The Blood of the Podcast

Welcome on in! Time has been short as of late, but I wanted to post at least a quick check-in of the past two weeks ("Driftmark" and "Lord of the Tides"). Two very strong episodes of television. Longer episodes will be coming in the future, but for now, we do what we can. And we're grateful for it.

Lord of the Tides marks itself as the best episode of House of the Dragon to date. And perhaps one of the best episodes within the greater Game of Thrones universe. Paddy Considine appears well on his way to an Emmy and Alicent misinterprets prophecy. It'll bite your -redacted- off every time.

Special thanks to Discount Nostalgia for their amazingly funky music. Find their album “Songs for Dogs” on Apple Music and anywhere you find music.

Welcome to the Time Gap episode! Today we discuss House of the Dragon, Season 1 Episode 6 "The Princess and the Queen". The show has taken a major step forward in the timeline (~10 years) and there is a lot to talk about. Jump on in!

Welcome on in for Episode 5 - We Light the Way! We are halfway through Season 1 of House of the Dragon and boy, it sure does seem Game of Thrones is back. Join us today!

Welcome on in everybody! House of the Dragon is off to a ripping start, with 4 episodes that have yet "to miss". Come join us enjoy! (Don't worry, not the Daemon kind).

Welcome in to Season 1, Episode 3, "Second of His Name", We take a visit to the Kingswood, (sadly) kill some animals all for the name of prophetic Arthurian symbolism (and maybe to take a stab at Robert Baratheon). Also, Matt Smith is great. All sounds used in this production are used under fair use by way of transformation and non-market disruption.

Welcome on in to episode 2 of our House of the Dragon coverage! We cover the very talky but very good episode in full (all spoilers!). We are loving the season here at the Blood of the Podcast, and we hope you are too!

Welcome on in! This is the return of The Blood of the Podcast! We return to the world of Westeros with the new installment of House of the Dragon. Very excited to be back doing weekly review episodes of the show. It's just so fun being back in Westeros, and we hope you are enjoying it as well.

A very special thanks to Discount Nostalgia and all of its members for the AMAZING music featured throughout the episode.

The first scene following the prologue introduces the reader to our main set of protagonists: House Stark. The deserter from the prologue, Garad, has been caught. The punishment for desertion in the North is simple: Death.

We jump into the final scene of the prologue from A Game of Thrones, a scene that descends straights from the authors background as a horror writer as he introduces the ultimate threat of his magnum opus: The White Walkers.

Music used:

Game of Thrones intro music and The Night King theme by Ramin Djawadi.

Artwork is Magali Villeneuve "Waymar Royce & The White Walkers". Visit her page! www.magali-villeneuve.com/

Notes from the editor:

I had the Game of Thrones intro song way cut down originally, but I just never liked how it cut off. The first time I came to this scene and this story, the full intro played directly after the epic cold open of this scene. So, full intro song it is.

Enjoy this dramatic reading of the House of the Undying from the Roy Dotrice narrated version of "A Clash of Kings".

Daenerys artwork by Marc Simonetti.

Music includes:

Dark Piano by Lucas King, Deep Cello Meditation Music by Greenred Productions, and Targaryen Theme by Ramin Djawadi.
