Hello and welcome to the Nauticast podcast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast that usually goes through a song of ice and fire, but not here.

I'm one of your hosts Emmett, also known as Poor Quentin.

And I'm your other host, Manu, also known as Manuil Nuclear Bomb.

And welcome to our coverage of Season 1 of A Night of the Seven Kingdoms, also known as Akatsk, also known as Duncan Egg, which is pretty much what we're going to be calling it the entire time.

Our third throne show on HBO, which has just landed here at the top of 2026.

Today we're going to be talking about season one, episode one,

The Hedge Knight, the premiere of the whole show.

If you're just joining us, welcome.

We generally cover the books, the Song of Ice and Fire books that was turned into Game

of Thrones.

We cover those chapter by chapter.

We're going through book four right now, A Feast for Crows. We're about 60% of the way. We're so through that. Now we're taking a break, of course, to cover season one of Akatsk, aka Duncan Egg. After the show is over, we're going to be getting back to our regularly scheduled programming going through a Feast for Crows. So please stick around and check out those episodes if you haven't before. We got great stuff coming. You're way in a Feast for Crow. So please stick around and check out those episodes if you haven't before. We got great stuff coming your way in a Feast for Crows. Still,

Jamie going out to the Riverlands again, the Spara movement rising up in Kings Landing. We just

covered the Broken Man chapter with Brienne, but she's got some great chapters still coming down

the pike as well. So please do check those out.

You may, uh, if you're coming back, if you're not a cast veteran, you may recall us doing show

coverage before on House of the Dragon, the first couple seasons of that. Third season of that will be

coming out later this year and we'll be doing a very similar release schedule again for that. We're

going to be doing these episodes,

generally the day after the episode of the show airs, and then turning it out first for patrons,

and then for everybody else. So check out our Patreon, if you haven't already, at patreon.com
