Advertise on podcast: Kissed By Fire

Heyo! We had so much to say about HOTD S3 that we recorded a whole extra podcast for you! Stef and Beth breakdown the show as a whole, we talk likes and dislikes and make predictions for next season. Spoiler alert: we have no idea what the show is going to do. Genuine spoiler alert: SPOILERS ALL. We've loved covering this season with you. We will be back with normal service, reading through Fire And Blood very soon. 2026 has been an awesome year for ASOIAF content. We hope you've enjoyed it as much as we have. PEACE!

We're ALIIIVE! Been missing HOTD content? Well here's a bit more for you. Stef and Beth break down the final episode of Season 3 of House Of The Dragon. Rhaenyra has some stuff to deal with in Kings Landing and she's definitely totally sane about it and makes excellent decisions for sure. No doubt. Our hearts are broken by Haelaena. Daemon magically pole vaults from his horse to his dragon and back again. He also plans for battle and rouses his fighters. Meanwhile, Ormund Hightower reaches new lows with and gets a right northern f***ing. Roddy The Ruin: Rest In Power, my man. Oh, and Ulf gone TURNT. Spoilers all. Enjoy!

Stef's computer and life broke down so Beth stepped up and covered the latest episode of House Of Dragon. Stef hasn't listened to it yet and therefore has no idea what Beth has to say. Hopefully she answers the question of WHAT THE F**K IS THE TITLE ABOUT and also WHY IN THE F**K DO WE HAVE TO SEE MOTHERS F*****G THEIR SONS? Enjoy. The last episode of the season is on Sunday. Use this to enjoy the last couple of days before the season finale. As always: spoilers all.

We're nearly at the end of Season 3 of HOTD! This week there is more tinfoil about the latest episode, wild guessing as to what will come up as the season and the show progresses. We talk assassins, bitch-slaps, small council chaos, Beth gets fired for upsetting Stef (protect Haelaena!) and THAT OPENING SCENE. Bye, Felicia! Please enjoy and subscribe. SPOILERS ALL.

We're back with the latest instalment of our HOTD Season 3 coverage. Daemon Who (Doctor Who reference for you there) rouses his men but gets a nasty shock. Also, is he one of the few people actually occasionally making sense this episode? There's stuff about Alys and Aemond and his need for a mommy who can summon bats (I wish). Criston Cole is doing his best sad person impression. And Stef gets confused about an ASOIAF knight and a real world TV chef! Oh, and Rhaenyra is losing her grip. On the people, and maybe even her mental health? Who knows. It's probably not going to get any better with Ormund in Tumbleton grooming Daeron and spouting more unhinged stuff. Ah well. It'll all work out okay in the end. Right? As always, spoilers all. Enjoy!

It's Tumbleton Time! But is it? Ormund Hightower does his best Patrick Bateman impression. Raenyra bans Ulf from going to the pub. Haelaena is pregonantay. Listen here for BWord and StefLyoness to break down all this and more from the latest episode of HOTD. Which is apt, considering Ormund conducts his business while in a hot bath. Talkin' 'bout HOT DEEEEE!!!!! Enjoy, people!

Episode 3, aka episode 1 of season 3 (in a way) had its ups and its downs. We had feelings and thoughts. Is Larys in the rats? Why does Haelaena not want to be in that room? Did Rhaenrya really need to get her period? We get inside the queen's mental state and chat all about what's going down in Kings Landing. And it ain't all pretty. Can't wait for episode 4. But in the meantime.... here is our analysis. Enjoy!

Enjoy Stef and Beth chatting all about the latest episode of House Of The Dragon! We spill the tea and have a great time doing it. Enjoy!

We're are back! Actually, this time it's just StefLyoness (sorry everyone) because Beth lost her voice at the time of recording and we wanted to make sure we got content to you about the HOTD Season 3 opener as soon as possible. We know we all can't get enough while the show is on. Here is Stef chatting nonsense about their thoughts on the show. They have many questions and require you all to get in touch to say what YOU think. Get ready for opinions on dragons and High Valyrian, THAT kiss (shudder), and so much more. Dracarys!

Here's your next episode! You may notice I left in a number of oopsies and bloopers. They were kinda funny so they stayed in. This week we are looking at a few more pages of Policy, Progeny and Pain from Fire and Blood (please do let us know if you are finding our fine tooth combing of this chapter tedious in any way!). Trigger warning: this is a sad episode. It's a funny chapter too, but there is the death of a child and not everyone is in the mood for that. We talk dragons and lore, Targaryens and illness, and Beth says "serving swamp" which may be the best thing anyone has ever said at any time ever. There's also a new cast of characters as Jaehaerys has to fill all the holes left in his court made by The Naughty Shivers. In addition we have a bit of food chat in the middle thanks to a great question we got from Sanrixian. Stef gets waaaay over excited about it. Enjoy! And get in touch about anything we talk about. BYYYEEEE!

Hello to you! Here is the next episode of Kissed By Fire! It's been a while, crocodile, but we're back with more content for your beautiful listening ears. This episode is depressing. Sorry. No other way to put that. It's got disease, doom, gloom and pretty gross death stuff. It ain't pretty. But we still manage to make (inappropriate?) jokes about it! This episode is also all about power, who believes they have it and how they really, really don't. Oh, and Stef nearly breaks up with Beth because of her terrible opinions again. When will Beth learn?! Also, sorry about Stef's audio. Their mic was being an absolute butthead but in the name of getting this out faster there wasn't much to be done. Please forgive us! As always, enjoy! Don't forget to get in touch with your comments or leave a nice review!

New Chapter Alert! We thought the last one was long... Well, this new one is in a whole new realm of chapter girth. We are taking 'The Long Reign, Jaehaerys and Alysanne: Policy, Progeny and Pain' little bit by little bit so we can cover it all in the depth we enjoy, without ruining ours and everyone's lives by making a 48 hour episode you have to listen to. In this instalment we head off and away from Kings Landing, following in the steps of curious adventurers. We leave behind Targaryens and dragons swapping them for the Hightowers and a certain Alys Westhill. But don't worry this episode is teeming with monsters of all sorts including krakens, leviathans and mystery beasts. We've also got Biblical storms, Greek mythology, gene splicing, and a whole host of tropical diseases we are sure GRRM enjoyed naming. Get in touch with any questions or comments. We hope you enjoy!

Here it is! The next episode for your lovely ears. This is the moment we close the chapter, "Jaehaerys And Alysanne: Their Triumphs and Tragedies". We recorded this earlier in November and we were beset by several technical issues, including Stef's audio/internet totally failing for a good while. So apologies for the slow speed of getting this one out and for the fact Stef actually disappears for about 15 minutes at one point. Oops. But fear not! Because Beth was not alone! We had a guest. An absolute legend in the fandom, Lady Gwyn, from none other than Radio Westeros. She was there to help us close out this awesome section of the book. With her we talked Crumpets and Strumpets and the scariest castle in all of Westeros: The Nightfort. There was some Alyanne vs Rhaena chat and we wondered what really happened when some of the people... ummm.... dickered? This was a hard episode for Beth because this part is where Alysanne, who receives a very frosty welcome in the north, is undeniably amazing, seeing as she changes the fate of Westeros forever. We heart you Alysanne! Trigger warning: this episode contains mentions of rape and domestic violence.

Feast your ears around our latest episode! It's great to be back covering Fire And Blood after the summer off covering HOTD. We continue our read through of the chapter, "Jaehaerys And Alysanne: Their Triumphs And Tragedies". This time we see the final years of Rhaena (sorry Beth), babies are born, patriarchy lives on, Barth gets a new job and immediately has a rather threatening away-day in Braavos, AND Alysanne ventures north to spend time with House Manderly. Expect chat about Faceless Men, a Mrs Doubtfire impression, Stef's obsession with smells, a hilarious Patreon question and... dun dun dunnnnn! Beth slips on her tinfoil hat and is reluctant to give it up. As always, enjoy and leave a comment or get in touch to chat about the episode with us! patreon.com/user?u=80234533

And we're back. It's the episode we've been excited to bring to you since we recorded way back in May! Patreons already have it, and now you can listen to this super special episode featuring none other than one of the most amazing human beings in all of the universe, Sanrixian. She joins us to break down all things dragon into sexy detail. This episode is genuinely excellent and full of juice. We read a bit more about Rhaena and what she's been up to, and ALSO her lover and Alys Westhill and her crazy plans. Biggest news in the seven kingdoms is that Balerion has been sighted again. That's right. Aerea is back. And it ain't good. Grab your favourite comforting drink and food, wrap yourself up cosy, because this is going to get weird. GRRM's horror writing at its best, some might say. As a result of what happens we get super into Dragonlore and all kinds of stuff, some tin foil, some less so. It was before GRRM released the new stuff about dragons, so who knows if we were correct about anything!? Enjoy!
