Episode 46 for the week of April 10th, in which we bring you a short episode just in time before the HBO Game of Thrones premiere. This week, we listen raptly to Kyle’s report from a week spent wandering the streets of LA for the Game of Thrones food truck, discuss the fifteen minute preview of the first episode, and listen to Chase grumble a bit.

You can watch Kyle’s food truck videos on Youtube here, and watch him being interviewed by ThinkHero here.

Episode 45 for the week of March 27th, in which we interview Alex, cofounder and cowebmaster of Tower of the Hand. Alex is also known as the Lord of the Chapters and Keeper of the Keys. We learn about the history of Tower of the Hand, discuss a unique theory and review the prologue of A Clash of Kings.

Episode 44 for the week of March 27, in which the male members of the podcast host a guys’ night out. We are joined by three guest hosts, Apocalypse Dan, Elio [co-founder of Westeros.org] and FaBio [Winter is Coming]. We start off with a discussion of Westerosi wines and the upcoming Cyanide Studios Song of Ice and Fire games. Then we dive into a review of the badassess, dbags and master minds of Westeros. And of course, we comment on the women of Westeros too, in an episode of Tormund Giantsbane proportions. The after show for this episode was targeted toward the upcoming girls’ night episode podcasters and was apparently too hot for our call recorders to handle. We managed to piece together a transcript of it, which is posted in our forums.

Episode 43 for the week of March 20th, in which we discuss chapter 73 of A Game of Thrones, finally finishing our reread of the first book. We cover our usual outdated TV series news, analyze Stannis’ sex life, and speculate on dragon reproduction. We are joined by guest host and master of tongues Marko (Hear Me Roar) from Winter is Coming.

Episode 42 for the week of March 13th, in which we discuss chapters 71 and 72 of A Game of Thrones, continue to discover Amin’s weird shipping fantasies, and rhapsodize over recent HBO trailers (just pretend they’re recent and that we’re timely).   We are joined this week by a duo of comedy professionals, Brian and Jared (who are probably not lovers).

Episode 39 for the week of February 20th, in which we discuss intermingling, neckbeards, Maester Luwin’s libido and everything in between, with a lengthy after show. We review chapters 66 and 67 of A Game of Thrones and try to finish off the Heir to the North theory. We are joined by two guest hosts from beyond the Wall: Apocalypse Dan and Miss Molly Grue (Sarah).

Episode 38 for the week of February 13th, in which we bring you a belated Valentine’s Day present in the form of our dulcet tones.  We review chapters 64 and 65 of A Game of Thrones, open the Heir to the North theory to listener comments, and discuss fermented mare’s milk.  Matt was our guest host for this week.

If the intro baffles you, that’s just Mimi counting to ten in Mongolian, in contrast to the numbers given in the Dothraki vocabulary guide.  It made sense at the time.  Sort of.

Episode 37 for the week of January 30th, in which we seem like almost respectable podcasters in our interview with Elio M. García (aka Ran) and Linda Antonsson, otherwise known as the force behind Westeros. Elio and Linda discuss working with GRRM, running the ASOIAF forums, and how the series has brought them together. With their expertise, we also review chapters 62 and 63 of A Game of Thrones. And Kyle showcases his awesome battle cry.

Episode 36 for the week of January 23rd, in which we sort of review chapters 60 and 61 of A Game of Thrones (but not really), realize how awesome Walder Frey is, and generally do such a poor job that Mimi quits the podcast (but not really). Our sexy lady guest host this week was Jane. Please don’t hate us.

Episode 35 for the week of January 17th, in which we review chapters 58 and 59 of A Game of Thrones, consider the new HBO tie-in cover art, and showcase Chase and Kyle’s epic voice acting talent (watch out, Roy Dotrice). Christina is our guest host for this episode, raising our sexy lady quota to new heights. And as the title suggests, there is so much more Blackwoody this time.

Episode 34 for the week of January 10th, in which we lament our status as the outcast of the ASOIAF fandom, find out more about George’s recent book signing, and return to our long overdue reread of A Game of Thrones.  We discuss chapters 56 and 57, with guest hosts Kyle and Sebastian being significantly more handsome and generally better than the rest of us.

Episode 33 for the week of December 20th, in which we end the podcasting hiatus with a triumphant return to verbally abusing Chase! In this episode, we discuss the casting and developments of the HBO series, dissect the behind-the-scenes trailer, and laugh at this picture of Hot Pie for a while. Kyle guest hosts this week. Stay tuned at the end for some after show discussions behind the creaking door.

Shout out to the following listeners: Raymond, Brian + Jared, Sarah, Apocalypse Dan, Christina, Jane, Matthew, Sebastian, Tim, Travis, and Dr. Perlmutter. Thanks for the fantastic audio introductions, we’d be thrilled to have each and every one of you on the show as a guest host, or possibly permanent recurring member (depending on your schedule). We’ll be getting in touch with you soon to collect your Skype username and availability (or if you want, leave a comment on this post).

We manage to pull it all together and record a pretty darn solid episode! Almost no editing required (I added some break music, bonus points for naming it) because we’re just that good.  It also helped that we had a terrific guest who kept us on track.

Our guest for this episode was Phil from www.Winter-Is-Coming.net in case you missed the Twitter posts. You are following us on Twitter, aren’t you? We talk about everything from how his site began, his sources, thoughts about the actors and their wild hair, everything we could think of!  And probably lots more that I just can’t remember because my brain is currently filled with Star Trek. Listen in to find out what I forgot!

Thanks again for coming to chat with us, Phil!
