HBO's Westworld is full of vagaries and questions. Out West is a podcast from The Outline that tries to guess at what the answers are. Each week, we find one fan with a solid theory, and we kick the tires to see how that theory holds up.

Valar Dohaeris
It’s been a while. Last year, our hosts drove themselves crazy trying to make sense of Westworld. Now, they’ve embarked on a no less daunting task: figuring out what, exactly, is going to happen during the final season of Game of Thrones. It’s part of The Outline’s official Game of Thrones Day™, which you can track throughout the day on our site.
Join Jeremy, Casey, and Josh as they catch up on what’s been happening in Westeros, remind Josh several times who Oberyn is (he’s the Prince of Dorne!), and get to some hardcore theories about who’s going to die now that all the armies are marching North.
And a reminder: Out Westeros considers the fan theory a form of high art and a kind of religion. If you've got your own, send them to us as a voice memo to outwesteros@theoutline.com or find us right here at Anchor.

Customer Reviews
Season 3?!
Season 3 us here! Where’s the crew at? We need you
Why ?
Came for GoT, didn’t even finish the episode. I tried a westworld episode just to be fair and it kind of confirmed my opinion. Josh needs to step back. He talks over the other hosts to say stupid things, can’t pronounce any names correctly, and doesn’t even remember the storyline. He contributes nothing to this conversation. Really, how can you host a nerdcast and not know who Boromir is?
Disappointed
I was excited to see the podcast was going to take on Game of Thrones. Was quickly disappointed when I saw it was the same amount of effort that went into the season 2 Westworld podcasts. It’s hard to get interested listening to theories when half the hosts don’t seem to remember character names or important plot lines. Some preparation work would be all that is needed so the the entire podcast isn’t taken up with explaining things the other hosts forgot. It comes across messy and unprofessional.
