  • Excellent Deep Dives

    I just heard the episode on Giants from 2022. Every time I hear GoT/ASOIAF podcasts, I can’t believe how much I missed in my reading of the books! Beautiful deep diving, I love it, can’t wait to hear more.

  • The most annoying voice ever

    I really wanted to listen but the host sounds like he’s constantly yelling and has the most irritating way of speaking.

  • Amazing

    This scratches my itch for ASOIF especially when I’m not in the middle of a rewatch of any of the series on HBO. So well studied and entertaining. Their reading voices are really good addition 10/10 listen to this show
