  • No Idea What They're Talking About

    Jovial enough guys but their attempts at analysis just fall flat. Listening to one guy spout the keyboard warrior's mantra of "bad writing" while simultaneously indicating Theon Greyjoy was a bastard and Arya met Hot Pie while fleeing from Winterfell, painful. I don't expect casual fans to know the lore. But I prefer podcasts where the participants understand the big story beats, especially if they're going to yell "bad writing" throughout the entire episode. Pass on this one.

  • Best HoTD podcast!

    Really enjoy listening to this podcast, both the instant takes as well as the more detailed reviews. I hope they keep doing both for season 2! Anxiously awaiting their review of episode one.

  • The realest

    if you like HOTD and listening to in depth discussion, AND can handle disagreeing with hosts occasionally without losing your mind, then check out talking Targaryen! If you wanna hear compliments and unending praise heaped onto the show, then boy will you LOVE the official HBO HOTD podcast

  • Love this podcast!

    I’ve never listened to podcasts, like ever! But I can’t get enough House of the Dragon since I’m having to wait for a new one each week. I listened to the official HBO podcast before listening to this one. This one is sooo much better!

  • This Podcast Hates The Show

    Why would any fan of HOTD want to listen to a podcast that continuously bash the show. All they do is complain and mock the show. Horrible, whiny and disgusting hosts. If you’re a GOT or HOTD fan, DO NOT subscribe to this. It’s a podcast that hates House of the Dragon and thinks they are smart because of it.

  • Best House of the Dragon podcast!!!

    This is the only House of the Dragon podcast I have finally found enjoyable! Love the way these guys conduct the show. It’s not filled with senseless & unrelated dialogue. The point of views & scene interpretations are extremely well thought out. I wish each episode was hours long haha! Looking forward to listening to every episode, as they come out!

  • Look no further

    The OneTake bros are my favorite podcasters and I am so glad they are covering House of the Dragon. They have a fair, objective, and humorous take on the show and I love their chemistry. Just know that Talking Targaryen is best enjoyed on video so you can enjoy Adam’s beautiful face and scrumptious muscles :)

  • These guys are the best

    Stumbled upon Saulcast the second half of season 6 and absolutely loved your show. Went back and listened to every single one while I drove my UPS truck around delivering packages 5-6 days a week. Was so excited to hear you decided to do a House of the Dragon show. The first episode of HoD was 10/10. Better than anyone could have expected. To see that you guys are going to be here from the start makes it that much better. You guys produce top shelf content. I will continue to turn people onto yo... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

House of the Dragon - Season 2 Episode 3 "The Burning Mill"
Q: Do you think Rhaenyra would have had something to offer in terms for peace?
It seems like Alison immediately cuts her off, so we don't know what Rhaenyra may have had in mind; maybe she was planning a proposal or another means of resolution.
House of the Dragon - Season 2 Episode 3 "The Burning Mill"
Q: Why doesn't Alison alert the guards and have Reneer killed?
Alison likely doesn't feel she has it in her to commit that level of betrayal and also understands that killing Rhaenyra might escalate the situation even further.
