Raven On: A Pop Culture Podcast

It's been more than FIVE MONTHS since Nat & Stu have seen each other, which means a catch-up podcast is LONG OVERDUE. Strap yourselves in though, this is a long one. But you've got pause and stop buttons, and you're sensible humans, you can listen in whatever fashion you like. There's about half an hour of general chit-chat, including tales of Natalie's theatrical adventures around the globe. Examining the end of Game of Thrones, the highs and lows, as well as what's happening with the sequel/prequel series takes up the bulk of the middle. Nat & Stu then delve into the new "Watchmen" series, discussing the first two episodes. There are plenty of tangents, of course, and Natalie asks that you forgive her potential self-indulgent pretentiousness. Stu is, as always, a perfect podcaster in every way. Oh, and the explanation for "abnomaly" comes in around the 15.30 minute mark, in case you're interested.

A special LIVE performance of the GoT theme kicks off the final Raven On Live podcast, marking the final episode of the best TV show ever. Wendy Lang and Zannah(@wendylangmusic & @zannahmusic on Insta)return later in the episode to debut Zannah's new song "Bones Lay Still", a beautiful GoT-inspired piece that we were privileged to enjoy. Yes, this is the LONGEST episode ever of the podcast, but who wants to edit when there is so much love in the room - from Nat's audience-assisted Diet Coke habit, to Stu's Tormund Giantscake. There's surprisingly actual talk about the episode too, and where all of our favourites wind up. What a ride it's been! Thanks to everyone who has listened - whether live at the Brisbane Powerhouse, or in the privacy of your own podcast app - Nat & Stu very much appreciate it. They'll return soon enough for a wrap-up podcast, after having some time to process the entirety of the season. Plus they have plans in store for more podcasts, so stay tuned!

It's flame time on Raven On, as not only do Nat & Stu discuss the huge events of "The Bells", including Daenerys' epic decision, but they also lay the foundations for their own long-awaited feud. With a fantastic live studio audience, Nat & Stu tackle the big issues of plot development, character arcs, Clegane Bowl, and whether Jon Snow should have just had sex with his auntie and saved everyone a whole lotta mess. Plus questions from the audience and a final episode of the short-lived sitcom "Cersei & Qyburn Try To Make This Work". Thanks to Mary Mae's Bar & Kitchen at Brisbane Powerhouse for hosting us - come down on Tuesday 21 May for the final ever live episode for the final episode of Game of Thrones!

They're back, with much ruminating to do! Nat & Stu reconvene in front of a live audience to discuss the fallout from "The Last of the Starks". With Dany losing another dragon and a trusted adviser, will she go full Mad Queen? Will Varys and Tyrion betray her? Why did Jon Snow not say goodbye to his loyal wolf Ghost? How good is Tormund at just everything? All that is just the beginning - plus there's the last ever episode of "Living at Home with Grey Worm and Missandei", sadface. Only two more episodes left - you can join us at the Brisbane Powerhouse on Tuesday nights from 7pm!

TORMUND GIANTSBANE IS ALIVE! That's pretty much the only thing Stu cares about after the epic battle of "The Long Night", but he and Nat still find a lot more to chat about in this week's live podcast. Arya stabbing! Bran warging! Melisandre flaming! A bunch of people unexpectedly surviving! Plus, we were treated to an amazing musical performance by Wendy and Zannah, who sang "Jenny of Oldstones" so beautifully. It will give you chills! Make sure to check out @wendylangmusic and @zannahmusic on Instagram to see more of their work.

Valar Morghulis has never seemed so real as we approach The Great Big F***-Off Final Battle. Nat & Stu are joined by an enthusiastic crowd who want to process all the quiet hope and despair in this episode, and also to boo Natalie's puns, apparently. There's an episode quiz, audience input AND a big survey on who we think will live or die in the Battle for Winterfell. Plus the (highly likely) final instalment of "Living at Home with Grey Worm and Missandei". Get the tissues and copious alcohol ready for next week's onslaught!

Valar Morghulis! Valar Dohaeris! Your loving servants of the Old Gods, New Gods, Red God, Drowned God, Many-Faced God, and God of Death, Nat & Stu are BACK! Game of Thrones Season Eight is finally here, and your two recapodcasters (sure, that's a word) have returned to get super excited about all things Westeros, and super scared about the impending end of the best show ever. There's lots of setting things up this week, moving chess pieces into place, but also some moments we weren't expecting, such as dragon-riding, and big revelations, such as a certain brooding former-King-in-the-North's family history. Plus the threatened new segment, "Cersei & Qyburn Try To Make This Work". This is Nat & Stu's first ever LIVE podcast recording too - and thanks to our amazing first audience! If you're in Brisbane, come down to Mary Mae's Bar at the Brisbane Powerhouse every Tuesday night from 7pm to catch the live recording of Raven On! It's FREE!

They're back! With just a few precious days until Game of Thrones Season 8 starts, Nat & Stu catch up for a chat about all things Westeros ahead of the beginning of the end. They chat about trailers and other publicity HBO has been drip-feeding to we thirsty fans, relive older episodes in a blaze of nostalgia, plus many, many sidebars. And there's a new in-podcast sitcom! Get ready for "Cersei & Qyburn Try To Make This Work"! (It'll make sense when you listen. Maybe). Enjoy, and thanks for listening!

Happy 2019, everyone! Nat & Stu are joined by special guests Nick Wiggins and Greg Rowbotham to mine over the last episode of Season 11, and first (only?) episode of 2019 - "Resolution". This is a particularly long listen, so maybe jump on the treadmill, or bike, or scooter, or do some cleaning - basically settle in for a deep dive into the nerd pool. Thanks to everyone for listening to Who's Raven On this season - no doubt we'll see you more in 2019! Have a wonderful year.

It's finally here - the long-talked about, possibly foolish, self-penned episode of Doctor Who: "Jefferson Starfish". When the Doctor and Stu accidentally wind up in London on New Year's Day 1889, they're startled to discover Jack the Ripper might be back. But soon twists reveal a different culprit at play, bent on an EXPLOSIVE revenge! Featuring cameos from real-life historical figures such as Inspector Abberline and police surgeon Thomas Bond, "Jefferson Starfish" should you have hooked as least as much as one of the shabbier episodes of Doctor Who S11. Featuring Nat & Stu as "The Doctor" and "Stu", as well as the vocal talents of Nick Wiggins, Scott Driscoll and Gregory Rowbotham. Tremble in fear at... JEFFERSON STARFISH!

All good things must come to an end - even a "mostly fine? It was fine, wasn't it?" season of Doctor Who. Join Nat & Stu for their final S11 recap podcast, in which they wade in to the Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos, get reacquainted with Tim Shaw, and Joining the team for one last trip in the TARDIS is Greg from the Smart Enough to Know Better podcast, who helps the hosts muse over Jodie Whittaker's debut season, and some of the ups and downs therein. This won't be the last podcast - we've still got to record our masterpiece self-generated Doctor Who story "Jefferson Starfish", plus we'll return for the New Year's Eve special. But thank you all for joining in for this podcast through space and time (in particular time, as hooooo boy these really blow out in length).

Nat & Stu go to Norway for magic mirrors, alternate dimensions, crap creepy monsters and COSMIC FROGS! Yes, it's another pretty good episode, is "It Takes You Away". There are also plenty of tangents this week because your hosts were in weird moods. Natalie rants about Coca-Cola and is inflicted over Zac Efron as Ted Bundy; while Stu is still riding BIG COW all the way to the paddock. Enjoy!

Nat & Stu are back, and they're on Skype again! Forgive the odd technical glitch as they VOIP it up and discuss "The Witchfinders". Nat also goes on a typical Nerdy History Rant, Stu muses over the gender implications of the Doctor becoming a woman finally seeing the light of day, the pair both praise the devil out of Alan Cumming's King James, and ponder what the final two episodes might hold. Enjoy!

Kerblam! Nat and Stu are joined by journalist and Doctor Who fan Nick Wiggins for a look at this subtle examination of human labour versus robotic efficiency OR massive dig at/exoneration of Amazon. Stu is cranky that the key message is that mega-corporations have it right, and that you shouldn't rebel, just be happy you have a job. Nick brings an intriguing season-arc theory to the table, which is cleverer than anything Nat & Stu have come up with. Meanwhile Nat seems mostly excited about next week's episode about witch hunts, judging by the amount of times she references medieval woodcuts. Enjoy!

Welcome back to Who's Raven On, where this week Nat & Stu declare "Demons of the Punjab" to be their best-liked episode so far this season, and not just because of CRUMPET. However, as expected, there are some flaws and questions about this episode, and the broader question of how interventionist the Doctor should be, particularly when fake personal histories are mixed in with real historical events. Also Natalie talks a lot about her own Gran, plus the attempt to develop a Doctor Who episode takes another, potentially grim, turn. Enjoy!

Tiny hungry space monsters and strangely undermined plot points form key talking points of this week's Who's Raven On podcast. Nat & Stu are puzzled by an episode that had lots of promising parts, but somehow left them both with more questions than answers. Plus there's a special appearance from guest podcaster, Chloe Giantsbane!

SPIDERS! GIANT SPIDERS! RAP MUSIC! MR BIG! It's all happening on this week's episode, as Nat & Stu wrap their hairy legs around toxic Sheffield spiders and irresponsible yet ebullient capitalism. There's a bit of talk about how Stu & Nat feel Jodie Whittaker is travelling as the Doctor, plus a lot of talk about writing their own episode involving starfish. Tune in for more development as we go along!

The Doctor is back in time and hooooooooooo it's complicated. Join Nat & Stu - and special guest Dan Beeston from the Smart Enough to Know Better podcast - as they talk about "Rosa". They are, of course, all very white, and are very aware that they may accidentally offend given the subject matter of the episode - race in America - is just a *teensy* bit incredibly complicated and loaded. There are a few inevitable tangents, and Natalie continues to struggle against the march of time by insisting she is still relevant and "hip with the kids".

Nat & Stu are coming to you via Skype this week, but that doesn't stop them throwing down some incisive commentary on Doctor's accidental visit to Desolation in "The Ghost Monument". Art Malik has a lot of fun as the organiser of an intergalactic space rally, the TARDIS gets a makeover, and what is "The Timeless Child"? All that and more nitpicking from Nat in this week's podcast.

Nat & Stu crash through the train ceiling of charming adventure drama with their first podcast of the new and womanly improved series of Doctor Who. Hear their thoughts on Jodie Whittaker as the new Doctor, the change in theming, tone and music, a lowdown on companions, plus special guest Greg from the Smart Enough to Know Better weighs in on that toothy villain. As the Doctor herself says: "Well, this'll be fun!"

Nat and Stu are back, and it's FANTASTIC! (They hope) Your intrepid Game of Thrones tragics are filling Westeros void by jumping onboard the TARDIS train and doing a podcast about the new season of Doctor Who - you know, the one with the WOMAN! A WOMAN! Can you even imagine, goodness gracious, what on Gallifrey is going on? Anyway, this is a preview/introductory podcast in which Nat and Stu discuss their history with the good Doctor, some thoughts on the impending season, and a fairly good chunk of Game of Thrones chat because they just can't help themselves. Thank you for listening!

Well, stone the crows, if it isn't a wildly out-of-season Raven On episode! Natalie and Stu decided to get together for some old-fashioned banter, as well as introduce Stu's newborn daughter CHLOE GIANTSBANE to the world of amateur podcasting. It's been a year since S7 ended, and who knows how much longer we have until S8 takes GoT out of our lives together, so strap in for some poorly-researched ramblings about anything vaguely related to our favourite folks from Westeros and beyond. There's also, as usual, many tangents onto other subjects, including Nat's forthcoming adventure, and internet culture. Thanks for listening!

Deja vu, it's another Raven On S7E7 podcast! As promised, this is the full, "Hey they're in the room together" finale rundown that Stu and Nat promised before Nat selfishly went to New York and disrupted the usual schedule. There's a bit of chat about recapping New York-style, then onto the episode itself, Jon Snow's buttocks, and the BOAT SEX between blood relatives. Littlefinger's demise is welcomed and revelled in (almost a little too much), and everybody is thrilled with Jaime's intense face-acting, and eventual decision to ditch Cersei. Nat & Stu are determined at some stage to either start another podcast, or do something else GoT-related while they wait and wait and wait for Season 8. If you have any thoughts, feel free to suggest them!

With Natalie in New York for the big GoT S7 finale, she and Stu catch up via the wonders of VOIP for this intermediary podcast. They discuss the potential fall out from the Jon/Dany Boning Potential reaching 100% likelihood, and Natalie's strong reactions to said boning (so strong she didn't even take time to appreciate gratuitous ass shots). They also chat a bit about the very timely justice that was brought to Littlefinger and the Ice Dragon bringing the Wall down with mighty ice-fire. Or fire-ice. Whatevs. A full podcast will follow in early September once Nat & Stu can get back in the same room and EMOTE their little hearts out. Enjoy this one in the meantime!

Something's in the frozen water as Nat and Stu get as giggly as helium-sucking schoolgirls in this week's Raven On. But then, this was the episode with man-banter, and zombies, and dragon rescues, and the Night King's epic darts effort, and an ice dragon, and goo-goo eyes, and JON SNOW'S ABS. We can forgive all the time-jump craziness for that, surely? There's a few diversions into Sherlock Holmes territory and the perils of writing song parodies to terrible songs. And a heads up: Natalie will be in New York for the final episode of S7. She and Stu will attempt a brief podcast via Skype which will be uploaded here; but a full podcast debrief will happen once she's back in Brisbane in early September. VALAR PODCASTIS!

Stop. For Nat & Stu, it's Hammer Time. Yes, a beloved long-missed character makes his return in this eventful episode that somehow managed to not have a big event. But there was the fall out from the loot train battle of last episode, and the promise of exciting wild men adventures next episode. In between, there was discord at Winterfell, Jaime and Cersei celebrating a little lion in the oven (or is it a fake news pregnancy?), Sam getting shirty at being ignored by the Maesters and not realising it when he does the very same to Gilly, Jorah returning to Dany only to shove off again, Jon being hunky and touching a dragon, and Davos being an all-around top bloke and witty raconteur. You'll be pleased to know Natalie keeps her lengthy divergent ramblings to a minimum this week because there's just so gosh darn much to get through. Enjoy!

It's a rather screechy start to this week's podcast, as Nat and Stu express their excitement at the EPIC F***ING FINALE of that episode. The Dothraki charge at an unprepared Lannister army! Drogon starting the biggest flame war since Gamergate! Bronn wielding a huge weapon that isn't his personal organ! Drogon shot in the shoulder! Jaime charging at Dany! Jaime falling into the lake! It's almost all too much, except for Stu, who could do it all over again and call it ice-cream. There's also another Stark reunion, Bran behaving strangely, Arya fighting Brienne, Cersei seducing the Iron Bank and Dickon learning about the perils of war. Join Nat & Stu for all that, and the odd Aladdin sing along.

They're back, and they're excited! Dany and Jon finally met in person, and so Nat and Stu - who've been meeting in person now for years - are keen to discuss it. Well, mostly keen to discuss Jon's clifftop brooding and Tyrion's zingers. Our intrepid GoT natterers pay floral tributes to Olenna Tyrell, discuss the crazy geographical criss-crossings of the Greyjoy fleet and Lannister army, and do their best impressions of Emo Bran. There's much more, including some fairly poor-taste humour involving Euron, Cersei, Jaime and a number of orifices. Apologies in advance.

HOT PIE is back, and to celebrate, here's a steaming hot Raven On recap podcast. Nat & Stu delve deep into the politics of game-playing - from Dany's LARP table in Dragonstone, to Jon's courtly chess in Winterfell. Arya tries to teach an old dog new tricks, and Euron proves he is the new king of Battleship. Plus there's a VERY awkward episode of "Living at Home with Grey Worm and Missandei" which is worth the price of admission alone. And it's free, so yeah, it's worth about that much.

IT'S FINALLY HERE! Season Seven has arrived, and Stu and Nat couldn't be more excited if you plonked a stark naked Jon Snow in front of them. Well, in front of Nat anyway. This is a fresh, piping Hot Pie podcast served basically unedited to ensure it gets in your earholes fast and furiously, so excuse any errors (and a random Shakespeare soliloquy). Our intrepid hosts discuss Arya's FEROCIOUS FREY FRENZY; Cersei's GIANT WAR ROOM FLOOR MAP; Euron's PROPOSAL; Jon, Sansa and their TOTALLY FINE RELATIONSHIP; the sexfulness that is TORMIENNE, Dany's Dragonstone-coming; and SO MUCH MORE. Gods, it's good to be back. Valar Morghulis!

Welcome to a very special extra podcast! Nat and Stu team up for their first ever collab podcast, with Dan & Greg from Smart Enough to Know Better - a podcast of science, comedy and ignorance. Greg runs through his "Jorah is Azor Ahai" theory, while Dan retools a popular SE2KB segment for Westeros. Enjoy the banter!

Well folks, this is a long one. Natalie is the middle of a impending-Season-Seven-induced mania, and her obsessions with Jon Snow are starting to take disturbing turns. OK, more disturbing turns. The result is a lot of chatter. A note on times with this one - Nat and Stu spend the first 15 minutes or so chatting about Natalie's recent victory at a GoT trivia night, then there's a few minutes about the aforementioned disturbing elements, before a lengthy diversion into James Bond territory. If you want to skip straight to GoT S6 recap goodness, skip forward to the 35 minute mark. There's SO much to talk about: Dany and her burning escape from Vaes Dothrak and her dragon attack on the Masters at Meereen; Jon Snow coming back to life; Jon Snow reunited with Sansa; the Battle of the Bastards; Jon Snow as King in the North; the flashback that proved R+L = Jon Snow. There's more than Jon Snow, of course, but... yeah. Also Natalie apologises for saying "Toto by Africa" instead of "Africa by Toto". It was due to mania and tiredness but still, a shocking oversight.

With S7 now just two weeks away, Natalie and Stu are into the home stretch of season recaps. This week it's Season 5, famous for a little thing called THE FOUL AND UNJUST MURDER OF JON SNOW. Oh yeah... um... spoilers? Join our intrepid Westerosi correspondents and catch up on all the hard-hitting highs and home truths of Hardhome, more best made plans gang agley for Cersei, the Dorne Bros and their pointless (?) storyline, Arya in Braavos, Tyrion and Jorah trying to cosy up to Dany, the return of Drogon - plus a fairly serious chat about THAT Sansa/Ramsay sequence. Along the way there's talk of trivia competitions, Australian cliches, and something called "Thrones and the City"?

It's a shocking display from Natalie this week as she completely fails to remember most of the important events/plot points of Season 4. Lucky Stu is here, as usual, to set things right. Oberyn Martell and the Viper/Hound showdown, the Purple Wedding, Tyrion on trial and the deaths of Shae and Tywin, Littlefinger and Sansa head to the Eyrie, Arya and the Hound buddy-adventure through the Riverlands and Vale, Jon Snow & the Night's Watch take on the Wildlings in the ferocious Battle of Castle Black, and f***ing Ollie enters our lives, only to end Ygritte's. It's a corker of a season, so that explains why this podcast is slightly longer than planned. So much banter!

Clearly nothing much happened in Season 3 of "Game of Thrones", so why Nat & Stu are even bothering..... except of course THE RED WEDDING and JAIME'S HAND and JON AND YGRITTE AND THE CAVE and EVERYTHING ELSE. There's so many storylines and our intrepid Thronecasters fail to cover them all in the depth they deserve, but by crikey they give it a shot.

Your $1 per recap payment goes towards things like our Soundcloud subscription, equipment, and much more. It is appreciated. It is KNOWN. If you want to sign up, head to www.patreon.com/girlclumsy

Join Nat & Stu as they kick off a discussion about Season 2, sometimes forgotten, but always awesome. There's talk of Jaqen H'ghar and Arya's deathly deal, Jon Snow's adventures north of The Wall, the Battle of Blackwater Bay, Melisandre's shadow baby, Robb Stark's seemingly so positive war record, Dany's dreary-ish story arc, and for some reason, a deep dive into what Qarth must be like these days. Thanks to all of you who subscribe to the Patreon account for the Raven On recaps. The recaps will be published free, but your support helps makes them - and bonus content like these podcasts - happen.

Annnnnnnnnnd they're back! Natalie & Stuart return for some pre-season vocal warm-ups: weekly season-by-season recaps of Game of Thrones so far. This week they chat about 2011's Season 1, including some of the controversies about the show's style and portrayal of certain characters, as well as looking back on how some of our favourites started as our most hated. There's also random chats about how they both got into the show, general nerd stuff, Doctor Who, Jane Austen, breaking computers and more!

A special treat* for all Beloved Throners today! I've been staying with my Gran, the esteemed Queen Pat, in Port Vila for the past few days. During a storm yesterday, I was able to sit her down and watch the first two episodes of Game of Thrones with her - she'd never seen it! Afterwards I recorded a special PATcast with her about her thoughts on our crazy show. Please keep in mind it was quite late and Gran was a bit tired, so it's mostly me rambling at her and trying to get her thoughts. But it's reasonably entertaining. Valar Morghulis! *I don't know if it's a treat. It IS a lot of me rambling, so take it as you find it.

Beloved Throners! Get ready for a very special surprise end-of-year, out-of-season Raven On podcast! Nat & Stu (currently with broken ankle) were very lucky to score a one-on-one chat with actor Michael Condron, aka Bowen Marsh of the Night's Watch from Game of Thrones! Michael has been in Brisbane starring in the hilarious stage show "Graeme of Thrones" at the Brisbane Powerhouse Wonderland festival. The show is playing until Saturday December 10: http://brisbanepowerhouse.org/events/2016/11/30/graeme-of-thrones/ Suit up, strap on and get ready for a fantastic 45 minutes of insider information including: *Shooting epic scenes such as the death of Mance Raydar, the stabbing of The Brooding One and his own death sequence *The spookiness of the Castle Black set in cold weather *Bloody Olly *How reaction videos are like football games *The amazingness of his fellow cast members including Liam Cunningham and Kit Harrington. *Not one single question about Jon Snow's abs Thanks to the Powerhouse and the Graeme of Thrones team for helping us make this happen - we hope you enjoy it!

An EPIC podcast to cover an EPIC season finale. This one clocks in at nearly 90 minutes, so grab a drink and settle in for talk central as Nat & Stu forensically comb through both the wreckage of the Sept of Baelor and "The Winds of Winter" as a whole. There's a few detours along the way, of course, including some serious revelations about Natalie's rebellious teenage years. That's right - she once passed a note in class. How subversive. Thank you all once again for tuning in every week to our talkfest, and a special shout out to everyone who's left brilliant reviews on our iTunes page. If you were a Game of Thrones character, you'd be Lyanna Mormont. That's how GOOD you are.

The moment is almost upon us! The final episode of Game of Thrones Season 6. Join Nat and Stu for this (out of character) short preview podcast ahead of the final showdown for this season. It's fast, it's fiery, it's something else starting with an "f".

Now THAT was an episode! Join Nat & Stu as they "unpack" (Stu's new favourite word)this epic Episode 9. All the drama, humour and dragon fire of Meereen, then all the bloody and visceral action of the Battle for Winterfell. We say goodbye to some beloved characters, and a "Don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out" to some others. Guess which ones. Go on, guess. We also take a slight meander down a World of Warcraft path, for those of you who think fantasy and video gaming is nothing without resource management.

Welcome to our first ever live podcast! Having reached a significant goal on Patreon, Natalie & Stuart donned shonky AF costumes and recorded this podcast via Facebook Live. That's why you'll hear them stopping to read comments, but won't actually hear a live studio audience. It's just Nat & Stu laughing at each other's jokes again. This episode sees Arya get her groove back, Brienne and Jaime reunite in a frission of excitement, the overrun of Riverrun, and Cersei getting boned in the Red Keep (but not in the usual manner).

Natalie is still editing the Live S6E8 podcast to make it suitable for uploading. It turns out trying to speak into a camera and a microphone at the same time makes for a real pain-in-the-ass situation when it comes to editing. In the meantime, please enjoy this random rap about the 19th century London physician John Snow. Yes, that's right. John Snow. With MASSIVE apologies to Lin-Manuel Miranda and "Hamilton".

Woof, woof! Join Natalie and Stu as they discuss the return of the Big Dawg himself - alongside veteran awesome guy Ian McShane. There's rejoicing in the kickass babeness of Lady Olenna and Lady Mormont, a Magical Mystery tour of the North, Margaery being told to lie back and think of Highgarden, and Jaime and Bronn in a stew at the siege of Riverrun. Also at some point Nat & Stu diverge into chatter about the superiority of 80s/90s cartoons, and how the kids these days will never understand. There's also more crackpot Azor Ahai theorising from Smart Enough to Know Better's own Greg Wah.

It's the soft and smooth sounds of easy listening in this week's podcast as Natalie and Stu delve deep into this breather episode of Game of Thrones. Arya gets her Needle back, Gilly gets a makeover, Sam gets assertive and Dany gets a monologue. Also there's no Jon Snow so Nat & Stu have a chat about Kit Harington's recent comments about being the victim of sexism.

This is why we can't have nice things. After such a fun, happy episode last week, Stu's prediction that it would all come crashing down was proven right with the tragic death of.... well, you probably know by now, but just in case, we won't spoil here. Join Stu and Natalie as they comb through "The Door" looking for any scraps of hope. There's also talk of the Ironborn's game show style method of choosing a monarch; Jorah and Dany have a Moment; and there's some fantastic live theatre on display. Also - sound the wang alarm! Don't forget you can support the Raven On recaps via www.patreon.com/girlclumsy

Rejoice, one and all, for it is happy times for (most of) our favourite characters in Game of Thrones this week. Jon! Sansa! Brimund! Tormienne! Daenarys, Mother of Kicking Ass and Taking Names! Join Natalie & Stu as they indulge in one of their most enthusiastic and joyful podcasts to date, full of laughs, gags, skits ("Living at Home with Grey Worm and Missandei") and random characters ("Kevan, the Aussie Westerossie"). Enjoy this hour long gabfest before everything goes to hell in a handbasket next week. Because you just know it will. We're not allowed to be happy for long...

Natalie and Stu are back, and damn, so is Jon Snow. Our intrepid pair discuss Jon's intrepid pair... of buttocks... and how he dealt with his murderers. You'll enjoy Stu's explosion of happiness at Olly's death. There's the reappearance of Rickon, the shirty Small Council, Varys and Qyburn's competing little birds, and a mega epic flashback sequence to the Tower of Joy. Natalie also discusses her recent outing to a Game of Thrones trivia night, and the key discovery she made that blew her mind. Don't forget to join the Facebook fun via: www.facebook.com/nataliesthrone And there's the Patreon too! www.patreon.com/girlclumsy

Praise the Old Gods and the New - he's back! Yes, Stuart is here again, joining Natalie for another Game of Thrones Raven On podcast. Oh yeah, and Jon Snow came back from the dead. Join these two tragics as they lovingly caress the stabbed body of Jon Snow to really penetrate the hows and whys of his comeback. There's also delight at Stampy the Giant and the Zombie Mountain's comedy smackdowns, joy at the return of Hodor, Bran and potential flashbacks, and some kitten interference.
