    "If I could use words
    Like scattering flowers and falling leaves
    What a bonfire my poems would make”

    Please join us for a discussion of the excellent, smash hit limited-series, SHŌGUN. Penny is joined by Jonathan and Sam to dig into the rich layers of this ten-episode series from FX/Hulu/Disney+.

They talk about the characters, costumes, and customs that make up the world of SHŌGUN, heaping praise on the lush production values, the break out performances and sensitive adaptation.
