The secret is out: almost no one among the cast of actors playing still-living Game of Thrones characters has read George RR Martin’s bestselling bullet-stopper novels on which their scripts are. Heralded as the “longest running podcast” about Game of Thrones and A Song of Ice and Fire, A Podcast of Ice and Fire was started in 2008 because the hosts couldn’t wait until the next book (editor note: sigh). Part comedy, part analysis, hosts Mimi, Ashley, Amin, and Kyle created an excellently-produced podcast for show watchers and book.

Dotrice first came to Westeros when he became the narrator for audiobook versions of George R. R. Martin’sA Song of Ice and Fire. Beginning with A Game of Thrones, Guinness awarded him the world record for providing the “most character voices for an audiobook” in 2004, as over the course of the 33-hour book he voiced 224 distinct characters.
