What is discussed at the start of this section?
Greetings, and welcome to House of R, a Ringerverse podcast on the Ringer Podcast Network. I'm Mallory Rubin. Joining me today, now that she's had a profound thought, if anyone would care to listen, it's the biggest Lionel Baratheon fan we know, Joanna Robinson. That's me. It is.
Hello.
Had to start with a Lionel reference for you.
Thank you.
It was the only way. We are here to dive deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep into the season premiere of of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and we will do that right after this.
Okay, we're here, we're back in Westeros. Before we get to it, let's quickly refresh on how we do this. How do we cover a Game of Thrones television show?
The cornucopia of content that we have available. Sunday night. Yes. Talk the Thrones. Wow. With candles.
There are candles. Tapestries. Like mini crowns. Love that for us. Some dragon eggs. And of course, most importantly of all, Chris Ryan. The best set deck of all, Chris Ryan. It's true. It's true. Talk the Thrones will be available immediately after every episode of A Night of the Seven Kingdoms.
What are the main themes introduced in Dunk's journey?
And then we will be here in the House of R for our deep dives. Typically... End of the night on Tuesdays, those will be available for you to begin consuming in full. We were a little delayed this week. Appreciate everybody's patience. The Watch, checking in on Mondays. The Midnight Boys, pew, pew, checking in on Mondays. Check out what Riley McAtee is writing on TheRinger.com. What a great website. As always, we are all thrilled to be back in a land of ice and fire. Spoiler warning. Let's refresh on how we handle that as well.
Yeah.
The bulk of this pod is a spoiler-free, spoiler-safe experience. We, of course, incorporate book quotes and book materials, and we will shortly refresh everybody on what we are adapting here, what Ira Parker and co. are adapting here, as we go, because we're providing context and insights. But anything that happens in the future of the novella We're not going to be talking about it until the end of the podcast in a book spoiler look ahead section. And there will be a warning. I don't know what Carlos has in mind this time. Will it be flashy, loud sirens?
Something that terrifies people as they're driving? Drop the sponge while you're doing your dishes sort of moment? Probably. Perhaps.
You will be warned before we get into the book spoiler section. Everything until then is... Safe, hospitable, hopefully entertaining and informative space. Yeah, bread and salt for everyone. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. That always goes fine. Joanna. Yes. How can everybody follow along?
What a great question. So glad you asked me. Listen, why don't you just subscribe to the podcast? It's a great idea. What does that mean? You can listen to it. That's something that people still do with podcasts sometimes. Or you can watch it. We're on YouTube. We're on Spotify. There's a number of places where you can listen to us. Subscribe to our social channels. There will be breakouts from Talk the Thrones, from House of R, throughout the season for you to check out on TikTok or Instagram or wherever you get your social media. We are not in charge of you. You can do what you want. And then email us. Yes. The inbox is open. Hobbits, and even though there are none in this show, dragons at gmail.com. Hobbitsanddragons at gmail.com.
So you're not updating the inbox to? Hobbitsandpuppetdragons at gmail.com? No. As much as I love a puppet. All right. It doesn't really roll trippingly off the tongue the way that Hobbits and Dragons do.
Okay. The inbox is the same. The inbox is open. Thank you for your emails for this pod. And we look forward to hearing from everybody throughout the entire season. We love the bad babies. We do. We love the bad babies. Anything else on the programming reminders front, spoiler warning front, how to follow, how to email, anything else?
How does Dunk's relationship with Egg develop?
I don't think so. You know, our release cadence will be what it is.
Yeah, we're figuring some things out. Yeah, yeah. We're figuring some things out. I guess I'll explain why. I'll try. Forgive me. Be patient with me.
