  • Great hosts, great content!

    I found this podcast because I’m a follower of Rhani’s on TikTok, and I love it! I’ve never read the books but now I get to pretend I have heehee 💗 Very entertaining but also comforting enough to listen to while sleeping!

    I came because I wanted a collegiate lecture on all things Game of Thrones. I stayed to listen to two grown men harass each other with making musical theatre references.

  • My comfort podcast

    Not to be dramatic, but this podcast got me through 2025, which was a bad year for several national and global reasons, but also my cat got really sick and died. Rhani and Spicer’s goofball queer joy gets me out of my head better than just about anything else. I also truly adore them for going so hard on feminist and queer readings of these books, and damn it’s nice to hear two besties appreciating the hell out of GRRM’s story craft. Is it a perfect podcast? No, but also yes it really is.

Jon Snow Breaks Up W/ His Girlfriend | A Song of Spice and Rhani | S3 Episode 14
Q: From the muppets adaptation prompt, if you could have creative control to do a book-accurate adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire as muppets, who would each muppet be and who would voice actors be?
Spicer and Rhani discuss playful, hypothetical assignments for Muppet allegories of POVs and characters, joking about which muppets fit which roles and who should voice them, while keeping it light and imaginative.
Daenerys Goes Dracarys on Slavers | A Song of Spice and Rhani | S3 Episode 10
Q: What song would be playing while each POV character fights the US Supreme Court in a Walmart parking lot?
Sansa is imagined fighting to Miley Cyrus' Party in the USA, Daenerys to Let's Go Girls style energy, Tyrion to a punchy, confident anthem, and Arya to a defiant, upbeat track; the segment uses humorous, pop-culture flavor to riff on each character's attitude in battle.
Jaime Lannister is Just Neurodivergent | A Song of Spice and Rhani | S3 Episode 8
Q: Question of the week: Are POV characters or settlers traveling to California together who actually makes it, who dies horribly and how?
The hosts entertain a Donner Party–style hypothetical, ultimately suggesting Arya thrives and becomes a leader, Tyrion survives to an old age, while others like Sansa may meet tragic ends, reflecting on the harsh realities of frontier survival in the imagined scenario.
Stannis the Mannis is a Hypocrite | A Song of Spice and Rhani | S2 Episode 5
Q: If you could eat any of the food from A Song of Ice and Fire, what would it be?
They discuss the roasted pig from Ned's tourney and Sansa's lemon cakes; the pig is described richly and lingers as a dream food, while the lemon cakes are a nostalgic favorite.
Daenerys Doesn’t Want a Lavender Marriage | A Song of Spice and Rhani | S2 Episode 15
Q: Who would A Song of Ice and Fire characters have endorsed in the New York mayoral race?
They joke that Tywin would back Cuomo, Dany would support Mamdani, and Davos would back Curtis Sliwa, with Cersei dramatically weighing in on the lie-detecting politics of the moment; the exchange riffs on loyalty, power, and political theater rather than offering a serious endorsement.
