- They went and got political
I really enjoyed this show until the first season 3 episode. I won’t be listening anymore I don’t want to hear about your political beliefs on a podcast about House of the Dragon. Unsubscribing

I have to turn down the volume whenever the guy is speaking because he’s a dope. But Joanna really knows her stuff and understands the deeper meanings and plot devices that her co-host doesn’t seem to grasp. He adds zero value to this podcast.

The recaps are always on point and David Chen is well-versed in filmmaking. Love the pod!

Apple Podcasts2BrentHeavenUnited States7 months ago - Listening in 2025 as I watch GoT for the first time! Joanna R led me here!

She’s so thoughtful and I’ve been following her work via the ringer for years, when I began watching GoT for the first time here in 2025 I was curious if Joanna had done a commentary or pod and that’s how I found she and Dave! I love this pod! I’m going per episode I watch and then I listen! Just sending some love to y’all in 2025! Also, Joanna you were right about Jon and Ygritte when you mentioned the season ... more
