Close the Door: Game of Thrones, A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast

You guessed it—time to check in on George R. R. Martin and the state of The Winds of Winter in the year of our Lord 2026. The news isn’t good—or is it? Opinions are split.

Join us to read the tea leaves of blog posts and offhand GRRM quotes, with a smattering of Jaime and Brienne predictions and theories. A Song of Ice and Fire. Is The Winds of Winter coming?
