Game of Thrones is the last popular show. It is the last show that you can ask anyone about and they will know something about it. It captured a wide audience before video streaming services with their massive libraries catapulted into ubiquity and fragmented viewers that shows like Lost once united.
GoT is a complex and sprawling epic that tapered off at the end, but no one will doubt its ambition and cultural impact. Its legacy will be cemented in television history.
A great podcast for both economists and people who have no idea what that word means.
Episodes are the perfect length (approx. 20-30 mins each) and the low-key, conversational style and storytelling makes them both easily digestible and enjoyable.
Beyond the strong presentation, topics are (most importantly) also interesting, well-researched/edited, and broad spectrum.
8.8/10 - Very entertaining and a fantastic start to an excellent series. The Percy/Annabeth/Grover dynamic is at it's best here. The scenes in the Underworld and at Camp Half-Blood are the best parts of the novel, easily. Harry Potter similarities, sure, but still good enough to hold the competition. Percy's narration is witty and the Greek Myths are updateded superbly. The ending twist is genius. Shame the film's didn't turn out so well.
Always interesting and easy-to-digest. Great replay value too, as it's easy to forget little things after a while so I like to revisit episodes after some time and then enjoy learning them all over again. :)
