- Respectfully
Less of the guy who doesn’t read please. Nobody wants to listen to 2 1/2 hours of lore with a guy who doesn’t know the lore.

do you wanna do the podcast yourself or let her talk? choose one. listened to two episodes and ashaya doesn’t get to speak until 6 minutes in, then 8 minutes. in one of the episodes she doesn’t get a full sentence out before being interrupted. please let her speak and have an actual conversation instead of rambling on your own.
back again. third listen. 11 minutes this time. jesus christ.

Apple Podcasts1Keith BoshUnited States19 days ago - Love this show
Long time listener. At this point I know more about Westerosi history than United States history. Aziz and Ashaya are so friendly and knowledgeable of GRRM universe. I would definitely want to be friends with them in real
life. My only petty criticism is of their guest Sean - he provides the POV from someone who hasn’t read the source material. His insistence on mispronouncing character names is exhausting. My dude, stopit
Apple Podcasts5dianameowchelleUnited States19 days ago - Good deep dives, but they miss a huge source
I’m only listening to the re-reads, and they do a really good job of getting into the literary elements/devices and George’s inspirations and stuff. But they leave out a HUGE source: the music

other books/mediums. We all
have our blind spots, but this is a ... more
