  • A Fresh Take

    Whether you have watched Game of Thrones for the 15th time or for the first, this is the perfect companion piece to the worldwide phenomenon that is Game of Thrones. The host brings a refreshing perspective on the show having not seen the show before and having stayed away from spoilers. If you’re making your way through the show yourself for the first time it’s the perfect listen so that you have a companion who is as new to it as you are. And if you’re a seasoned Game of Thrones expert, then i... more

  • Winter is Coming!

    This is a great concept for a show! The host has never seen Game of Thrones and has no idea what all the fuss is about. Each episode of the podcast breaks down an episode of the show as seen from someone with fresh and new eyes. She has a guest on each episode who has more experience with the show than her, and it creates a fun back and forth! I can’t recommend this show enough if you’re a fan of Game of Thrones or someone who is watching for the first time!
