4.8 out of 5 stars from 1.6k ratings
  • No podcast does a deeper reading of each chapter and mines it for every morsel the way these guys do. Great companion to your reread or even a first read if you don't mind some spoilers from time to time.

  • Needs polish

    Emmett shines in this duo, whereas Manu fades. Seems like a good guy and hang but Manu routinely uses filler words (count the number of times he says “kinda”) and flubs his prepared remarks. Maybe try editing and multiple takes?

    Hope that Emmett continues to pod after the ASOIAF journey he has real analytical and vocal talent.

  • One of the better ASOIAF podcasts

    Enjoyable to listen to and they offer some interesting insight. Unfortunately, Manu sounds like a 14 year old who just read the Communist Manifesto for the first time (and I say this as someone who shares most of his beliefs). If you fast forward through some of his sections, it’s a 5-star podcast.

  • Let the good times roll

    Doing a complete relisten of the whole entire podcast. From the quality of the audio, the growth of the synopsis/in-depth discussion. Nothing has truly changed only improved!!! Funniest thing is to think that you would make it to a dance of dragons and only a couple of years.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 264: A FEAST FOR CROWS, SAMWELL IV: "Changes"
Q: What do you both think about reading Helaena through the lens of neurodivergence, and Alicent's difficulty understanding how she sees the world?
The hosts agree that the relationship appears intentionally written and performed as a loving but strained parent-child dynamic. They discuss how Alicent wants Helaena to fit familiar expectations, while Helaena's visions and perspective make that difficult, and note how fantasy can frame neurodivergence through prophecy or magic.
Episode 258: A FEAST FOR CROWS, THE REAVER: "Fury Road" ft. Jacob from Worker's Lit
Q: What do you think the best way to handle a blood raven slash Maynard Plum in a visual medium is?
The guest and hosts discuss potential reveal mechanics: an Agri-Reveal style misdirection, careful makeup to hint at Bloodraven without giving away the reveal too early, and leveraging masking or disguises to create a late twist that aligns with the books' tradition of on-page misdirection while keeping the adaptation cinematic.
Episode 254: A FEAST FOR CROWS, BRIENNE V: "The Hollow Men" ft. Michael
Q: What do you think the greater message of A Song of Ice and Fire is?
Michael discusses the themes of power and its effects on individuals, suggesting that the series explores how violence changes depending on point of view, particularly through Brienne's experiences.
Episode 242: A FEAST FOR CROWS, THE SOILED KNIGHT: "Return of the Repressed"
Q: If we just replaced a Blackfyre with a Targaryen, would we look at them differently or young grift differently?
The Blackfyre name has made their cadet branch more of an other in the narrative, affecting how we perceive legitimacy and sympathy towards bastards.
Episode 238: A FEAST FOR CROWS, BRIENNE II: "The One True Squire"
Q: What was Varys' plan regarding Tyrion?
The discussion reflects on Varys' intentions and whether he had a premeditated plan for freeing Tyrion or if he was forced into a reaction based on circumstances.
