Cast of Thrones – The Game of Thrones Podcast

It has been too damn long! We are back and ready to go. After almost two years, things have gotten a bit foggy and we decided we should take a quick look at how last season wrapped up and talk about what we think will happen this year. Thank you all for coming back and let's get ready together, for the final donkey ride.

We've almost done it again! The penultimate episode. In this weeks episode we get all the dirt on what happened between MIB and his daughter. We mainly focus on William and see how he got to where he is, and what happened to his wife. We also have a brief but mind blowing run in with Teddy and Dolores.

It's building to something big, and we can't wait for next week.

This weeks episode really takes a step back from the main story line and focuses on a character we've seen a lot in the background, but never gotten to know. This change of form pays of big time giving us one of the best most interesting episodes of the whole show. As Maeve is lying dying in bed we get the story of Akecheta and Khoa and find out how he became ghost nation. It's quite heart breaking seeing things unfold from his perspective. Unlike most of the hosts, he lives for a decade without dying and become very knowledgable in the world. Anyway, tune in for our discussion!

This weeks episode was pretty divisive amongst the internet and our cast of humble hosts. There was a lot of shooting and fighting and that rubbed some of us the wrong way. Either way, there was a lot to unpack in this episode as we get to the end game of season 2. Ford and Bernard are now one single hive mind controlling a robot body, Dolores reunites with papa, and Maeve and the MIB run into some complications. 

Won't you join us on this Westworld journey?

Things are really picking up steam in this weeks episode! We get the biggest surprise reveal of the entire season and with it brings new questions and possibilities! Bernard is playing the latest in VR, MIB and daughter have a real heart to heart with bean man, and Dolores has a brand new Teddy. 

The timeline may be a bit confusing, but we always have fun with it!

Sorry for the late episode! Someone forgot their audio. Anyway, this weeks episode takes us to Shogun world and we get to meet a bunch of familiar characters with new faces. The pieces are beginning to fall into place and how we get to robot soup is still quite the mystery. 

Maeve is picking up some strays and on the other side of the park Dolores is teaching Teddy how to be a man. I personally think we needed a bit more time with the shoguns, but it still sets up a bunch of fun possibilities!

This episode was my personal favorite of the season so far. We delved deeper into the mystery of season 2 and we learn more about a certain character from last week. Also, an old favorite from season 1 is back and that's fresh as hell. 

This week on the hosts, we have a groundhog's day situation in a fishbowl, we teach Michael DiMauro about masterbating, and we reunite with an old friend.

This weeks episode is back to form, bloody crazy form. We get at Raj world, a park set in 1920's -ish india. We learn how that tiger got drowned, Maeve meets a new friend, and Bernard is leaking again. 

Overall this was a positive episode with some interesting looks into the wider park as a whole.

This weeks episode was a bit divisive amongst the group. We retread a lot of the same ground in this episode and got to see some fun flash backs. We got to see how Delos got started with west world and a little bit more of the man in blacks journey on this new game. 

The episode was all over the place, but we managed to keep it on track and not talk about relationships with real dolls at all. Nope we sure didn't do that, because we are professionals.

It's been too long since we've had our good pal HBO back in our lives. The premier of Westworld came back with a bang. This season is not playing around and it gives us one hell of an opener. Bernard is the new Dolores and the man in black finally has the messed up life or death game he's been dreaming of. 

Come along with us as we unpack all the craziness in store for us this season.

Sadly Game of Thrones did not qualify for this year's Emmy Awards, but that's ok! It just barely made it in time for the GOTYE's, the Game of Thrones Year Endie Awards! We break down all the best moments and characters from season 7! It was quite a year, and this is the perfect wrap up!

It's a sad day here in Westeros. We all have to pack up our armies for the season and put things on pause till next season when all our friends come back to school. Another season of Game of Thrones in the bag. We got a ton of reveals in this episode including, Jon's real name, who loves Brienne the most, Dany's favorite butt, and so much more. This was an incredibly fun season of Game of Thrones, and we can't wait to wrap this thing up next year! or 2019 :'(

Check out the Game of Thrones Charity PodPack where we predict everything that will happen in Game of Thrones! We recorded this before watching episode 6 so we were way off! It was a lot of fun. This will only be available until the last week of September, so run, don't walk, to download the PodPack today!

The most divisive episode of Game of Thrones  is here! We were iffy on how this little plan of Jon Snow's would pan out and I think we were mostly right about that. We also hoped that Arya would be smart enough to see past Littlefinger's ploys but sadly we were disappointed. All in all, a head scratcher of an episode, but it could all be a ruse. We'll find out for sure, next week on the finale!

This weeks episode brings us back from the chaos of dragon killing and gives book readers tons of winks and nods. We cannot begin to tell you how excited we are to confirm that the show runners love memes. Gendry is no longer rowing, Arya is getting hoodwinked by littlefinger, Dany is more like her father, and Jon has a stupid plan.

This season is almost over, and that makes us incredibly sad. Thanks for going on this journey with us.

Wow. Are you kidding me HBO? This episode was bananas. And I'm not talking Gwen Stefani Bananas, I mean legit crazy. This episode had so many fantasies of ours that we never thought we'd see. Arya was reunited with Sansa and Bran, Jon Snow is totally flirting hard with Danny, Davos has picked up Stannis's humor, and Danny gets sweet sweet revenge on the Lannisters. It's done, I don't think you can top this HBO, just quit now.

This weeks episode brought some divisive opinions among our esteemed cast of podcasters. We had an exciting episode with some controversial points from D and D. We get the reunion of some Stark children, the meeting of fire and ice, Cersei and Jamie are back together, and the Lannister plan is starting to make sense. 

Overall another strong episode in this short season that only makes us wish we had more time to spend with our best friends in Westeros.

Note: We recorded this episode live after working non stop on Geeklycon to get this to you as soon as possible. We did the best we could with the audio. Thank you for understanding.

This weeks episode was a doozy, there are tons of moving pieces here and things are already starting to move fast. Danny lays out her plans with a female council, Harry meets up with Hot Pie, Theon and Yara have a bad time, and Jon Snow leaves the north after ruling for exactly one day.

Thank you to everyone at GeeklyCon who came out to watch this episode live with us. There's truly nothing else like watching Game of Thrones with 200 of your closest friends.

Another year, another season of Game of Thrones. The wait this year was extra long, but it only made that opening scene extra sweet. The sweet sweet taste of Arbor Gold. Arbor Gold, the best wine for revenge. Each season of Game of Thrones opens by setting the scene for the new season and checks in on the states of our heroes. This year is no exception, but we got a huge dump of information and all indications are things will get crazy, fast.

We talk about montages, revenge, fire boys, and so much more in this episode. Thanks for listening!

We are back! In this episode we are talking about the latest spin off story from G.R.R.M The Rogue Prince. This short novella tells us what happened in the years leading up to the arguably more exciting The Princess and the Queen. Obviously there will be spoilers for this story, but honestly, I wouldn't worry about it! We do a better job of explaining anyway!

It's finally time for Wine, Women & Westeros 6, Part 2: 2 Queen 2 Furious! You may have noticed that there was quite a break in between Part 1 and Part 2…you may have also noticed that there is occasionally a bit of an echo in the audio…oddly enough, these things are related! I like to carry on the fine tradition of screwing up our audio every time we record one of these dang episodes, just to keep you all on your toes. I hope the wait just makes the very relevant Shrek the Third references contained within even sweeter to your thirsty ears.

Also! This episode was recorded before the election…we were such sweet summer children then.

What do we have here?? By golly it's a brand new podcast. The Cast of Thrones crew has found a new obsession that we think you're going to love. Westworld is a new HBO show where robots allow rich jerks to play out there every fantasy in horrific ways. I'm sure no one will get hurt with that premise!

We break down the first episode for you and hope you’ll stick with us throughout the season. Be sure to subscribe to the new feed if you like the episode. Also, why not help this new show out with a review on iTunes!

The white raven has finally come and with it, the winds of winter have arrived. With this episode, HBO has ruined the SEO for the next book forever, but they've also managed one of the best episodes of their run.

We all predicted what Cersei's plan was, but the way the show handled it was a masters class in film making. Arya's triumphant return to Westeros had us out of our chairs screaming and Jon Snow finally has a mom…well Bran knows who is mom is.

This was an excellent capstone to an incredible season and closed the arcs we've been working on for so long. Thank you all for taking the ride with us. Keep riding that donkey, until next season.

I really want to call this the greatest episode in Game of Thrones history, and for some that is completely the case. Watching this episode in basically a theater with 60 of your best friends was an experience that can't be replicated.

We had so much pay off this week its crazy and out of character for Game of Thrones. Dany finally comes into her own and we have an amazing stand off with the slave masters. Jon and Sansa finally kill the crap out of Ramsey, whats not to love.

And then there is the production quality. And the cinematography, the best they've ever done. The battle is frantic and beautiful. I forgot I was watching TV. Yes, we nitpick some of the writing and poor decisions of the characters, but it was an amazing ride.

This is the true story, of four people, picked to live in a house, and record a podcast. This weeks episode finds our heroes co located and recording in the tower of joy. We had some incredible moments this week including full on axe murdering hound, Arya remembers her name, Cersei is screwed (not in a good way), and poor blackfish.

We only have two episodes left and its going to be very exciting.

This has to be one of the best episodes so far. It may not be the most exciting episode, but every segment this weeks was incredibly solid and they took the time to let the scenes breathe. This episode was the calm before the storm and the end is coming, and it will be glorious. Jamie is back on track with book Jamie, Cersei is getting all kinds of burns, Margery isn't just a puppet. John and Sansa are working together and little lady Mormont is adorable. And finally, Arya, she had a very short but exciting ark this week. Our prayers are with you fictional character.

Game of Thrones continues to delight in season 6's whirlwind of surprises. We got a lot of interesting developments this week including the reveal of a long awaited character with very frosty paws. We also get to see Sam man up a bit to his real jerk of a father. Also, it looks like Danny may finally be doing something with her plot line! She has all the pieces and place and her world and Westeros could collide in spectacular fashion.

And lets not forget Arya, she is leaving the faith and finding her roots again, and we couldn't be happier.

This episode really threw us all for a loop. We got a ton of little exposistion moving each character forward a tiny bit. And then we have Bran, Meera, and Hodor and boy howdy did you all have some opinions about that.

Some are calling this the first major spoiler for the book readers. Most people called the Jon thing from 3 years ago, but this was unexpected. We delve deep into that and everything else that happened in this episode!

HBO continues its breakneck speed through the world of Westeros as we move the overall story forward by leaps and bounds! This weeks episode had so much stuff setting up the future of Game of Thrones. Danny has a new legion of worshipers, Theon made it home, Sansa and Jon reunite, and Brienne has a new love interest!

There was so much to discuss and breakdown in this episode and I think we uncovered it all, so give it a listen.

Oh HBO, you are such a tease! This week, got mere feet away from the biggest mystery in all of Game of Thrones, only to be whisked away by Bran's tree daddy. That being said, we still had some fun moments this week. We got to see groggy Jon Snow take vegence on those that wronged him, Dany kept up her streak of not much going on, and we got to see what Sam and Gilly were up to. Spoiler, vomiting into buckets. Also what is any episode 3 without a good old blind fighting montage.

If it wasn't for Rickon's scene this would've been a great episode, RIP lil pup.

This was an episode of Game of Thrones alright. This is probably the most surprising episode of any season so far. We had so much movement in plot lines that have been dragging on for years now. We take a chance on Jon Snow, Ramsey congratulates his dad on making a  better heir, Brienne tells Sansa all about Arya, and Tyrion makes a really dumb decision that works out ok.

I don't know about you all, but if the rest of the season is like this, I may need heart pills.

Season 6 is here and all our questions will be answered! Well, maybe not yet, but its a promising start and it sets up tons of great story lines for this season. This was a pretty standard episode 1 for Game of Thrones, as we get to check in on everyone to see how there summer was.

We check in on Dany, Arya, Sansa, and sleepy boy Jon Snow. We recorded this episode in Boston, in a secret bunker so our audio is a little echo-ie, but we have special surprise guest! Greg Tito from Wizards of the Coast stopped by to chat about the show, and it was a great time. Give it a listen!

This week we catch up with Cersie in her gaol for the first time in A Dance with Dragons. This confused us for about 5 minutes, but I have cut that out… It gets a bit confusing when you read the books in chronological order. We also have a new perspective, old Barry Barristan is roaming around without Dany. Vicatrion is out to see and he's a big ole dummy. Tyrion starts to get his mojo back and Jon Snow has lots of ominous foreshadowing that I'm sure will amount to nothing!

We are getting to the good part of A Dance with Dragons! It's about damn time. So much good stuff happens on this weeks episode, including a return of the ice discussion. How can Danny eat them frozen treats in the middle of the damn dessert!

We also get a glimpse at Jon Snow's plans and Theon is roped into an Oceans 11 style heist for the ages. We are on the final stretch people, and season 6 can't come soon enough.

As we are less than 50 days away from the new season we've taken a hard look at the schedule and decided to try our best to finish the book club before the next season begins. From that point on, its all new Game of Thrones goodness.

This week though, we take a journey down with sweet Robyn, deal with the aristocrats with Jon, and deal with some BS with Jaime. Also this week, Cersie's house of cards finally crumbles in the most spectacular way. And is this the end for Brienne!? You'll have to tune in to find out.

I'm just going to say it…this episode gets a bit out of hand. In what can only be described as a momentary lapse in sanity, this episode really goes places. Anyway…this week we check in at the wall, go on a short cruise with Tyrion, find out what really happened to Asha after her ambush, and get real with Dany's ummm passion side. Nope still sounds gross, I tried to save it.

This my friends, was a fun episode to make. We have the very last Bran chapter in existence and thats a bit sad, because its so early in the book, but that brings with it some amazing revelations. Theon has to pretend to be something he's not, he'll always be our Reek, because it rhymes with creek. Daenerys gets freak on, and we check in Jon. All in all, a great set of chapters.

You know its a good week when we get to spend two whole chapters with our favorite character, the lovely Cersei. She's a real peach, but seriously, we do get to spend some time with Brienne, which is always nice, Jaime shows his Tywin side, and we get to see the repercussions of Arianne's little escapade.

This is a great set of chapters. We get a lot of action in these…if you know what I mean. Tyrion and Penny bond on the boat, Cersei has a super great meeting, and Sam finally gets married. We had a lot of fun recording this episode, and Tim and Jennifer called me the antichrist so you know its a good time!

Wow, so in the beginning of this episode I said, “putting this up on saturdays means it won't be late anymore.” Well, things happen! But this is a good episode and I'm glad you're tuning in anyway! We talk about all the hip things going down in Westeros such as: how to make ham, Asha's sex life, and how Jaime has really redeemed himself. So come join this less thrifty episode of the podcast.

This is it, the penultimate episode in the telltale series, and things are finally getting good. We have some truly harsh decisions to make in this episode. With wild man, Thrifty Nerd DiMauro back in the mix, we get to see some altering view points as well. Prepare the tissues, this one gets a bit sad.

It's been awhile since we last visited the digital Game of Thrones realm. We had a 10+ week detour through season 5 of the show, but we are back on track. Come with us if you will, as we go through the slowest episode in the video game series so far. Don't worry, we try to make our talk about it more fun than the episode!

Well, we got another extremely depressing episode of Game of Thrones and clearly winter has come. Stannis is not doing so well, trudging through the snow and needs to take some extreme measures, Danny learns how to train her dragon, and Arya finds a new target for her wrath. The Dance of Dragons had some truly epic moments, and we can't wait to see how this all wraps up next week.

We can all agree that King's Landing could up its morality game. Luckily, the good word of the Seven is being spread around by a plucky new troop of fellas known at the Sparrows, and boy do they enjoy handing out the justice. Whether you enjoy a little buggery or make a few spare stags working as a sexed up version of the Crone, you better watch your ass.

I'm sad to report that this will be the final book club…for the next 10-12 weeks…until we return with the conclusion to this book club after the new season! This week, is it the end of Tyrion? Has Cersei made a poor choice for her council? What has Davos gotten himself into this time? Who's this mysterious Victarion? And finally, the kings moot with Aeron!?

If we had to plan to end the book club on a set of chapters, these would be a pretty good choice. Enjoy!

Winterfellas, do we have an exciting announcement for you. We are finally offering up the chance for you to support us through Patreon!

You chucklef***s don't need my hard earned dragons.” First off, watch your language this is a family oriented site, second off, we are offering new and exclusive gifts for your support.

Believe it or not, Cast of Thrones is a lot of work to create. Not only is it a big time commitment that weighs on our families, there is a lot of behind the scenes prep work that goes into it. This Patreon is going to make that burden easier, while also giving us the chance to create more fun content.

Using Patreon, we'll be able to manage our donations and provide you with exclusive bonus content. We already have a couple of extremely awesome bonus episodes from our previous campaign for you, and for the first time ever, we are releasing our show notes. All the “in” jokes that don't make sense finally will!

There are several tiers for you to choose from. We understand that not everyone has the ability to donate $10 a month, but every little bit helps. And if you can't donate anything, nothing about the show will change. You'll still get the same great content you've grown to tolerate. In fact, we truly believe the show will be better because of the Patreon campaign.

We can't thank everyone enough for supporting the show. We started this 5 years ago and its spawned GeeklyInc, Drunks and Dragons and this wonderful community.

Keep riding that donkey…to our Patreon

We are back with another new episode! The one you've been waiting for too. In this weeks episode we take a look at the second episode in the Telltale Game of Thrones Game: The Lost Lords. This episode see's the fallout from episode 1's shocking conclusion playout, and we start to get a sense for how the rest of the series will go.

There are a few surprises along the way, and we decide that Thrifty will hence forth be “the evil one.”

If you're not familiar with Telltale, they make interactive stories that thread the needle between game and movie. Join us as we walk through our choices and give our impressions of the first episode. Obviously, if you don't want the game spoiled, take a couple of hours and complete it first.

Update: There was a sync issue at the 1:04 mark. Please re download! Thank you!

In this episode we take a detour from A Dance with Dragons to focus on a Feast for Crows. Arguably the best book in the series according to the internets Tim Lanning. We talk roads, foods, politics, animal migration patterns in a world with sporadic seasons, and much much more that we actually talk about, because we don't actually talk about the things I wrote here.

Enjoy!

We are back! Welcome back loyal Cast of Thrones fans. Thank you for sticking with us as we took some time off during the summer to recoup and spend some intimate alone time with the Ice and Fire books.

For this book club we are doing something fun. We are doing the mega Feast Dance combo read. Thats right, we are putting the chapters in chronological order and reading them together. Read one word from Feast, then the next from Dance. No, not really. If you're unfamiliar, well this episode explains what we are doing, but the gist is the books overlap in the timeline. The reading order we are using can be found on Boiled Leather.

It's an extremely interesting way to look at the books and brings new light to a lot of events. In this episode we cover ADWD Prologue and AFFC up to chapter 3.

Hello beautiful Winterboos! After much weeping and gnashing of teeth and technical difficulties, we finally come to you with our fifth installment of Wine, Women and Westeros, a special edition of Cast of Thrones where Jennifer and her ladybuds Annie and Betsy discuss gender issues in Game of Thrones! No, not even the loss of an entire episode of audio, which I can only assume was a direct assault from The Patriarchy itself, could keep us from delivering this podcast into your earholes. So kick back with your favorite wine (or beer??) and listen as Betsy uses fruity metaphors for genitals, Jennifer vibes with anime, and Annie learns a fresh new cuss.

Another year, another season of Game of Thrones on the books. We take some time out of our busy schedules to discuss the finale of season 4. We get a lot of great scenes in this episode including the ultimate fan fic of Brienne vs The Hound, an epic battle beyond the wall, and a look at the tree people with Bran and co. This episode and season had some controversy with book readers, but we are sad to see you go. We'll miss you forever Game of Thrones, xoxo.

We locked the donkeys away for this episode as their services weren't required. This episode remained firmly planted at the wall as we get to witness a 4 year long build up to one of the biggest battles in Game of Thrones history. We discuss Samwell's new found confidence with the ladies, Ygritte's hesitation, and little cabbage boys ruining true love. There's only one episode left, so please join us in this penultimate discussion.

Plese excus any typos as i'm typin this with my eys closed because i can never open them agn after what we just witnessed.

In the most blatant display of, this is F***** HBO yet, we get the most brutal episode of Game of Thrones so far. From killing ladies of the night, to killing snakes in the streets it was an all out battle pushing the limits of what you can legally do on tv.

We do take some time away from the gore to discuss Danny's latest predicaments, and another sad case of missed connections with Arya. So buckle in Winterfellas, this gets rough.

Boy howdy do we have a good un for you today. This weeks episode includes some of the most memorable scenes from all of ice and fire. Dany uses her queenly powers to get what she wants, Tyrion has some powerful heart to hearts in the black cells,  and Sansa finds out what happens when a body hits the ground from several hundred feet. This is the feel good episode of the summer, so kick back and enjoy our ramblings.

“I wish I was the monster you all think I am” is usually the line the Cast of Thrones crew uses when we are kicked out of an all you can eat Chinese buffet, but it is nice to see it to use in our favorite show. Things sure do get tense for ol' Tyrion but I have a feeling that he will be alright. That wit of his has saved him before!

In a very “this didn't happen in the books” episode of Game of Thrones some wonderful bits of information was shared about the world of Westeros. Well, namely the answer to “Who killed Jon Arryn?” was answered, but it is such a bombshell that it is sure to cause many a watcher to spit their Arbor Gold 3 feet out of their mouths. We of course get to delve into the fun added scene north of the Wall which is a special treat since it all new for the TV show. Nice change of pace, if I say so myself.

Hello Winterfellas! We are treated to some harsh realities on this week's episode of Game of Thrones. If no one thinks of the little babies in this Gods forsaken world, who will? Both Grey Worm and Missandei tell sad stories about being sad babies. Also, another sad baby gets taken and drafted into a very secretive order. Very exclusive. Very posh. I would say that they were cool. Another harsh reality we learned last night we actually decided to unlearn. So now I don't remember what it is due to selective memory and light surgery. We mention it on the podcast, I am told, so have no fear.

Hello there, Winterfellas, it's time to discuss Season 4, Episode 3, “Breaker of Chains”! The format of this week's episode will be a little different to accommodate an in-depth discussion of the controversial scene that nearly broke the internet (and also Jennifer's fingers from extreme tweet-yelling). After this very serious discussion, we get right back to our usual antics, i.e. talking about butts and prosthetic genitalia. As always, we include a spoiler section at the end after the music, so stick around if you want to hear a crackpot theory from our very own Michael DiMauro!

A fine hello to the wonderful people from Westeros all the way to Essos. Even Sothoryos must feel like the air is sweeter. I know that I feel like a great weight has been lifted from my shoulders. Yes, that major character death was a long time coming, but it is finally here! Rejoice my friends! Now there are only 87 horrible murderous characters that need to be murdered for Game of Thrones to be considered “A somewhat survivable country.” Yes, that is hope in the air that we are all tasting. Long live the King!

And we are back! The new season of Game of Thrones has begun and we get right back into our old groove of donkey jokes and wild tangents. If you've been away from the show during the off season, welcome back. In this fine episode we cover the intricacies of making valerian steel swords, what kind of prostitute Shae is, and trouble in incest paradise. If you're a fan of the spoilers, stick around at the end for some of our thoughts on whats to come on this season of Game of Thrones. If the first episode is any indication, its going to be a good one.

It is with heavy hearts and tear filled eyes that we now wrap our Clash of Kings book club. *turns on graduation by Vitamin C* It seems like just yesterday we were hanging out with Robb Stark laughing about how illegitimate Jon Snow was. But now we are through with the third book of the A Song of Ice and Fire series. Some say that this was the best book in the series to date. Well, I can definitely agree that it ends with a big bang. We learn so much about Westeros but also ourselves. What is Littlefinger's deal? Hate that guy.

Well, Winterfellas, it looks like this Storm of Swords train is slowing down. In our penultimate episode of the Storm of Swords book club, we get to spend some time with our favorite Crows, see a bar brawl, and get an inside look at the special dysfunctions of the Lannister family. Westeros is a wild world, baby. As we've mentioned before, these chapters are firmly in the “not yet featured on HBO” section of Storm of Swords, so if you want to avoid spoilers I would save this episode for after season 4 airs!

In an already action packed book, we have reached the number one chapter in our Storm of Swords book club. Most of our characters are in strange and dangerous places. Who knows what will happen to Jon or Tyrion? Will they finally get the big break they have been waiting for? If I know anything about G.R.R. Martin, I would say “yes!”

Hello, dear listeners! We interrupt your regularly scheduled Storm of Swords book club to bring you a discussion on George R.R. Martin's most recent Westeros-based novella, “The Princess and the Queen,” one of many excellent stories in the Dangerous Women anthology.  Do you want to hear about Targaryens fighting on dragons for the right to the Iron Throne? Did I mention the dragons? For real, one of them is even named Cannibal. You know you want in on this dragon action.

As mentioned in the podcast, we have included some helpful links to help you untangle all those dang Targaryens and their dragons. Seriously, why are there so many Aegons?

Karma sure is a fickle beast, huh? In this episode of Cast of Thrones we run through some wonderful karma that I am sure everyone has been waiting for. It warms my heart to know that bad things happen to bad people in Game of Thrones. Brings a nice smile to my face.

Be sure to throw an iTunes review out way. It helps us stay strong and healthy.

Hello winterfellas! We have now entered the “this has not happens in the show yet” stage of our book club. So choose for yourself and your family how to proceed. I wish you the best of luck with this lofty decision. But let me tell you, there are some wonderfully juicy bits to be found within these chapters!

It is hard to focus on all the other non-Red-Wedding things that happen in this somber episode of Cast of Thrones. Hey, we get it Jon Snow, you want some of that limelight for honoring your Knights Watch pals. But, quick question bub, did you get horrible murdered along with like…I don't know, 9 named characters? Granted you were shot by your love. That is a good story hook. Ok, you made it into the show text.

Things are getting so real in these dark chapters. We are about halfway through Storm of Swords, but heck, I feel like things are getting crazy. We of course start with a massive Dany chapter then end with Arya and the Hound crossing a river! Very exciting but we all know where this is headed. Makes me sad.

This is Cast of Thrones and you are listening to the podcast, Cast of Thrones! Now for this episode, which I am introing, we barrel ahead towards the eventual sad/ dark times. I wonder how you, the podcast listener and show watcher, are interpreting all these fun chapters knowing the outcome from the show. Or for those who have read the Storm of Swords in the past, I wonder if you are picking up on bad omens earlier. This are fun things to think about and I hope that you think them. We can all agree that it is nice that we don't have an arrow in our legs. Unless you are Jon Snow, in which case, I am sorry for the tasteless joke and would you like to guest on the show?

As promised the gang sat down with a bowl of brown and decided to run though our final spoiler filled thoughts on season 3 and what we hoped was in store for season 4. If you haven’t read the books you should probably not listen to this since we speak candidly about all the spoilers in all of the release books.

Thank you for listening! We have all sorts of fun stuff for the off season. If you have an idea for a neat little one off show just let us know and your wish may be our command!

And so ends our journey through season 3 of Game of Thrones. Its been an exciting season with many laughs and tears. With this final episode, we wrap up all the loose ends of the characters and prime them for next season. We find out who's been torturing Theon, Bran's fate, and the betrayle of John Snow. We also get an obligitory look at Dany and her team of action heros and get to see a more awesome Arya.

Overall its a bittersweet goodbye, as we hate to see it end. As this season ends and the “Off season” starts up again our watch over the Game of Thronedom begins.

How is this season almost over already? It seems like just yesterday that our Dany was getting married to Drogo. Where does the time go? Now she has a former slave army that is feared all over the world and can match wits with ruthless mercenary captains. I am so proud.

Please, if you have time, hop on over to iTunes to leave us a review. Even better, when you are out and about with your pals talking about how awesome the most recent episode of Game of Thrones was go ahead and tell them about our little show. They will thank you and so will we!

After several amazing episodes this season episode 7 was a bit of a letdown. Not in the sense that it was a waste of an hour or what have you, dear listeners. Every season needs an episode that feels like its only job to prepare the audience for the finale, and The Bear and the Maiden Fair set us up nicely. Yes, positivity is needed after a meandering George R.R. Martin penned episode that focused on the many relationships of Westeros. Also, super awesome dragons.

Thank you for 1) all your fine reviews on iTunes. I don’t know the math/ science about how everything works on that site but reviews are super helpful. 2) Sending us a heap of emails and tweets. You are a real great community!

This week Game of Thrones decided to take a relaxing break from all the dragon city burning, hand chopping madness from the previous episodes. Instead they focused on the darker themes like “Your life will never get better, Sansa.” And “There are no happy endings, everyone.” While The Climb was one of the more difficult episodes to watch the Cast of Thrones gang tried to bring some levity and hopefully make a few smiles along the way.

Let me take a brief moment to thank all of you for reviewing us on iTunes and telling your friends about the show. We have a nice little community built up that makes doing the show much easier to record every week. It honestly feels like we are getting together to talk about Game of Thrones with our friends so that our other friends can listen and offer their own thoughts. So keep up the awesome job!

Well consider me kissed by fire because my face is all red from another great episode! Season 3 has really been a blast to watch it seems to found its pace with this week’s episode. Listen as we try to make sense of all the plots and intrigues found throughout King’s Landing and beyond. Stay tuned after the music break for our spoiler section including our crackpot theory of the week, which focuses on Patchface. We end this episode with a classy discussion about butts which we cut out from the beginning because it was really, really stupid.

Head on over to Castofthrones.com to join in the fun and discussion and maybe even make a new friend. Or leave a review over on the iTunes! Whatever you want is fine with us. We are supportive.

When I was a young man I often dreamed of revenge. After watching this weeks episode of Game of Thrones I now realize that I had no idea how to properly act on my vengeance. Granted, playground insults do not compare with becoming a eunuch or trying to take your baby dragon, but a part of me felt satisfied in their victories. Listen as we discuss all the ins and outs of this terrific episode!

If you get captured by a group of outlaw soldiers wouldn’t you want us to defend you? The best way to do that is to leave us a review on iTunes! In all seriousness, it helps out a whole lot and makes it easier for other fans to find us. We thank you already.

We are back in the saddle, ready to flee with a brand new episode to discuss. This week was of the best episodes of the show so far. We had tons of great comedic moments with Tyrion and the small council, Tyrion and little finger, and lets not forget: Tyrion and Pod! We also take time out of our busy schedules to learn you something about giving birth in the wild, buying soldiers, and when's the right time to stop pushing your luck.

Thank you so much for your continued support. We appreciate all the reviews, tweets, and recommendations to your friends, so keep them coming!

After another fantastic episode of Game of Thrones the gang gets back together to discuss the ins and outs and hopefully clarify a few things. We are happy to welcome the eclectic Thoros of Myr and the worlds greatest grandma, Lady Olenna aka the Queen of Thorns. We get all hopped on the creep vibes from Joffrey and wonder just what Tyrion was up to in this episode.

As always don’t be a Karstark, go ahead and spread your love for Cast of Thrones on the internet. We aren’t just asking to feel happy about ourselves, no we just want to make others happy with out podcasting words. Thanks!

Hello, you beautiful, smart, well-mannered, excellent Winterpeeps. It's been a long time, but now we're back. Oh, who is “we,” you ask? Why that would be Jennifer, Betsy and Annie with our 4th edition of Wine, Women and Westeros! For those of you who have not had the pleasure of listening to our podcastly bacchanal, WWW is a special, ladycentric offshoot of Cast of Thrones! It is a podcast in that we talk into microphones and put it into your earholes via internet, and it is a bacchanal in that we get wine drunk while doing so. It's a rip roaring all around good time, girlfriend!

Most importantly, did you know that this episode is brought to you by Taylor Swift, the manic pixie dream bard of our age? Taylor Swift has feelings about how women interact with each other, and gosh darnit, we do too! So if you'd like to know what we think about the friendships, enmities, and frenmities (TM) amongst the women of Game of Thrones, go ahead and give us a download!

As always, your feedback is important to us. We crave it like chicken nuggets after a night of too much wine. So head on over to iTunes and give us a review! *air kisses*

A dust settles on the battlefield. A group of haggard warriors lift off their headphones knowing that their victory over the Clash of Kings book club was complete. After weeks, and months of entrenching themselves within the meaty book they could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Jon was with the Wildings. Bran was alive and well, same with Tyrion. Things ended just as they were foretold.

You know that Game of Thrones will appear on TV soon right? All new episodes will start airing on HBO starting 3/31. Tell your friends and enemies about our podcast because I have a feeling that things may get a little confusing going forward.

This is the second to last episode of our critically acclaimed “Clash of Kings Book club – Presented by Cast of Thrones.” This means that we will be getting much more closure from a chapter of Game of Thrones than we are used to. We may end up with several more questions at the end of the day, but by golly we learn something about this wonderful world at every turn.

Thank you very much for all of your wonderful reviews. These are the things that we use to keep the government from our taxes. Yes, your iTunes reviews allow us to commit most forms of petty tax fraud! So help keep Johnny law off our back and head on over to iTunes and spin us a tale!

It hard to believe that we are so close to the end of A Clash of Kings but here were are in the midst of fire-murder. Oh boy, the pyrophiliacs out there are likely to split their gourds after listening to this truly special episode of Cast of Thrones. Stannis and Tyrion clash on the Blackwater for the battle to see who will finally control King’s Landing. Davos is our firsthand account of the hellish seascape that greets both the attackers and defenders of this historic battle. Plus Sansa kisses a sword in what was voted “worst chapter if the book.”

We love the reviews and tweets you send our way almost as much as the Hound hates fire. So help keep our un-scarred faces a-smiling by connecting with us however your heart desires on the social media sphere. I know you will love it.

As you feel the ice dig into your palms you wonder “There has to be a better way to be transported to the world of Game of Thrones!” A rude hawk circles your head turning your bowls to icy jelly. As the beast swoops in low you notice he is wearing Beats by Dre and listening to a podcast loudly. You curse your un-taloned feet and shake your fists up to heaven. As you fall you realize it was just a dream and that your dream came true because another thrilling episode of Cast of Thrones is now on your very own podcast library. Plus you are alive.

Thank you so much for your emails, especially the ones about horses, and your reviews! Thanks for being the best GoT podcast community this side of the Asshai.

Hello and welcome to Cast of Thrones! We sincerely hope that our new schedule is more to your liking. This week we cover some of the best chapters in A Clash of Kings. If you have read the books we go through a bit of spoilery fun (at the very end after the song break) with Dany’s house of the undying vision. Also, we accidentally watched Bears playing ice hockey and were never the same again.

We are back winterfellas, with another rousing installement of our Clash of Kings book club. The response last week from the new format was great so we are continuing on. We are doing 5 chapters every two weeks, which should finish this up right before the new season. Plus, people loved the spoiler section at the end of the show. So stay tuned after the music if you're all caught up for some crazy spoiler talk.

On this weeks show some crazy crap happens in Kings Landing, we see Melisandre's lady parts, and we find out what happened to Varys' balls! It is a laugh riot this week, so gather the youngins, and enjoy the show!

Prepare yourself, dear listeners, for a slightly different approach to our Clash of Kings Book Club episodes. We felt like drilling down so deeply into each chapter worked really well for the more content-rich chapters, but not so much for the rest. So now we will approach each section as a buzzard approaches a dead raccoon – we will hover over the text and with our beaks and talons, ripping out the juicy morsels. And since the raccoon was outside in the hot sun we will now be touching on spoilers (but only in a specially designated spoiler zone)! So, we hope you enjoy this new format. It should make things both more interesting and easier to follow along with.

On this week’s Project Runway themed Clash of Kings book club the Cast of Thrones judges ask the tough questions. First up is Sansa stark wearing one of Joffrey’s favorite gowns. Wonderful material and the way it shines are stunning, but will it be enough, judges, to keep her from being beaten to death from by the King’s Guard? Tune in to find out! Next we have Renly Baratheon gearing up for a marvelous battle. His impressive frame is truly accentuated by his armor and stag horn theme. Will his gleaming armor be enough to banish the shadows?

Hey beautiful, don’t you want to leave a review for us on iTunes? It is the only way we know that people are listening and it is a great way to connect to yours truly. Thank you to everyone who has sent us nice emails or tweets this past week! You are the best!

Here's the episode you've all been waiting for, The Off Topic Special. We needed a break from all the killing and sadness happening in our ongoing book club, so we took this oppurtunity to do a show about whatever we wanted.

We answer your questions and to also talk about all the stuff going on in our lives that isn't Game of Thrones related. If you've been wondering what happens when 3/4's of the host are infatuated with Persona 4, or what we do in real life, you've come to the right place. So come on in and settle up for some nonsensical ramblings. Which I guess, makes it no different than any other episode.

On this week’s ultra-serious episode of Cast of Thrones we cover two depressing chapters in A Clash of Kings. The realm weeps for the tragedies inflicted upon its citizens. Arya Stark is in the bowels of darkness as she attempts to find her place within the blackened walls of Harrenhal. As a nobody that is mixed with high lords and knights, Arya is able to scurry about the castle like a mouse, collecting bits of information. But, is all of this information worth the mental scarring that it brings? Catelyn forsakes her bonds of motherhood and daughterhood to attempt to bring peace between the Baratheon brothers before more blood is shed in this war. Unfortunately, she is not successful and feels like a mother scolding troublesome toddlers. This foolishness will cost Westeros thousands of lives.

Thanks for being a part of our community! The number one rule of a community is that you need people to be a part of it, so if you were not here it wouldn’t exist. So give yourself a pat on the old back from the hosts of Cast of Thrones.

You find yourself in a misty wood. To your right is a group of young boys and girls playing with a wolf. To your left is a short man making the best of his situation. Straight ahead you see five smiling unblinking faces that want nothing more than to explain what is happening all around you. One lets you know that you are safe, another lets you know there is sex. Will you close your eyes and listen? I hope you do.

Thank you for taking a chance on our audio adventure where we dig into A Clash of Kings! And an extra special thank you to all those fine Winterfellas who left us a beautiful review on iTunes or across the web! We love you.

Hello dear listeners! Please gather around the warmth of your audio devices as we regale you with tales from both Westeros and Essos! Arya has managed to get herself stuck in a real pickle yet again. Will she be able to control her murder lust long enough to survive in Harrenhal? Will she find a better nickname than Weasel? Dany is having a great bit of luck herself when she finally arrives at Qarth. Being the mother of dragons appears to have its own set of perks, like a giant mansion and large numbers of foreigners almost worshiping you. Plus she finds out that King Robert Baratheon is dead and Westeros is in a giant civil war. This is all great news for our silver-haired, storm-born heroine!

Do you work for a large telecommunication company? Do you build/invent computers? Then we humbly ask you to subscribe to and review Cast of Thrones on iTunes! This is the way get to show our friends that we are cool and popular. And by friends I mean our parents and by showing them we are popular I mean earning their love.

We are back winterfellas! After the extensive #saveTimLanning campaign brought him back from the brink of southern living, we were able to record this excellent episode. In this adventure, our heroes discover that the secret to happiness was inside themselves the whole time. In the book however, Theon gets to second base (depending on the league you're playing in) and then gets the sickest of burns. Meanwhile in Kings Landing, Tyrion is up to his old tricks again. We see his master plan of screwing over Cersei come together in one intricately orchestrated swoop. Thank you for listening! And please remember to write a review so we can read it on the show!

Spice up your nights with this magic filled episode of Cast of Thrones. I know I often yearn to light the wildfire in my heart, and in this segment Tyrion gets to literally see his wildfire on display. Talk about magical. Meanwhile, young Bran is continuing his strange life as the Stark in Winterfell. After a long day of feasts and greeting pretty ladies, Bran has his own magical moment in his dreams. What could it all mean?

Reviews? You know we want them, but more importantly we want your love. So give us some love so that we can send you ours. It will be a magical moment for sure.

Get out your duck butter and smatter it on your shoes because it is time for another jam packed episode of Cast of Thrones. We had the joy of book clubbing both of the Stark girls this week and things are still, somehow, getting worse. Maybe there is some hope to be had for Sansa, but Arya is really in it.

Just give us a review. You know you want to be famous for being read live on air in front of dozens of people. If you give us a 5- star review on iTunes the world will never forget you name. That is the best news I have heard all week! Love you.

You have travelled through many strange lands and survived the red wastes and your reward is our delightful Clash of Kings Book Club episode! Remind yourself that everything works out for the best (eventually) as you read through Dany’s. Nothing really happens in Jon’s chapter so I guess be thankful things happen to you?

Our internet dragons only eat five star iTunes reviews and these dragons are hungry. We tried feeding them charred meat and they bit the tip off of Jennifer’s finger. We had a blast recording this episode on tinychat.com/castofthrones with a wonderful group of Winterfellas! Pay close attention to our twitter account, @castofthrones, for when we record.

Welcome aboard the Cast of Thrones pleasure cruise! We will be making brief stops along our Clash of Kings voyage at both the isles of Davos and Theon. Be amazed by the Red God’s strange practices and deep history at the isle of Davos. Also, be warned–the natives of Theon are not very friendly, so stay close to the longship!

Thank you so much for you continued support and kind words! I wish I had the time and energy to make all of you my salt wives. Please keep up the good fight by leaving us reviews on iTunes or telling your pals about our show.

Remember, we have interviews with cast members, several special themed episodes and book discussions for both “Game of Thrones” and “A Dance with Dragons” so check those out if you have not.

Do you like sweet corn? How about plushies that reference year-old memes? Well do I have a podcast for you! This week we cover the classic scene where Tyrion sends Janos Slynt off to the wall, and the very non-classic scene where some wolves watch Arya pee. I think you will be as riveted as we were.

Things are really cooling off in our Cast of Thrones: A Clash of Kings Book Club as we visit everyone’s favorite bastard, Jon Snow!  Even though things are cold at the Wall, we are warmed by tales of ancient Targaryens, so there is nothing to fear! We are also treated to a progress report about the war raging in the Riverlands from Catelyn. Things are going poorly, but I won’t spoil it here.

Thank you for listening and getting all of those really intense Cast of Thrones tattoos! It has helped our brand immeasurably. If you do not want to ink yourself to honor us then just leave an iTunes review or tell you friends!

Your Lords of the Crossing gathered again to chip away at George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire with our third Clash of Kings book club. Mayhaps you could listen as we cover not one, but TWO Stark children chapters! It was a great time and we know you will love it. Please continue to read along with us every week and mayhaps you could be the Lord of the Crossing one day too.

The Clash of Kings Book Club continues and includes such fan favorites as Sansa and Tyrion. Ok, maybe not everyone loves Sansa, but we can all agree Tyrion is pretty great. If you are one of those folks who doesn’t much care for Sansa then her chapter may help swing you to her side. Things are complicated in Westeros, so I think you should show some heart, ok? Also, we recorded this when Shark Week was all the rage and released it after Shark Week FYI.

Everyone’s favorite time of year has finally arrived! No, not Shark Week, the Cast of Thrones Book Club for Clash of Kings! This year we will be taking you, the listener, even deeper inside George R. R. Martin’s story since we will be covering less chapters per week. This allows us to focus on everything that may or may not be important! This week we read the Prologue and Arya I. We had a blast and I know you will too when you join the Cast of Thrones Book club!

Thank you for sending us your kindness beams in the form of iTunes reviews! We are not too sure how all the science works, but we are pretty sure more reviews for our humble podcasts is a good thing.

When your fiction is as deep as Ryan Gosling’s eyes, there are bound to be crazy theories floating around the web about it. Game of Thrones has had plenty of time to cultivate dozens of wild and improbable fan theories over the years and we decided to talk about a few of them on this week’s Cast of Thrones. Put on your tinfoil hats and strap yourself in as we discuss Jon Snow’s parents, secret Targaryens and whether or not everything is controlled by a group of Mermaids.

Have you gotten a chance to re-listen to some of our interviews with the cast of Game of Thrones? You should do that; they were a blast to record. Thanks again for allowing us to pipe heaping helpings of podcast into your ears. We would not be able to convince ourselves to keep recording without your generous love. Please continue to leave iTunes reviews and if you feel up to it let a friend or two know about us.

Don your battle corsets and prepare for our third installment of Wine, Women and Westeros, the show where Jennifer, Annie, and Betsy drink too much wine and analyze Game of Thrones grad school style. In this episode, we talk about the people and issues from Season 2 that were not recorded in the last WWW's recording snafu. We've got your Melisandre, your Margaery, and your amputation-loving Talisa. We also have a long, actually serious discussion about rape and how much it sucks to be a lady in Westeros. So….maybe you should wine it up before listening, too?

As always, thanks for listening and chatting with us via interwebs about Game of Thrones! If you have any additional thoughts on our episode, send us a shoutout on twitter @castofthrones. If you love us like Cersei loves wine, write a review on iTunes!

Hello, brave travelers! If you have reached this peak it means only one thing–you are a die-hard fan of Game of Thrones.

If you only watch the TV show you are a crazy person that needs their fill of knights and battles for the Iron Throne. We are so happy that you are here as we take this final journey to discuss The Mystery Knight! Dunk and Egg are up to their old tricks, so do yourself a favor and listen up.

The only thing keeping our realm safe from marauding Iron Born is your reviews on iTunes. For every review that is submitted we are able to fight off those kraken-sailed ships for another day.

Are you ready for the next wave of Dunk and Egg adventures! Since the last time we spoke with good ol' Dunk he had just won his trial by combat and everything was going fine! Now fast forward about a year and a half and we find our heroes serving for a landed knight named Ser Eustace Osgrey of Standfast. Westeros has suffered a terrible plague and is currently in a drought so tensions have been mounting between Ser Eustace and Lady Rohanne. It is sort of like Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing.

Thank you all for your continued support to us! Because of you we can still make these podcasts and not feel like we are screaming out of our bathroom windows facts about the Targaryens to the passing children. Your iTunes reviews help us survive in our podcaster only fight club, so please continue to help us or we will get punched to death by Marc Maron.

I can tell by that ravenous look in your eyes that you have sucked all the marrow out of George R. R. Martin’s Game of Thrones and you need a fix bad. Well, we have just the taste you are looking for! Did you know ol’ R. R. wrote a series of short stories about a hedge knight named Dunk set one hundred years before Game of Thrones? He did and they are great! Pull up your favorite easy chair and listen as we have a book club about the very first one, The Hedge Knight.

Since the show is in-between seasons right now it is a perfect time to tell your friends about our podcast so that they can get even more awesome Game of Thrones content! Nothing passes that wait til winter like listening to Cast of Thrones. It is known.

The hiatus between Seasons 2 and 3 of Game of Thrones is dark and full of tailor-made
Cast of Thrones episodes. This week we discuss Season 2 and we do not skimp on spoilers for the series. In the first part, Thrifty, Jennifer, Tim and Nick discuss how the “show version” could lead into Season 3 and we only include spoilers from books 1-3. In part 2 Nick signs off and we start talking about the entire series. Please do not listen if you have not read the books (also, go read the books)!

Thank you for downloading and continuing to leave us your wonderful reviews! Every morning at the Cast of Thrones Castle we all read the new reviews while we sip on our coffee. We don’t even put sugar in it since you all are so sweet. True story.

Hello, humans of all genderal and sexual persuasions, and welcome once again to Wine, Women and Westeros! Just like last year's episode, Wine, Women and Westeros is a very special lady podcast that focuses on the women of the Game of Thrones universe. In part one of this season's WWW, Jennifer and her friends Annie and Betsy drink wine and discuss the “queens” of A Clash of Kings. If you notice any strange reference to subjects we “already talked about,” but never actually mentioned, that may be due to a recording snafu in the first half of the ladycast. But never fear, dear listeners, the loss of our first hour of audio only means that we get to drink wine and talk Game of Thrones in another episode soon! So if there's a lady (or gentleman!) you want us to analyze Women's Studies style after consuming a large bottle of Rex Goliath, let us know in the comments!

As always, thank you for your comments, whether on the website, on iTunes, via email, or on Twitter. We love to hear from you!

We know what you are thinking, Season 2 is over and there is no Game of Thrones left to be had until next year. Well the cast of Cast of Thrones is here to tell you that you are dead wrong! Not only do we have the GOTYE (Game of Thrones Year Endie) Awards this week, but we have plans for every week of the off season!

Next week you can tune into a brand new Wine Women and Westeros, or even sit in on the recording on Tuesday, June 12 at 7:00 PM Eastern. Also coming in the off season will be the return of the book club. We will be covering Clash of Kings AND The Dunk and Egg trilogy (which is a Game of Thrones thing, we think).

Thank you again for your love and affection turned into tweets and iTunes reviews. It is literally the only thing that keeps us corporeal. Please keep them coming so that we don't wink out of existence!

With heavy hearts and hearty laughs we honored Game of Thrones’ season finale. Don’t be too sad, there will be much more Cast of Thrones to come during the hiatus. Never fear, loyal Winterfellas, between the seasons it is dark and full of terror but we are here to keep your path lit. Too many things happened in Valar Morghulis to mention here, but it succeeded as both an adaptation from the book and an engaging episode of television.

What’s that I see? A hoard of marauding undead soldiers? NO! It is the wonderful reviews you have heaped upon our undeserving heads. Thank you again for all of your kind words and well wishes. We create this show for you since it would be really weird if we just did it and never released it. But we would have quit a long time ago if not for you, our beautiful fans!

Gather around, all you half-men and half-women! We have a wonderful show for you this week on Cast of Thrones: The Game of Thrones podcast. What we lacked in donkeys we more than made up for in enthusiasm. The tensions that have been building up this season exploded into a bloody battle against the walls of King’s Landing. Fortunately, Tyrion has a few tricks up his sleeve to beat back that sinister Stannis. Cersei has a few tricks also, most of which involve getting wine drunk and scaring teenagers.

Your reviews keep pouring in and showering our parched hearts. We are so very thankful for all that you have done to keep the show raging on ahead. We have some really nifty things planned for the hiatus between season two and three, so stay tuned!

Hey all you crime stoppers, we have a murderer on the loose! Ser Jaime escaped from King Robb’s camp, some say with the help of Catelyn Stark and Brienne of Tarth! Jon Snow is going to need all our help escaping from the Lord of Bones beyond the wall, but maybe Cadet Crime Stoppers Grenn, Samwell, and Dolorous Edd’s secret package of dragon glass will help solve that mystery! Hark! More murder is afoot in Harrenhal, but it is the good type of murder after Arya gives her last name to Jaqen H’ghar, a girl used her noggin! Will that be enough to escape the treacherous black castle? Congratulations to Senior Detective Maester Luwin who solved the “why are that boy's burned legs so large?” mystery and found Bran and Rickon very much alive and unburnt! Dany still hasn’t found her dragons, despite all of the flyers she put up.

Your love is so wonderful, I think I may throw up! We thank you from the bottom of Mike Dao’s black heart for all of your wonderful reviews. It makes us so happy and keeps us from getting thrown into podcast jail. Want to keep sexy in the upcoming summer months? Then head on over to Castofthrones.com/store to outfit yourself like a true champion. Not only will you earn a unique piece of Game of Thrones clothing art, but you will also help support our ragtag show.

On a very special Mother’s Day episode of Game of Thrones we are shown many aspects of love. Since this is a dark world of death and pain, the love we see isn’t the type Hallmark wants us to buy into, no sir! Ygritte wants to show Jon Snow a very physical form of love that eventually gets Jon so sex-addled that he makes some mistakes. Arya’s love of mutton clouds her judgment to such an extent that Lord Tywin gets mighty suspicious. Cersei schools Sansa on why love is terrible just before she mentions to Tyrion that love made Joffrey evil. Dany loves her dragons so much that she may be walking right into a trap. Jamie Lannister loves making fun of both dead Ned and Brienne. Lastly, dear readers, Theon shows us what the love of power can bring – charred Stark Children. He is somehow even more terrible. I hate him so much.

I love you so much my Winterfellas! Thank you yet again for downloading, listening and spreading the good news that is the Cast of Thrones podcast. Without you we would be a bunch of crazy people on the street corner yelling about wildlings and dragons. That is a terrible thing to do.

Want to look even sexier? Then go ahead and treat yourself to a Cast of Thrones branded Game of Thrones shirt. Featuring the lovely and majestic Diredonkey. These shirts will make you the talk of the town/ coven. Find them at castofthrones.com/store.

Hello, and may the Seven watch over you! In this particularly brutal episode of Game of Thrones we learn a little bit about poor decision-making. Theon gets into a tight spot when he is forced to kick a man’s head off. Jon Snow also holds someone’s fate in his hands, but does not end up kicking anyone’s head off. Arya has to make a snap decision to choose her second of three deaths due to some poor decisions, and Joffrey pulls a “Joffrey,” inciting a riot in King’s Landing that goes horribly. Robb hasn’t made any bad decisions yet, but I got my eyes on him. Dany, on the other hand, chooses to rely on dreams as opposed to logic and finds her dragons stolen.

Your iTunes reviews, tweets and general awesome/ kind words are much appreciated in Castle Cast of Thrones. It can get cold but your reviews are as warm as a butt wiggle to our hearts. Please keep up the awesome job. After much demanding and riots our T-Shirts are back on sale! Head on over to castofthrones.com/store to claim yours today!

Hello monster hunters, we have a ghost on the loose in these here halls of Harrenhal! Heck, I even heard a rumor of a shadow baby down near Storm's End that dang near killed Renly Baratheon. Strange times indeed, what with Catelyn Stark and Brienne of Tarth joining forces and the Night’s Watch ranging beyond the wall hunting for wights. Phooey! Even King's Landing speaks of a demon monkey, but I bet that is just the fools talking about Tyrion Lannister and his magic fire, but you didn’t hear that from me! Qarth reports sightings of dragons, but you can’t trust no one from Essos. Besides, we have our own ghosts here in Harrenhal, what with the Tickler dying like he did. Life sure is peculiar as of late.

Thank you for your beautiful downloads and reviews! Every ounce of review we get wards off a demon monkey from our homes for an hour. Please help us protect our families by leaving a review on iTunes. Also, our shirts that are guaranteed to keep grumkins at bay are back in stock. In lady sizes even! So gird yourself with pure Winterfella pride and boldly go out into the night.

Don’t be shy, come on up to the Cast of Thrones podcast! No dragons required for admission to this fun house of hilarity and Game of Thrones based puns. Sit back and experience the sights and sounds of a battlefield after a Stark army has surprise attacked a Lannister Camp. To your left you will see an evil little man fight with an honorable little man in the bustling city of Kings Landing, no pictures please. Perhaps the beauty of Qarth or the melted spires of Harenhal are more your cup of tea, we have those in spades. But beware, the Cast of Thrones is dark and full of shadow baby terrors as we reach Renly’s Camp. You’ve been warned.

What do we expect as payment for this voyage through fantastic and mystical lands you ask? Simple, we only ask for a review on iTunes or a tweet on twitter. You won’t find a better bargain this side of the Shadow Lands beyond Asshai!

This week's episode of Game of Thrones veers further from the source material than ever before, and yet it is our favorite of the season. The celluloid version fills in many of the blanks that just weren't possible to see in the character view points of the paper version.

The Cast of Thrones hosts also veer far and wide from the source material, and common sense. They discuss what is really incest? How far did Theon go down Yara's pants? Does Brienne have a feminine walk and is she related to Hodor?

Thank you again for all your love and support!

For the first time ever, the entire Cast of Thrones crew was able to record in the same room! In this episode we get to see a lot more of Arya, and a hell of a lot more of Theon. Pyke is finally introduced and we discuss there strange ways. To top it off, we finally get to see the fan favorites Hot Pie and Jaqen H'ghar.

Thank you so much for listening to us week in and week out, we really do appreciate it. So grab some fish pie and settle in for some brotherly love.

It is with the upmost excitement and glee that I welcome you back to Cast of Thrones: The Game of Thrones Podcast. We were never truly gone, but now that the show has started back up we will ride our flaming Diredonkeys into your ears doing what we do best – discussing this week's episode of Game of Thrones.

This was a wonderful whirlwind of a podcast. So much happened that I am not too sure where to begin. We got to check in with all of our pals to make sure everything was going A-O.K. Joffrey is still being a little stinker but fortunately Sansa has learned to deal with him. Tyrion has taken his rightful place as acting Hand of the King for his father, Tywin Lannister, but I am worried that Cersei will not be pleased. The Starks are up to their old hijinks what with the war happening and all. We also get to meet the most serious Baratheon ever to grace this good Westeros. Not to be outdone Dany tries to feed a dragon! It is so crazy.

Thank you all for listening and reviewing and telling your friends and getting those weird tattoos. We have some awesome things planned for this magical second season of Game of Thrones and I hope you stick around to experience them. You will be a better person if you do!

You can literally cut the anticipation for the upcoming season of Game of Thrones with Longclaw in this very special Season 2 Spoilercast. With only a scant number of days between us and the premiere we decided to use our rabid anticipation as fuel for a bonus episode. Be warned, we riddled this podcast with heavy spoilers for book two, Clash of Kings. If you have not read it please save yourself some anguish and DO NOT LISTEN.

We discuss what we are most excited about seeing this season, including new characters, locations and battles. It is mostly us nerding out about how awesome we think it will be, to be honest.

Think of this as a reward to those who demanded that we do more spoilercasts. If you want us to do more fun one off episodes show us some love in iTunes. We survive off of your beautiful reviews and we will die without them. Thanks again for listening!
