“Mimi, Amin, Ashley, and Kyle are the coolest group of dorks I know of. On A Podcast of Ice and Fire, this core four discuss George R.R. Martin's monster hit fiction series and HBO's TV adaption "Game of Thrones" with a wonderfully entertaining balance of thoughtful analysis and funny critique. Each episode of the podcast somehow manages to be BOTH a free flowing fun listen, AND a melee of raunchy humor filled rants on the material. Readers owe this podcast a huge debt of gratitude, and I for one, am thoroughly grateful for their efforts on the interweb. After I discovered George R.R. Martin's World of Westeros on HBO, I devoured the 5 books in just a matter of months and instantly was overflowing with my new love and obsession. So naturally, I desperately needed to talk to someone about them. Although I did manage to coax several friends and family members to start reading the books, my fanaticism was much more advanced than anybody I knew then, and I could do nothing but wait for them to catch up. I tried to enjoy the many fansites and yes, many are fun to peruse here and there. But none of the online articles, essays, forums, or blogs could fill my void on Ice & Fire. I needed a series of dorm room style all nighter discussions with friends to satisfy me. So although it's perhaps a little sad that I couldn't literally find real friends to vent my dorkiness to, I was saved by the next best thing, APOIAF. Now that the second season is in full swing on HBO, their recap podcasts are certainly a highlight of my every week. And even more important, now that I'm eagerly awaiting the next book The Winds of Winter, I'm consuming the back catalogue and making every commute to and fro' a time for another Podcast of Ice & Fire. Thank you so much for the great work, core four. Please keep em' coming. (This is Michael J on the chatbox and still a virgin to the forum. Though I just registered.)”
