This episode of Stark Raven Mad is part one of our Game of Thrones Season 5 wrap-up episode. Yes, I said “part one”. It has been cut into two parts, because it went nearly two and half hours. We discuss just about everything about season 5 that we could. There’s a bit more “in the books” talk than I like, but it was relevant at times. Overall an entertaining season, but at least this configuration of the panel agreed that it was likely the weakest of the 5 seasons. It had some really, really great moments for sure, but on the whole it was lacking. Especially after how tight season 4 was on every level.  Part two will be  released on June 29th. Enjoy!

							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.
