Episode 61 for the week of July 3rd, in which we prepare for the magnificence that is the impending July 12th release of A Dance with Dragons. For this final episode before our ADWD hiatus, we leech off excellent forum posts in order to make poor predictions as to the fate of our beloved characters. Listen as we vote “True or False,” make random guesses for “Win, Lose, or Die,” and consider Mimi’s future childbirth plans.

Note: The audio in this episode is really terrible for the first 30 minutes, after which it improves dramatically. This is the result of cobbling together two different recordings. Sorry!

Episode 60 for the week of June 19th, in which we review the tenth and final episode of HBO’s Game of Thrones. Like last week, this week’s episode is also SPOILER-FREE. Keep in mind, material from the first book is fair game in this episode, now that the corresponding first season has concluded. We do not, however, spoil future events from later books. We are joined this week by our best friend Larry from Otaku Assemble, and also this guy named Wes. Listen in as we discuss our feelings about the finale, examining in detail the most important scene: Pycelle’s Maesterobics regimen.

Episode 59 for the week of June 12th, in which we review the ninth episode of HBO’s Game of Thrones. This week’s episode is SPOILER-FREE, in light of our returning guest host: Larry from Otaku Assemble, now even more internet-famous for his YouTube reaction to the final scene of the episode. We review “Baelor,” interrogate Larry about his feelings, and argue the amount of male eye candy versus female eye candy in Game of Thrones.

Episode 58 for the week of June 5th, in which we interview Sariann and Chelsea, founders of The Inn at the Crossroads, a food blog dedicated to replicating dishes mentioned in the Song of Ice and Fire series. Listen to us interrogate our lovely guests about their delicious creations while attempting not to spoil the series plotlines after A Storm of Swords. After the interview, Sariann and Chelsea join us in reviewing chapter 5 of A Clash of Kings.

Episode 57 for the week of June 5th, in which we review the eighth episode of HBO’s Game of Thrones. During this episode recap, we argue the merits of the Arya-stableboy scene, rhapsodize over Hodor’s full frontal, and give all the Golden Manwoody awards to Richard Madden for being the best/sexiest Robb Stark imaginable.

Episode 56 for the week of May 29th, in which we review the seventh episode of HBO’s Game of Thrones. Witness Kyle trying to defend Littlefinger’s sexposition scene, Ashley’s Hound rage spilling forth, as well as various other discussions that are probably unfit for human consumption.

And yes, we know this episode is late. Please direct all of your nerd rage towards Kyle. He secretly likes it.

Episode 55 for the week of May 22nd, in which we bring you a woefully belated chapter recap episode. This time around, we discuss chapters 4 and 5 of A Clash of Kings, explain why Cersei Lannister’s middle name is probably Kori, and somehow divert ourselves into a discussion about getting drunk with the characters of Westeros. The lovely and hilarious Jaz of House Boox guest hosts for this episode.

Note: True to Ashley’s prediction, the Drawing Game of Thrones project on the podcast forums has been completed in the time it took us to get this episode out! APOIAF would like to thank every member who contributed to and encouraged the thread. You make House Manwoody proud.

Episode 52 for the week of May 22nd, in which we review the sixth episode of HBO’s Game of Thrones. We are joined by guest hosts Christina and Jaycel (aka Poe to the Pulps from our forums). And unfortunately, Christina is sober for the duration of this episode.

Episode 53 for the week of May 15th, in which we are joined by guest host Kristen Nedopak from Think Hero TV. After some introductory chat, we continue our reread of A Clash of Kings, reviewing chapters 2 and 3. We also talk about the TV show, George R.R. Martin’s writing style and lemoncakes.

Episode 52 for the week of May 15th, in which we review the fifth episode of HBO’s Game of Thrones. Because of our special guest host this week, this episode is SPOILER-FREE until the aftershow (at which time, you will hear the spoiler warning). Listen to us discuss booby-trapped saddles, the Loras & Renly Manscaping Hour, and mourn poor Jory Cassel with our hilarious, enthusiastic guest of the week: Larry, of Otaku Assemble Youtube fame.

ASOIAF readers and long-time APOIAF listeners, stay tuned to our ridiculously long aftershow for some familiar voices, and their opinions on the episode!

Episode 51 for the week of May 8th, in which APOIAF fucked up royally and lost our actual attempt at a Game of Thrones episode recap (read: didn’t actually record it). Therefore, we are rolling out Late Night with Mimi & Kyle as a stand-in for our “Cripples, Bastards And Broken Things” review. And don’t be confused when the intro says “episode 69.” That’s just Mimi being dumb and not even remotely sexy.

Don’t hate us, we love you. Stay tuned for our return to the A Clash of Kings re-read!

Episode 50 for the week of May 1st, in which we bring you a week-late review of HBO’s Game of Thrones third episode. Listen to us gush over the perfection that is Maisie Williams, respond to listener voicemails, and probably some other things too.

We’ve officially churned out 50 episodes over our 3-year lifespan. Some were good, some were terrible, and then there was Tyrion the Catcher, which defies description. The Podcast of Ice and Fire wants to thank every listener, subscriber, and guest host who has given us feedback, dick jokes, and the will to continue podcasting after all this time. Here’s to House Manwoody, and another 50 episodes of ASOIAF-related laughter.

Warning: this podcast episode (and all HBO’s Game of Thrones review episodes) will contain spoilers for aired episodes as well as all four published books in the A Song of Ice and Fire series. New viewers of the show who have not yet read the books, you’ve been warned.

Episode 49 for the week of May 1st, otherwise known as the episode with the most breasts in the history of APOIAF. The female members of the podcast are joined by guests hosts Linda [co-founder of Westeros.org], Kelsey [moderator of ontd_asoiaf], Christina, Dani, and Sarah. On top of all this feminine magnificence, fan favorite Ashley 2 makes an appearance for this special episode. We discuss the women of Westeros, find out that we are not supposed to enjoy this “boy fiction,” and witness Christina dropping the bomb of knowledge about royal inheritance. Also some sexy things were said. Unlike the boys of the podcast, we actually recorded our aftershow!

Episode 48 for the week of April 24th, in which we bring you an overlong review of the second episode (this time overflowing with Chase opinions!), mourn the painful Lady-killing scene, and yell at Chase until he shaves his beard. Resident archeologist and sexbot Christina guest hosts again.

Note: this episode was recorded after Girls’ Night Out and is being published before it, so there might be a few confusing references. Don’t panic, ladychat will be on its way to being published soon.

Warning: this podcast episode (and all HBO’s Game of Thrones review episodes) will contain spoilers for aired episodes as well as all four published books in the A Song of Ice and Fire series. New viewers of the show who have not yet read the books, you’ve been warned.

Episode 47 for the week of April 17th, in which we bring you the first of many Game of Thrones episode reviews. Tune in to hear our thoughts on the premiere of the HBO series, witness Kyle’s impersonation of Dany’s maid, and discover why Jamie should have worn sunglasses during the final scene.
