The long wait is over! After a pandemic and behind-the-scenes battles delayed production, "American Gods" returns for Season 3 on January 10. 

The King Bee and Gene Lyons are back with a look at what's happened since Season 2, who's coming back, and multiple ways to pronounce "Chic Eglee." The Shat Crew also introduces listeners to some new characters, and cautions against ever watching "Marvel's Inhumans."

Season 3 Overview: The third season of American Gods, based on Neil Gaiman's novel of the same name, premiered on Starz on January 10, 2021, and will consist of ten episodes. Charles H.
