Susan, Kelly, John, and Matt continue to discuss House of the Dragon S1E03 “Second of his Name”. A “serious” discussion breaks out, then they continue to explore the Tiny Wheel of Topics, and get a surprise Top 5 list from Kelly! They also play the 3 word description game, nominate the best couplings for the episode (Brothelmates), and play Seven Hellz, where they now draw not one, but TWO names to be potentially punished by in the next episode.

Send us your feedback, 3 words, Brothelmates, or guesses at this week’s “Scene from a Westerosi Movie” (see previous episode) by tweeting @b4thedragonpod, sending emails to [email protected], leaving comments at the website (mattsaudioblog.com),or on our YouTube videos (search for Before the Dragon Podcast there, subscribe, like and comment)!
