Dragon ’Cast returns to Westeros with the premiere of HBO’s A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, exploring a quieter, more personal corner of George R. R. Martin’s world. In this episode, Rennie, Veronica, and Wendy cover “The Hedge Knight,” discussing the introduction of Dunk and Egg, the meaning of knighthood beyond titles, and how this series shifts the focus away from dragons and thrones toward character, honor, and moral choice. They examine the tone of the show, the world it establishes, and how it compares to earlier Westeros stories. As always, Dragon ’Cast delivers thoughtful analysis, adaptation discussion, and thematic exploration as the journey begins. Next up: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms S1E2 “Hard Salt Beef”.

In this episode of Dragon ’Cast, Rennie and Wendy return with guest host Alex to break down A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Season 1 Episode 2, “Hard Salt Beef,” an episode that leans heavily into character, memory, and momentum as Dunk continues his quest to enter the tourney circuit. The discussion centers on Dunk’s shifting recollections of Ser Arlan — what he remembers, what he may be rewriting in his own mind, and how those memories shape his understanding of knighthood and legitimacy. The hosts examine how Dunk’s desire to join the lists reflects both ambition and insecurity, and how the episode balances earnest longing with humor. Egg once again proves himself an elite wing man, and the panel digs into how his quick thinking, confidence, and social instincts repeatedly smooth Dunk’s rough edges. Wendy unabashedly leans into her growing obsession with Lyonel, while Rennie shares his enthusiasm for how the adaptation is handling tone, character, and pacing so far. Alex highlights the comedic beats of the episode, discussing how humor is used not to undercut the story, but to deepen it. Next up: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms S1E3 “The Squire”.

I (Jason) and A.Ron of the Bald Move Game of Thrones podcast (baldmove.com) had the great fortune to moderate a panel with the amazing Gwendoline Christie. She was so energetic and passionate, and went in depth on many subjects, including: What it was like working with the bear at Harrenhal. How it's been for her to change her look to play Brienne, and where Brienne's beauty comes from. How she trained and prepared to play Brienne, and what it's like getting into charcter. The relationship between Brienne and Jaime, and what it was like to film the bath scene. Who she thinks should have the crown. Who she'd most want Brienne to fight. And a lot more. Enourmous thanks to James of The Walker Stalkers (walkerstalkercon.com) for bringing us in to do the panel and for allowing us to use the audio.
