The official A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms podcast for S01E01.

It features an interview with showrunner Ira Parker and a talk with composer Dan Romer.

There are spoilers for S01E01, so go watch the series premiere before checking out the podcast.

In general, I'll delay posting any spoilers until Tuesday or Wednesday after an episode.

At least to me, the most interesting part of this look behind the scenes is how dragonfire is produced and why CGI just doesn't cut it when it comes to that effect.

Contrary to Tyrion Lannister's onetime belief about wildfire, dragonfire isn't made from "pig shit".

And ICYMI, the official HotD podcast for S02E06 was quite good. Ewan Mitchell returned and commented on Aemond's rise to power. Being just on audio, it's easier to focus on his vocal talents even when he's speaking in a non-dramatic conversational way with his regional accent. Speaking of accents, we get to hear Sonoya Mizuno talking about her character Mysaria and sounding much more like a BBC announcer in real life. But the most fascinating bit was executive producer/co-head writer Sara Hess talking about the role of women in the ASoIaF world of patriarchy.

Just a reminder that the House of the Dragon Podcast returns. And like everything else now, it has a trailer.

I'm pretty sure that podcasters Jason Concepcion and Greta Johnsen have already seen Season 3. Their body language is like: you have no idea what you're in for.

The official Game of Thrones 15th anniversary podcast.

Greta Johnsen and Jason Concepcion look back at the original series and talk about its cultural impact.

They pivot from talking about their original impressions to the most fun part of the pod they call "BESTEROS of WESTEROS" where they exchange views on characters, events, and relationships.

Looking back, this is my own nomination for most amusing comment in the entire series. Tyrion to Varys in S02E09...

I'm entirely sure you're entirely sure what I'm suggesting.

The Official A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms podcast for S01E06.

Along with the usual features, Jason Concepcion and Greta Johnsen interviewed showrunner Ira Parker.

Greta made reference to "Dunk's existential crisis". That is a useful one line description for this episode which is the season finale.
