Great insight. Interesting takes. Have only listened to a few, like it a lot except for the “ums” and “ahs” which drive me crazy (makes it sound unprofessional) and keep it from being a 5 rating for me.

Just listened to the character analysis of Bran from Game of Thrones and the hosts did such a great job going over his character and how he links to different mythologies. I had no idea how many references went into Bran. Great podcast!

This is an interesting and thoughtful podcast by people whose reach tends to exceed their grasp. I was interested mainly in the Game of Thrones material, but the hosts (more D than L) often don't even pronounce character names correctly and tend to have shallow bad takes.
