  • Only podcast I listen to

    I’m not a big podcast listener, but I found this podcast when I started reading the books for the first time earlier this year. There’s so much detail that you miss on a casual read-through and this is a perfect companion podcast (even for a first read) as there are no spoilers. If you’ve watched the show and want to get into the books, this podcast is a must-listen to understand each chapter and the background in it. When I catch up to present-day I will probably just re-listen from the beginni... more

  • Nice accents

    This is truly the best ASOIAF podcast I’ve found. The extraordinarily detailed summaries and deep dives into the book really make it that much easier to understand; on numerous occasions it allows me to learn things I hadn’t caught when reading the books previously. I love pedantry corner and it’s incredibly entertaining to listen to the two of you hash out the most minuscule, seemingly unimportant detail. The chemistry between the Simon and Mackelly is incredible (nod to Simon’s ph... more
