spreadsheet available for the schedule like the one for There and Back Again? I use that for reference quite a lot. No worries if you hadn’t planned to do this. 🙂
There isn’t a Google spreadsheet, because I naively expected this schedule to be a little more simple than There And Back Again — you can, however, find the schedule here: http://pointnorthmedia.com/american-gods-seminar-schedule/
