We have all sorts of fun stuff for the off season. If you have an idea for a neat little one off show just let us know and your wish may be our command! Like the ...

And so ends our journey through season 3 of Game of Thrones. Its been an exciting season with many laughs and tears.

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 through it and we are glad you can share in our pain. I hope our soothing tones help you cope, even if ...

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!

So come on down and listen to Jennifer and her friend Alison Rinehardt Mauldin, creator of the blog Food in General, talk Game of Thrones food and cook books! If you want to...

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.

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 on the many relationships of Westeros. Also, super awesome dragons. Thank you for 1) all your fine ...

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 hopefully make a few smiles along the way. Let me take a brief moment to thank all of you for reviewing ...

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 you get captured by a group of outlaw soldiers wouldn’t you want us to defend you? The best way to do...

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 right time to stop pushing your luck. Thank you so much for your continued support. We appreciate all...

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 out the juicy morsels. And since the raccoon was outside in the hot sun we will now be touching on spoile...

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, collecting bits of information. But, is all of this information worth the mental scarring that it bring...
