Hafthór Júlíus Björnsson, AKA “The Mountain” from Game of Thrones, is in Philly for the weekend. He’s going to be appearing at the Philly Ren Faire May 16th and 17th. You’ll have the chance to meet him, get your picture taken and if you planned ahead you’ll get to train and fight with him! He was awesome enough to give me some time to chat about the Ren Faire, Game of Thrones and being one of the world’s strongest humans. He also gave me one of my favorite things ever- an SRM tag that you’ll now probably hear at the start of every episode.
The song you hear at the top is an original composition by Fred Brown and Drew Evans specifically for SRM. So a big shout out and thanks to those guys! Also, check out lastnamepoems.tumblr.com. Fred writes poems using only the last names from a particular group/team of people. It’s neat. Check it out.
Lastly- the May Twitter contest is still happening! If you’re a new follower during the month of May you can win an awesome (presently unnamed) Game of Thrones related prize! So follow us @SRMPodcast. Also email us SRMPodcast@gmail.com with any questions, discussion topics, etc. And now, enjoy as I get close with The Mountain!

New followers in May are entered to win Hedge Knight & Sworn Sword graphic novels! Follow us for #GameOfThrones news & live tweeting.

							This episode of Stark Raven Mad: A Game of Thrones podcast covers Season 1 Episode 8 of House of the Dragon titled “Lord of the Tides.” It’s now 6 years and 30 kids later. It’s an episode in which Viserys takes center stage with all events more or less revolving around him. He is the thread that has kept the greens and the blacks from war and, after seemingly making one final act ensuring a more lasting peace, undoes it on his way out the door. Oh and we got more dragon eggs.RATE AND REVIEW FOR YOUR CHANCE TO WIN A PRIZE!Go to iTunes, subscribe, rate and review the pod (preferably favorably) and then email us your view at srmpodcast@xroadscomedy.com and you’ll be entered to win a Game of Thrones related prize in our first season finale episode. FOLLOW OUR PANELISTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA, CHECK OUT THEIR SIDE GIGS, AND SEE THEM PERFORM LIVE IN PHILLY!Mike: Follow @mikemarbach on all the things and check out the Crossroads Website at xroadscomedy.com for info on shows, podcasts, and classes!Rob: Trust the Sauces.

							This episode of Stark Raven Mad: A Game of Thrones podcast covers Season 1 Episode 7 of House of the Dragon titled “Driftmark.” We escape another large time jump for a week while all hell begins to break loose. Aemond takes Vhagar, Jacaerys takes Aemond’s eye, Alicent takes blood, Rhaenyra takes Daemon, Karl takes Laenor across the narrow sea, and Viserys takes it easy through all of it. He is not long for this world and that final thread keeping the “peace” is about to snap.RATE AND REVIEW FOR YOUR CHANCE TO WIN A PRIZE!Go to iTunes, subscribe, rate and review the pod (preferably favorably) and then email us your view at srmpodcast@xroadscomedy.com and you’ll be entered to win a Game of Thrones related prize in our first season finale episode. FOLLOW OUR PANELISTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA, CHECK OUT THEIR SIDE GIGS, AND SEE THEM PERFORM LIVE IN PHILLY!Mike: Follow @mikemarbach on all the things and check out the Crossroads Website at xroadscomedy.com for info on shows, podcasts, and classes!Rob: Trust the Sauces.
