Jason, the music, it's happening. Are you ready for all this fire and blood and drama? I am so ready. I cannot wait to see the battles, the scheming.

riding dragons, all of that in HBO's new original series, House of the Dragon, which is premiering on HBO Max August 21st. This is a Game of Thrones prequel. This means the story is taking us back almost 200 years before the Mother of Dragons ever hatched her little dragon babies.

I'm Jason Concepcion. You may know me from podcasts like X-Ray Vision, from Crooked Media, and Binge Mode from The Ringer, but I'm also a writer, and I kind of order brunch in Dothraki. And I'm Greta Johnson, host of WBEZ's Nerd App Podcast.

I know no Dothraki or Valyrian, but I did host a former podcast called Nerdette Recaps Game of Thrones with Peter Sagal. And that was all about Westeros. So I spent a lot of time recapping and hashing out all the dragon drama in Game of Thrones. And Jason, I am super excited because you and I are co-hosting the official Game of Thrones podcast, House of the Dragon, produced by HBO Max in collaboration with iHeartRadio.

This podcast is for everyone. The megaphones, modern enthusiasts, casual admirers of Game of Thrones, even for the thrones curious. We're getting ready to dig into something new. Just think about it, Greta. We'd always heard of a time when dragons ruled the world, and now we finally get to see what Westeros was like when the Targaryens ruled the Seven Kingdoms. Dreams didn't make us kings. Dragons did.

That's right, Jason. And every week starting August 3rd, you and I are going to talk about the latest news, trailer drops, and generally all things we know and learn about House of the Dragon. Plus, we are also going to share some helpful Westeros history lessons ahead of the series premiere. Just think of us as your maesters sharing with you the histories and the canon of the Seven Kingdoms and beyond. We'll be recapping and analyzing every episode of House of the Dragon and...

talking to the cast and crew right after it airs on Sunday nights. You cannot get this kind of insider access on any other podcast. So listen to the first episode of the official Game of Thrones podcast, House of the Dragon, on August 3rd on HBO Max, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. And don't miss the first episode of the HBO original House of the Dragon, premiering August 21st on HBO Max. ♪
