Cast of Thrones - The Game of Thrones Podcast

Huzzah! We made it to the most important event in all of Game of Thrones! Forget secret merlings or Blackfyres, the Red Wedding is what every lover of A Song of Ice and Fire talks about. “Have you gotten to the part yet?” people often ask their friends. And now, dear listeners, you can join the ranks of all the other sad/ depressed people! We hope it wasn’t too traumatic, but hey, we had to go thr...

Happy Memorial Day, dear listeners! Since HBO decided to give Game of Thrones a little break this week, we will have a very special food-oriented episode of Cast of Thrones from the vaults! If you're a book reader, you know how George R. R. Martin (aka Jar Jar) likes to talk about food, and it just so happens that we do too! So come on down and listen to Jennifer and her friend Alison Rinehardt Ma...

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 talk...

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...

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 hope...

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 focuse...

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 y...

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 r...

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,...

Hello everyone! It is great to back in the warming glow of Game of Thrones as it is beamed onto our adoring faces.

Stick around and listen as we dig deep with our giant strength into all the nooks and crannies in this week’s episode of Cast of Thrones the Game of Thrones Podcast! Did you...

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...

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...

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...

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 he...

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...

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. The...

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...

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...

Looks like we made it winterfellas. Another apocalypse in the can. We are celebrating the new year by visiting two more chapters in clash of kings. We see how Sam and Jon are getting on beyond the wall. And then we check in with bran for more freaky wolf dreams. As always, thank you for your undying support and love. Merry New Year everyone! The coHosts-  Nick Bristow ,  Michael ‘Thrifty Nerd’ DiM...

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 mar...

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...

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, col...

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 liste...

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 Qar...

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 burn...
