  • Good but the hosts keep it from being great

    The recap and discussion of the text the show is based on is good but WITHOUT FAIL, Penny will ALWAYS compare the show to Buffy and Game of Thrones, and she MUST AT LEAST ONCE PER EPISODE, relate something in the show to some woke ideology. She really feels the need to shoehorn in her personal political beliefs and ideologies. Can we not just talk about a fantasy show without the social commentary?

  • Great show

    I am currently travelling the world with my family and rewatching season 1, leading up to season 2. I really enjoy the in depth discussions you have, especially those linking to the books and movies. I download the podcasts and listen to them while we are flying, bussing or training it through the many countries we are visiting. Hopefully we end up in New Zealand in the new year to see some of the glorious scenery from there show and movies.

  • Just the BEST Rings of Power podcast

    I listen the several different podcasts on the Rings of Power, but this one is hands down my favorite! Their love for both the books and the show is a joy to listen to and the knowledge base is exceptional. Penny and Anwen are so good together, and guests have done a great job as well. House Podcastica has done it again.
