The Sound of Succession: Season 4 Episode 9 - Church and State

This episode tackles S4E9 - Church and State - and naturally contains MASSIVE spoilers and flowery language.


If you’ve never listened to us before, we began as a House of the Dragon pod, but need other things to watch while they’re faffing around making season 2.


We’re doing a rewatch of Game of Thrones and have covered the OA - we’re excited about getting a few more series under our belt before Westeros calls once more!


If you’d like to get involved in the podcast - just head over to twitter @dragoncast_pod or email dragoncast@daftdoris.com and leave us your Easter eggs, predictions and thoughts on the show.


Any support, whether it’s a follow, share, tattoo on your backside, is much appreciated.


Dragoncast is hosted by Jamie East along with the genius of Chris Mandle and is a Daft Doris Production - Dracarys!
