0:00.0	Hello everyone and welcome to a cast of Kings, an unofficial recap podcast about the HBO
0:05.0	original series Game of Thrones and the upcoming HBO original series House of the Dragon,
0:09.3	which is debuting on August 21st. I am David Chen and I haven't read most of the books in George
0:15.2	R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire and typically I'm joined by a Game of Thrones expert,
0:19.7	Joanna Robinson to discuss Game of Thrones. But as you probably know, Joanna Robinson is now
0:24.6	podcasting about Game of Thrones over at the Ring of Versa podcast. Be sure to check her out there.
0:30.0	But a cast of Kings is going to be continuing and I am so thrilled to announce that I have a new

1:11.2	especially in our earlier years. And we were so impressed with her and also if I was going to
1:18.0	continue this podcast, the cast of Kings, I knew I needed to have somebody who was going to be able
1:23.2	to tell me everything that's going on because I probably have no sense of who any of these people
1:28.0	are or what they're doing. And Kim Renfrow is the person that's going to guide us through that.
1:32.3	So Kim, we're so grateful that you signed on for this task and are going to help us walk through
1:38.0	all the stuff in House of the Dragon. So here is what we're going to do on this episode.
1:42.7	Our timing for this episode is a little bit off because I asked Kim to come to this episode and
1:48.6	prepare general notes around everything we know about House of the Dragon. You know, like who are
1:53.7	the main players and what's it going to be like and what are our speculations and so on.
