2-1/2 Butts or 5 Butt Cheeks of a podcast. That is high praise.

Love this pod more than a Targaryen loves their cousins.

Love this podcast !

I love this podcast, such a wonderful mixture of people , viewpoints and textures . I love the way you two work together and also, the other guests you bring in… the music , editing, all beautiful.

To be honest, I’m a little sad how negative the last episode was ( Green Council) and in general with Dragon, very critical …. I really love the show and choices they are making … in fact in many ways superior to Thrones. The claustrophobia we feel is spot on to the pressure of the world these characters are in.

Was so looking forward to your takes… will keep listening of course and we all see things our own way, was just surprised .

The mad dash to find Aegon was so Rhaynera would not be harmed … not sure why that didn’t play for you, I loved the stakes .

At any rate , thanks for a great show and will keep listening …. Just hope the vibe stays fun . It’s wonderful Dragon exists .
