Kissed By Fire

Heyo! We had so much to say about HOTD S3 that we recorded a whole extra podcast for you! Stef and Beth breakdown the show as a whole, we talk likes and dislikes and make predictions for next season. Spoiler alert: we have no idea what the show is going to do. Genuine spoiler alert: SPOILERS ALL. We've loved covering this season with you. We will be back with normal service, reading through Fire A...

We're ALIIIVE! Been missing HOTD content? Well here's a bit more for you. Stef and Beth break down the final episode of Season 3 of House Of The Dragon. Rhaenyra has some stuff to deal with in Kings Landing and she's definitely totally sane about it and makes excellent decisions for sure. No doubt. Our hearts are broken by Haelaena. Daemon magically pole vaults from his horse to his dragon and bac...

Stef's computer and life broke down so Beth stepped up and covered the latest episode of House Of Dragon. Stef hasn't listened to it yet and therefore has no idea what Beth has to say. Hopefully she answers the question of WHAT THE FUCK IS THE TITLE ABOUT and also WHY IN THE FUCK DO WE HAVE TO SEE MOTHERS FUCKING THEIR SONS? Enjoy. The last episode of the season is on Sunday. Use this to enjoy the...

We're nearly at the end of Season 3 of HOTD! This week there is more tinfoil about the latest episode, wild guessing as to what will come up as the season and the show progresses. We talk assassins, bitch-slaps, small council chaos, Beth gets fired for upsetting Stef (protect Haelaena!) and THAT OPENING SCENE. Bye, Felicia! Please enjoy and subscribe. SPOILERS ALL.

We're back with the latest instalment of our HOTD Season 3 coverage. Daemon Who (Doctor Who reference for you there) rouses his men but gets a nasty shock. Also, is he one of the few people actually occasionally making sense this episode? There's stuff about Alys and Aemond and his need for a mommy who can summon bats (I wish). Criston Cole is doing his best sad person impression. And Stef gets co...

It's Tumbleton Time! But is it? Ormund Hightower does his best Patrick Bateman impression. Raenyra bans Ulf from going to the pub. Haelaena is pregonantay. Listen here for BWord and StefLyoness to break down all this and more from the latest episode of HOTD. Which is apt, considering Ormund conducts his business while in a hot bath. Talkin' 'bout HOT DEEEEE!!!!! Enjoy, people!

Episode 3, aka episode 1 of season 3 (in a way) had its ups and its downs. We had feelings and thoughts. Is Larys in the rats? Why does Haelaena not want to be in that room? Did Rhaenrya really need to get her period? We get inside the queen's mental state and chat all about what's going down in Kings Landing. And it ain't all pretty. Can't wait for episode 4. But in the meantime.... here is our a...

Enjoy Stef and Beth chatting all about the latest episode of House Of The Dragon! We spill the tea and have a great time doing it. Enjoy!

We're are back! Actually, this time it's just StefLyoness (sorry everyone) because Beth lost her voice at the time of recording and we wanted to make sure we got content to you about the HOTD Season 3 opener as soon as possible. We know we all can't get enough while the show is on. Here is Stef chatting nonsense about their thoughts on the show. They have many questions and require you all to get...

Here's your next episode! You may notice I left in a number of oopsies and bloopers. They were kinda funny so they stayed in. This week we are looking at a few more pages of Policy, Progeny and Pain from Fire and Blood (please do let us know if you are finding our fine tooth combing of this chapter tedious in any way!). Trigger warning: this is a sad episode. It's a funny chapter too, but there is...

Hello to you! Here is the next episode of Kissed By Fire! It's been a while, crocodile, but we're back with more content for your beautiful listening ears. This episode is depressing. Sorry. No other way to put that. It's got disease, doom, gloom and pretty gross death stuff. It ain't pretty. But we still manage to make (inappropriate?) jokes about it! This episode is also all about power, who bel...

New Chapter Alert! We thought the last one was long... Well, this new one is in a whole new realm of chapter girth. We are taking 'The Long Reign, Jaehaerys and Alysanne: Policy, Progeny and Pain' little bit by little bit so we can cover it all in the depth we enjoy, without ruining ours and everyone's lives by making a 48 hour episode you have to listen to. In this instalment we head off and away...

Here it is! The next episode for your lovely ears. This is the moment we close the chapter, "Jaehaerys And Alysanne: Their Triumphs and Tragedies". We recorded this earlier in November and we were beset by several technical issues, including Stef's audio/internet totally failing for a good while. So apologies for the slow speed of getting this one out and for the fact Stef actually disappears for...

Feast your ears around our latest episode! It's great to be back covering Fire And Blood after the summer off covering HOTD. We continue our read through of the chapter, "Jaehaerys And Alysanne: Their Triumphs And Tragedies". This time we see the final years of Rhaena (sorry Beth), babies are born, patriarchy lives on, Barth gets a new job and immediately has a rather threatening away-day in Braav...

And we're back. It's the episode we've been excited to bring to you since we recorded way back in May! Patreons already have it, and now you can listen to this super special episode featuring none other than one of the most amazing human beings in all of the universe, Sanrixian. She joins us to break down all things dragon into sexy detail. This episode is genuinely excellent and full of juice. We...

Season 2 is over! Episode 8 hit and StefLyoness and BWord are here to talk all about what happened, what it means for the next seasons and also what it means for all future canon. Spoilers all. You have been warned. We chat about prophecy, blood magic, greenseers, dragonseers, smallfolk, awkward family dinners (we're looking at you, Ulf and Jace), mud wrestling and just how many wives Tyland had t...

And we're back! StefLyoness and BWord breaking down Episode 7 of House Of The Dragon, "The Red Sowing". We look at what's been going on in Westeros this week and make predictions for next week's finale. Leaks be damned! Questions we pose this time: What's Larys really up to? How come Oscar Tully is so cool? What does it actually take to claim a dragon? What does this mean for Danaerys in the futur...

BWord and StefLyoness are back to breakdown HOTD Season 2 Episode 6, "Smallfolk". Expect conversation about a slap and a kiss on Dragonstone, a riot in Kings Landing and Daemon doing his thing in Harrenhal. There is passionate debate over the pacing of the show and Stef may be feeling some feelings about it... As always, enjoy. Leave comments and review us if you want!

StefLyoness and BWord are breaking down episode 5 of season 2 of House Of The Dragon so you don't have to! We delve into this... perhaps slower episode... with as much precision as usual. Like, really what on earth is happening in The Riverlands and at Harrenhal? And what on earth is THAT dream of Daemon's all about? And why is this happening? The green and black council meetings are explored and...

Surprise! StefLyoness was ill this week so the amazing Scad from Davos Fingers Podcast stepped in gallantly and brilliantly for them. He and Beth break down their favourite and less favourite bits from the latest episode of House Of The Dragon, "The Red Dragon And The Gold". Expect chat about Harrenhal shenanigans with Daemon and Alys, THAT DRAGO BATTLE SCENE, and Aemond "The Savage" Targaryen. As...

In this next NotAStream, StefLyoness and BWord are breaking down the third episode from season two of House of The Dragon, "The Burning Mill". We chat all about our favourite scenes and themes. This time you can expect talk all about the people Aegon and Rhaenrya are listening to and why they choose to listen to them, how the show is planting (Dragon)seeds, what else is in Alicent's booby pockets,...

We've changed our format slightly to doing podcasts for our HOTD content (which is also going up on YouTube). That way we can more easily fit content into our lives and get the best of us to you as soon as possible! We are having a break from the usual content of our podcasts to break down House Of The Dragon, season two. And this one is all about episode two, "Rhaenyra The Cruel'". We break down...

We've started a new chapter! "Jaehaerys And Alysanne - Their Triumphs And Tragedies". It's not as heavy as the previous chapter (yet), but there's still plenty for us to talk about. And we do! We go on a hunt for Aerea with Rhaena across Westeros, we learn more about Dragonlore, ponder who Septon Barth (the all-knowing) actually is, go through the Westerlands with Jaehaerys and even have a baby wi...

Okay. Prepare yourself. This one is pretty epic. Firstly we are finally finishing the MAMMOTH chapter in which we have seen assassination attempts, egg theft, lesbian tiffs, angry children and plotting a scheming galore. This time there's more death, some pretty awful Westerosi Women's Health programmes and A LOT more death! In fact, there's so much death, people are worried about what's actually...

StefLyoness and BWord get on to the next part of this epic chapter in Fire And Blood by George R R Martin. In this episode we talk about the High Septon, The Hightowers, and even High Treason! All isn't well on Dragonstone and Rhaena is about to face a huge betrayal from someone she loves. It's a betrayal with far reaching consequences for the rest of the book series... Oh and the High Septon dies...
