“This non-recap podcast analyzes GoT in the context of real-world politics, culture, history. The focus is true analysis, succinct & compelling. Uniquely great GoT podcast.
The hosts are intelligent, eloquent, & steeped in both GoT & universal knowledge. They include the National...”Read full review »

“After each episode came out on the Sunday, I would listen to this podcast midway through the week to tie me over until the next episode. I really liked the theories they put out and the themes they cover.”

“I liked when Laura Hudson wrote about Game of Thrones for Wired and talked about it on the Gamelife podcast. Her cohost, Spencer Ackerman, adds a security or strategic perspective you won't find in most other Game of Thrones podcasts. I've listened to other podcasts about the show, and...”Read full review »

“The Guardian's GoT show has become a must listen for me as soon as it loads. Lauren Hudson and Spencer Ackerman are both book readers who discuss GoT and relate the real world to it. Worth subscribing to if you want serious, in depth discussion. Well done.”Read full review »

“I find Spencer's input really interesting but Laura is a difficult listen, seems to be deliberately contrary. Overall an interesting listen but would recommend Cast of Kings above this.”Read full review »

“Laura's insistence on mispronouncing Daenerys, and using the incorrect term Brotherhood Of Banners, makes it impossible to take her seriously. No excuse when her co-host gets both right. Presumably he is too polite to correct her, which is a pity.”Read full review »

“Title is pretty self explanatory. Title for this weeks episode 6/6/16 spoiled the return of a character thought dead and when you can't watch the episode on first international airing (2am here in the Uk and most people with jobs can't watch it until that evening) the podcast often spoils...”Read full review »

“My favorite GoT podcast out there right now. I love the smart discussion on the big themes of the show as opposed to the endless books vs show comparisons or the constant picking of nits that other GoT podcasts often trade in.”

“A gem of a podcast - engaging hosts tackling interesting angles and themes. I'm starting to look forward to the podcast as much as I do to the show itself.
One request - please ditch the recap section at the start. It sounded stilted and awkward and it added nothing to the show. Other than...”Read full review »

“Laura Hudson constantly pronounces the names of characters incorrectly. It's pedantic but it drives me mad. I know that accuracy is tricky with source material from both the HBO show and the novels. However, this is podcast about the TV show, so Hudson should probably imitate pronunciation on...”Read full review »

“Just the right amount of detail for casual fans who only know GoT from the show, yet the perfect level of analysis for in-too-deep readers looking for an exploration of the story's over-arching themes.
Full disclosure: Spencer Ackerman is a friend and I was there when he used Longclaw to...”Read full review »

“This was great! I love the idea of relating the themes of the series to the real world, it really demonstrates the relevance great works of fiction can have to our lives. Lara and Spencer are great hosts and I look forward to the rest of the series.”
