Customer Reviews
Great podcast!
Love this podcast. It makes the tv-show so much more enjoyable and I understand so much more. Same with the Westworld podcast!
But why isn't all the episode here? Only some of season 1 and season 6 and 7.
The best Game of Thrones podcast!
This podcast is a must after every episode. The two hosts Joanna Robinson and David Chen always deliver exquisite, in-depth analysis. Joanna's solid knowledge of the books, crucial for the theory discussions, is very much appreciated. Also noteworthy in comparison with other popular GoT podcasts: They. Don't. Spoil.
Highly recommended.
The perfect GOT podd!
I just really love this podcast. I almost yearn for it as much as I yearn for a new GOT-episode. If you want fan theories or just to listen to someone who really has knowledge about the show, this is the perfect podcast. Exxtra love for Joanna, she is just so great, and interesting to listen to. Never bored.
