A Podcast of Whiners and Haters

A recommendation:

I've been listening to a lot of 'A Podcast of Ice and Fire' recently, which is a spoiler-heavy, absolutely hilarious podcast about George RR Martin's 'A Song of Ice and Fire' series, and the HBO show 'Game of Thrones' based on it. The regular hosts, Mimi, Ashleigh, Kyle, Chase and Amin are a fantastic ensemble, and they have a really great irreverent take on the series. They get guest hosts in almost every episode, including the guys behind Westeros.org and ToweroftheHand.com, and they discuss recent news about the books and the show, do a chapter by chapter summary of the books (an ongoing process slowed down by hijinks and Kyle's dramatic re-enactments), character discussions, crackpot theories and Amin's bizarre and often disturbing shipping of characters.

These guys are awesome - I particularly love Chase, he's so bitter and dark, and then he comes out with a passionate defense of 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic' or some other random thing (and he has a really sexy voice). And Mimi, who started the podcastway back in 2009 or somesuch, is just a fount of knowledge, and plays with knives. What's not to like? Go check them out:
