This is the podcast where we preview the Thrones episode to come.

And today we have a lot to get to as we break down what to expect in season 8, episode

5, the penultimate hour of Game of Thrones.

I'm Zach Kramm and joining me like Khyburn as a rational man.

It's Riley McAtee.

Wow, that feels like a real burn toward me, man. I love

Kyburn. Kyburn is one of my favorite characters on the show. No, he's a freak.

So we're changing things up a bit this week. Instead of offering a theory of the week and keys

to the

game for the most important characters, we're answering your questions in a special

mailbag episode. Thanks so much because all of you listeners submitted a ton of interesting

questions and theories. So that's coming up in the second half of the pod. But for now, we're going to

start, as always, by diving into next on Game of Thrones.

So heading into episode five, we can assume we have a battle coming between the good guys and

Circe.
