Hello beautiful and wonderful Winterfellas! We return for our penultimate book club episode to discuss some of the bloodiest chapters in A Game of Thrones! War is breaking out across both Westeros and Essos, and that means no one is safe. Deals are being made to keep people alive, but we all know that everything is going to fall apart. So join us to find out who will successfully play the game of thrones and who will die. You hear that? It is the sound of our magical custom-made shirts being sen...

It's another crazy week in Westeros! The Lannisters make their move inside King’s Landing while Arya and Sansa try to stay alive. Naturally, Arya kills a stable boy and Sansa runs crying to her family’s enemies. Even the wall has heated up, zombie heat that is! Winterfell doesn’t want to be left out of the party either so they decided to call their banners, and Tyrion decides to follow suit and recruit some savages. Dany almost gets killed by wine, WHICH IS CRAZY! Our live brodcasts have been bo...

In this installment of the Game of Thrones Book Club , we take a good long look at Eddard as he blunders through 4 chapters. We also take a trip across the Narrow Sea and witness Dany eating her first horse heart, then we head up to the wall because Jon is being emo. In addition, we discuss whether or not being female is truly a birth defect and if they had contraceptive measures in the Dark Ages. As always, we love you. Thank you for listening, XOXO The coHosts- Nick Bristow , Michael ‘Thrifty ...

In this very special episode of Cast of Thrones we discuss the importance of brotherly love. Dany and Visy have a slight altercation in which his love is called into question. Meanwhile, Robb and Bran have to rely on theirs to get out of a sticky situation! Thankfully Tyrion puts his new brotherly love to a test – to the death! These book clubs have been a great time for everyone involved. All of the CoT hosts want to thank everyone who is showing up at tinychat.com/castofthrones to talk about t...

We are half way through Book 1 of A Song of Ice and Fire and things are beginning to heat up! This episode is long and there was a lot to cover. Sansa is being her usually proper self, we get to see Arya being a dirt boy, and of course Eddard continues to sleuth around with his old pal scooby. Once again, thank you so much for listening and coming to the live shows. We really do appreciate it. We still need an outro line, so if you have a good one, hit us up at info at castofthrones.com . Thank ...

Things are really heating up in A Game of Thrones ! Arya is learning how to dance, Dany is learning how to love and Ned is learning that life in King’s Landing can be tough. On the bright side Jon makes a new friend and Catelyn takes a bold move forward with her life. We also get to read about everyone's favorite character, Syrio Forel, who water dances into our hearts. Thank you for all of the kind and wonderful feedback. I think we have steadily improved the show to a point where we are proud ...

Welcome to the inaugural episode of Wine, Women, and Westeros, an offshoot of the regular Cast of Thrones podcast! In this very special, lady-centric episode, I and my friends Betsy and Annie discuss both the badass women of the ASOIAF universe and our experiences as female fantasy fans over a rather large bottle of wine. Though I totally love book-clubbing and episode-analyzing with the guys, I must admit that this lady-cast was loads of fun. We talked Arya's tomboyishness. We talked Cersei's M...

On this week’s Cast of Thrones our hosts found themselves asking “what if.” What if Sansa wasn’t so dumb? What if Arya murdered everyone? What if Varys was actually a spider? What if you pooped off of The Wall? Ultimately we offer up no more answers than we had when we began, but we had fun just the same. Thank you for joining us live for our Book Club recordings. Everyone involved is having tons of fun it seems. We are back on our normal schedule of recording live on Sunday nights at 8:00 est. ...

We like to think that this is one of our finer episodes of Cast of Thrones since we have the wonderful Finn Jones gracing us with his presence. Ser Loras, the Knight of Flowers himself, took a break from his busy jousting schedule and gaming of thrones to chat with us about life on the set, Season Two and how he would defend himself from the eventual Zombie apocalypse. Usually having a big star on the show would be good enough, but not this week! We are happy to announce the release of our very ...

Join us as we dig in and digest chapters Bran II – Catelyn III this week. Things are really heating up on the pages of Westeros y’all! Bran takes a spill, Dany gets hitched, Catelyn does nothing for a while and Tyrion and Jon become best buds. We had an enlightening conversation (live broadcasted on tinychat.com/castofthrones ) about the extent of Khal Drogo’s bells and just how did Catelyn go to the bathroom while she was mourning Bran? Our Winterfella army is doing such a great job! Your love ...

We are joined once again by the lovely, talented, and all around swell guy Kristian Nairn on this bonus episode of Cast of Thrones. As you no doubt know, Kristian plays the cuddly Hodor in Game of Thrones (the TV show, books don’t have actors…smh.) We sat around the virtual pub and chatted about a wide array of topics such as life on set, Season 2, and dubstep. Thank you for downloading, listening, and reviewing our humble podcast. It is listeners like you that allow us the clout to get intervie...

or: Cast of Thrones Book club Episode 1: The Beginagaining We are delighted to introduce our very first episode of the Cast of Thrones Book club. Each week we will go through about eighty pages of Game of Thrones and provide amazing insights as well as a few jokes. This week we read from the Prologue and finished with Arya’s first chapter. It was a great time! We also will be broadcasting each of these episodes live! That means you can affect what we are talking about on the fly. No more yelling...

Hello once again from the Frozen North! Your brave and true of heart hosts decided to meet once again to cast our pods. It was a wonderful episode that quickly became extremely dirty. Oh yes, lines were crossed and we soon realized that we would never be the same again. So pick up your trusty pen and paper and follow along with us as we play: Marry, Fuck, Kill. The original reason we decided to record was to talk about the Game of Thrones Season 2 Trailers, but we had much more fun playing a gam...

Hello there wonderful Winterfellas! Once again we have come together and recorded our voices for your eager ears. Tonight’s prime topic: How do you fill the Game of Thrones shaped hole in your heart? Yes, we realized nothing could satisfy us the same way. Yes, rereading/ watching Game of Thrones is most likely the best way to fill that void. And Yes, Dao almost died. So settle into your easiest chair and pour your favorite brandy (maybe even bake up some fresh lamprey pie!) and get ready to laug...

Alternative Title: Cast of Thrones Bonus episode: Congrats to Peter Dinklage, Warning This Episode Doesn’t Talk About the Emmys. Sometimes life in Westeros can be so gosh darn confusing. That is why we are here for you dear listener. Your loyal and scholarly hosts of Cast of Thrones dug through the depths of human kind’s Game of Thrones quandries to shed some light on this dark and confusing world. One can practically hear the masses ask aloud, almost pleadingly, “Did that horse actually die?” W...

Well here we are again my friends. Let us gather around the old radio with grandma and uncle Bruce for some high quality Cast of Thrones entertainment. Yep, this is some real “Leave it to Beaver” sh*t. In this FINAL “A Dance with Dragons” review episode we discuss “A Dance with Dragons” with great zeal and aplomb. I just know you will like it, unless you haven’t read the book yet. We can’t really discuss whom we talked about since it would be a spoiler to mention that they are alive, but there w...

Welcome to part 2 of our lengthy, yet super entertaining, discussion of “A Dance with Dragons.” I am pretty sure none of us cried this episode, but it was close. If you haven’t read the books be sure to listen to the first “non-spoiler” section where we grill Nick and Mike about facts from the series! I think at least three of us enjoyed that section (we are trying to be nicer to them, but it is just so hard!) If you have any friends that are into the book series be sure to let them know that yo...

That's right kids, the gang is back for their third special! This time around we are going against our normal rules and going all out spoilersville for George “Jar Jar” Martin's latest book A Dance With Dragons. Don't worry non-readers! The first 20 minutes of the podcast is completely spoiler-free and contains maybe the best “stump Mike Dao” segment we've ever done. We let you know way ahead of time when the spoilers will start, so you can listen without fear. If you are going to listen to the ...

After a short, but painful break the Cast has gotten back together to discuss the season as a whole. This a much more “free-form” episode since the season was way long, seriously, at least 10 episodes. We discussed the characters that are near and dear to our hearts, seeing if maybe they have changed as much as the show has changed us. There were a few tears, zero laughs and more inappropriate google-ing than you can shake a dire-donkey at. We are going to try and keep the Cast of Thrones fever ...

Well, it sure was a really fun, strange journey everyone. With some ups and some donkeys, we really had a blast, y’all. I think we can all agree that this will be a finale to remember. Maybe it was the dragons. Maybe it was the continued incest. We may never know what truly made episode 10 of Game of Thrones so great. Fire and Blood will run through our hearts until we find out WTF dragons. Please, let us take a few moments to thank all of our wonderful, kind and attractive fans. You helped all ...

Absolutely nothing bad happened in this episode of Game of Thrones. Right? I am just kidding, that was way terrible right? Ep. 9 was just full of painful things happening to both our heros AND to horses! At least there was a few marriages promised and Tyrion got a new drinking buddy. Hey good news everyone! We had an unplanned but extremely wanted guest! Miltos Yerolemou stopped on by to chat with us! This wasn’t an interview y’all, he just talked about the episode with us like a bro! We apologi...

Gather around everyone, we have some bad news. On a very special episode of Game of Thrones, things get…complicated. Remember all those characters that you loved? Well…some are dead, others are in jail and most are in some sort of horrible danger. On the bright side Tyrion met some nice new friends. Also, this was an awesome episode, one of the Cast’s most favorite episodes. Besides all the hot Game of Thrones talk and Donkey based puns, we also announced our contest winner – it may have been yo...

Boy do we have a doozie of a special for you today. This is the first of many bonus episodes to come.

So please, spread the word! Be sure to tune in Tuesday when we discuss the rest of episode 8. Enjoy! The...
