Citadel Dropouts Episode 5: Bros Before Snows

Customer Reviews
New fave GoT podcast!
Great combo of recap & topical social/political analysis.
Why Listen?
Please don't do the podcast next year. You hate the show, wish it was a different show and cannot clearly describe the show you wanted to see. Listening to this is like reading a translation of a book where the translator hates the original material.
Best and most thought provoking GoT podcast
I have been devouring all sorts of GoT podcasts for years and these two take the cake. It's an amazing deep dive into themes and plot lines in ways I never thought about. Better then the show itself on occasion!
