“A fantastic podcast. I’m on my first read through of the series (currently up to ASOS) and it has been so so fun to read the chapter and then listen to the group’s thoughts on it. All of the hosts are witty, clever and insightful and this podcast has very genuinely brought a bright spot for me in...”Read full review »

“The women, and occasional man, on this podcast are insightful, funny and very knowledgeable about A Song of Ice and Fire and A Game of Thrones. As they unapologetically state, they are huge fans of Jaime and Brienne and their relationship, but they don’t stint on their examination of the other...”Read full review »

“This podcast has been my faithful companion since 2017 and I have loved every bit of it. The podcasters’ knowledge of the source material is encyclopaedic and their humour refreshing. Their most recent read (or re-read) of the books is fantastic.
They welcome questions, comments and constructive...”Read full review »

“No offense meant to occasional gents. This is the only GOT/ASOIAF podcast I can bear to listen to because there are just so many terrible takes out there, especially from men. I saw some of them had left bad reviews in this pod so I felt compelled to leave my own review to drown out their lack of...”Read full review »

“These ladies, and occasional gents, focus their attention on the big romance of ASOIAF.
When the dragons and the zombies and the politics have all been dealt with, it will be the slow burn romance of this beauty and beast that will be acknowledged as the emotional core of the series.
If we...”Read full review »

“Not much good to say about this. There’s a lot of long and awkward pauses. The conversation is often very surface level, despite there being some unique takes on a lot of stuff, at times. The host nitpick everything about both the books and the show. I appreciate criticism, and there’s plenty to...”Read full review »
