Stark Raven Mad: A Game of Thrones Podcast

This episode of Stark Raven Mad covers episode 10, the season finale, of Game of Thrones entitled “Mother’s Mercy”. This episode still had me feeling a bit empty. A lot of things almost happening. The episode is full of cliffhangers. Previous seasons, though they laid out things that were to come, this season didn’t really […]

This episode of Stark Raven Mad covers Season 5 Episode 9 of Game of Thrones titled “Dance With Dragons”. Overall a really good episode, but not as overall entertaining to me as episode 8. If I had to guess though Episode 10 will be on par with last year’s finale. We have lots of shoes […]

This episode of Stark Raven Mad covers Season 5 Episode 8 titled “Hardhome”. Good lord. Anyone that’s been complaining about a season in which there’s been a lot of inaction was just silenced. The last 20 or so minutes was some of the best 20 minutes this show has put together. Silly at times, sure, […]

This episode of Stark Raven Mad covers Season 5 Episode 7 of Game of Thrones entitled “The Gift”. Looks like those 6 episodes of set-up are finally starting to pay off. These last three episodes should be all the dominoes falling. Don’t forget our May contest! Follow us on twitter @SRMPodcast and be entered to […]

This episode of Stark Raven Mad covers Season 5 Episode 6 of Game of Thrones entitled “Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken”. Don’t forget our May contest! Follow us on twitter @SRMPodcast and be entered to win the Hedge Knight and the Sworn Sword graphic novels. Awesome prequels to the series. And as always go to AudibleTrial.com/StarkRavenMad and […]

Hafthór Júlíus Björnsson, AKA “The Mountain” from Game of Thrones, is in Philly for the weekend. He’s going to be appearing at the Philly Ren Faire May 16th and 17th. You’ll have the chance to meet him, get your picture taken and if you planned ahead you’ll get to train and fight with him! He […]

This episode of SRM covers Season 5 Episode 5 of Game of Thrones titled “Kill the Boy”. Good episode, but more or less another bridge to (likely) bigger payoffs down the road. Thanks to David Donnella, Katie Cwirko, Kevin Pettit and Lizzie Spellman for a really fun discussion. MAY CONTEST: If you follow us on […]

This episode of SRM covers Season 5 Episode 4 of Game of Thrones titled “The Sons of the Harpy”. In what was probably the best episode this season so far we were again all over the map. We had tender moments, some comic relief, but also some heartbreaking losses. As always the SRM crew breaks […]

This episode of SRM covers Season 5 Episode 3 of Game of Throne’s titled “The High Sparrow”. This is another episode that is moving pieces on the board closer together. People that haven’t been around each other previously or for a long while are now finding themselves in close proximity now and possibly close to others […]

This episode of SRM covers Season 5 Episode 2 of Game of Thrones. In an episode that took us all over Westeros and Esos we got to check in and also progress several storylines. Lots of ups and downs for characters tonight, but we know very well that the highs for any character typically don’t come […]

These are two short audio sketches made for the podcast inspired by a couple different things from Season 3 of Game of Thrones. The first is Podrick’s condoms. There was a running joke through Season 3 about Podrick and the whores of Westeros. The second is “Craster’s Keep” which is a “sitcom” based on the […]

And we’re back! After nearly a year of waiting Game of Thrones returns and SRM is there to spend most of the time talking about Sansa again. Not really. This episode covers Season 5 Epsiode 1 entitled “The Wars to Come”. General consensus was a it was a good episode, but a bit calm after last season’s game […]

And we’re back! This episode of SRM is our “Previously On…”. We will talk about where we left each plot point that we can remember from Season 4 of Game of Thrones. This panel includes Mike Marbach, David Donnella, Lizzie Spellman and Frank Farrell. The new season starts up Sunday, April 12th and you can […]

For better or worse, the SRM crew is back in action. Tonight we thought we’d get together and watch the “Day in the Life” documentary and then talk about it… only there wasn’t much to talk about.  So topics bounced around. A lot. This is our first podcast since earning “Best Podcast”  at the 2015 […]

It’s been a while, but we finally got a new episode together. This episode of Stark Raven Mad: A Game of Thrones Podcast was recorded live at the Philly Improv Theater on 8/22/14 as part of the Philly Podcast Festival. This show features some Season 5 casting news and then a large discussion of Season […]

In a season with many epic adventures, incredible spectacle and huge story developments this episode seemed to pack in more of each than probably the entire series combined. It was one of the best episodes of the series if not the best episode. Though some of my Stone Cold Lock of The Century of The Weeks still need time […]

We were worried that we wouldn’t have much to talk about with this episode since it was basically all the battle… but somehow we still managed to talk for an hour and a half. Traditionally, the 9th episode of Game of Thrones is the big one. The one when events happen that really shake up the story […]

This episode of SRM covers Season 4 Episode 8 of Game of Thrones entitled “The Mountain and the Viper”. Other things happened in this episode other than the fight, but damn. That last scene was a mind eraser. I have quickly gone through all the emotions I can. Emotions that I typically reserve for use […]

There was no new episode, but that didn’t stop us from talking for nearly 2 hours about everything that’s happened so far. In this episode, which is stacked with mostly people who only watch the show and have not read the books, we recap where we left most story lines and how we think they […]

This episode of SRM covers Season 4 Episode 7 entitled “Mockingbird”. We should start talking about the titles of the episodes, because the titles- understandably so- tip what the main goings on in the show could be. In this one Mockingbird is referring to the sigil of Petyr Baelish and as we saw… yeah, big goings […]

This episode of Stark Raven Mad: A Game of Thrones Podcast covers Game of Thrones Season 4, episode 6 entitled “The Laws of Gods and Men”. Lots going on in this episode and we did our best without the GoT knowledge anchor, Andrew, there to fill in the blanks and/or yell at us. I think […]

“First of His Name”. As the title of this week’s episode would suggest in this episode a new king is crowned and for once it looks like everything is gonna be aaaaalright in Westeros. Doubtful. This was a pret-ty big episode in terms of information that came out. Looks like Little Finger might actually be […]

In this episode of SRM we break down Game of Thrones Season 4 episode 4 “Oathkeeper”. We learn with a very heavy hand exactly who else was involved in the murder of you know who. If you’re a listener of the podcast you’ll now that I’m quite satisfied. I can’t say I called it first […]

In this episode of SRM we break down Game of Thrones Season 4 episode 3 “The Breaker of Chains”. We learn at least one person involved with the big event in the last episode. We check back in on the Night’s Watch, Stannis and most of the others that were missing from last week’s episode. […]

For this SRM Extra I rounded up several people who only watch the TV show and know nothing about what happens in the books. We take a closer look at the Purple Wedding. In particular we look at some of the prime suspects (as well as some sub-prime suspects) and break down their possible motive […]
