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. T...

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 b...

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 re...

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. A good friend of mine once wrote, “Thank you again for all of the reviews, emails, tweets and just general awesomeness sent our way. Our robotic hearts run off of your love and you are keeping us ali...

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...

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. With GoT-fever raging all across these United States (as well as every other country) it is advisable to prescribe ...

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. Thank you for listening and just plain old ...

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 kin...

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...

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. Than...

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...

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!

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! I...

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 teena...

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...

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 me...

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. Ro...

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 tha...

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 Ho...
