Welcome to HotD, the officially unofficial podcast for House of the Dragon on HBO. I'm Jim.

I'm Aeron.

And today we're doing our season one wrap-up.

We have a lot of feedback to cover. We want to talk a little bit about where the future

and perhaps the past of the Game of Thrones franchise is headed.

And a couple of other things. Give our hopes, our dreams, our fears, our thoughts on

what's going to happen with House of the Dragon next season. I'm excited. What about you?

I'm very excited. And this also turns out it's not going to be our last wrap-up podcast.

I'm going to be joining Kim Rinfro to... We couldn't... She's a busy, busy lady.

We couldn't get her rope down in time to do this podcast. So I expand her outline a bit.

Flesh that to conversation a little bit more. And we'll be talking the Wednesday after you hear this podcast.

And it'll be out the following week. So we'll have one more wrap-up. It'll be me and Kim Rinfro

of Insider and Cast of Kings fame. And we're going to be talking about our experiences co-hosting a show

with one... With dumb dumb co-hosts that don't read the books.

And we're going to be talking about the impact of the prophecies on Hot D this season.

And... Yeah, one thing that the transition into the outline proper. One thing I want to ask Kim is like,

what do we think the odds are that the community will largely remain unspoiled?

I thought the rad game of thrones for the most part, the community did very well when I talk about the book readers

keeping things out of the community from being spoiled. And I felt like late in the run when there were some episode leaks,

maybe that... But I don't think that was book readers to blame.

And I just want to give a warning that a lot of people are going back and missing game of thrones.
