Spoiler alert. This podcast is divided up for Non-Book-Readers (NBRS) and Book-Readers (BRs), but does talk about Season 5 castings for HBO’s Game Of Thrones in both sections. If you are extremely Season 5 spoiler sensitive, then this podcast may not be for you.
Otherwise Matt is joined by No Concept’s John Marius (@JohnMarius), The Joffrey of Podcast’s Bubba (@Fittentrim) and (welcome back!!!!) Cripples Bastards and Broken Things Podcast’s Ken (@CBBPodcast) to discuss the castings in a NRR and BR fashion as well as to begin a two-part series overviewing Matt’s recently completed Feast/Dance tandem read.
Find all back episodes, social media and contact links, and podcatcher links (please leave Matt a written review on iTUnes and/or Stichter) at podcastwinterfell.com
Great stuff. That was an awesome conversation. WELCOME BACK KEN!!!!!!! Your site is still the default when I type “C” into the nav bar. Again, Welcome back.
Since the discussion Ken has rejoined twitter as well. @CBBPodcast
Another excellent podcast, and so good to hear Ken again.
You raised the question how do you feel about the show perhaps finishing the story before the books… my response is Halleluyah!! I read the first book when it first came out as a hardcover Last Century and George Martin’s many, many “its coming soon” promises since book 2 have left me completely jaded. So I no longer believe that he will ever finish the story.
I would much rather have the show finish the story. I’m not sure if I’ll even bother reading the last books in the series – I feel that and I’m now not sure I want to give him my money. Although having said that, I will buy the books because I’m a sad fan
Thanks for your thoughts! They’re valid and great! I do feel like you should definitely buy the books however. The end game may or may not be the same between the show and books but the journey to get to different bullet points will definitely be different and that way you’re getting two excellent stories in one universe! – Thanks for listening! 🙂 – Matt
