  • 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

I have read ASOIAF several times and am desperately trying to avoid another re-read while waiting for the Winds Of Winter to be completed. Your podcast has allowed me to scratch that itch while keeping my focus on other b... more

  • The best book club in town

    It wouldn’t be an understatement to say that this podcast changed the way I read ASOIAF, as any fan knows the series has complicated plotting and wonderful world building and I felt the need to talk it out with someone, but with no close friends reading the books I found the great Simon and McKelly, who turned my fondness for the series into an obsession. I started listening to them around book 2 and finally caught up, it’s weird having to wait a week for something I listened to basically every ... more
