#TheNorthAwaits: JOE’s Game of Thrones podcast returns for a bonus episode

Game of Thrones podcast

Have you been missing Game of Thrones?

There’s no doubt that the show’s eighth and final season divided opinion, but the HBO flagship series has certainly left a major void in our hearts and our TV schedules.

If you’ve been longing for some more Thrones content, we have you covered. Hosts of The North Awaits Michael Fry and Carl Kinsella return, joined by Aoife Pugh, to talk about HBO’s documentary The Last Watch, which went behind-the-scenes in Northern Ireland to capture the essence of Game of Thrones.

On this special episode of The North Awaits, the gang talks table reads, the mysterious appearance of Sophie Ellis-Bextor, the genius of the set designers, costumers, make-up artists and everyone else who put their heart and soul into making a show that was never anything less than exceptional on a production level.

The North Awaits’ own Last Watch also looks back on the best scenes and characters from the show’s first seven seasons.

And of course they’re left to tackle the all important question: what to watch next?
