Take the Black podcast: Season 7 episode lengths and Winds of Winter news

Welcome back to another episode of Take the Black, Winter is Coming’s Game of Thrones podcast. Our panel returns this week after a long holiday break to discuss why Game of Thrones lost at the Golden Globes, the lengths of the episodes in Game of Thrones Season 7, and George R.R. Martin’s brief update on The Winds of Winter.

Topics include:

• Game of Thrones cast members and their fashion choices for the Golden Globes.
• Why Game of Thrones lost the Best Drama award to The Crown.
• What are Game of Thrones future chances on the awards circuit?
• We discuss the possibility of extended episodes in Season 7, and if it’s a good thing.
• Is George R.R. Martin writing both The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring simultaneously?
• Does George R.R. Martin “owe” his readers a new book? And ultimately, when is The Winds of Winter coming out?

As usual, Take the Black leans on the NSFW side (beware of F-bombs). And, we briefly touch on SPOILERS for Game of Thrones Season 7, so please proceed with caution.
