About this episode
To celebrate House of the Dragon streaming on NOW, the lads are bringing you a special one-off episode. They chat to economist and author Peter Antonioni, from University College London, to see just what Westeros gets right economically and just what it might lack. Spoiler alert! More banks, less knowledge-hoarding, Maesters!
Neil also explains what Matt Smith (Damon Targaryen) might be doing now if he wasn’t acting and they spend waaaaay too long answering that age old question - can dragons really fly?
Enjoy!
