Episode Introduction
Winter is coming. Or it has come. I’m not quite sure how they sort these things out in Westeros. But the final season is coming and it looks like it’s going to be an epic finish.
Hi, I’m your host, Brian Rollins and this is Episode Seven of the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast. This week we’re diving into the books from A Song of Ice and Fire as well as the TV show, Game of Thrones. Most of the questions will apply to both the books and the show. Where they aren’t, I’ll let you know.
If you’re new here and need the scoring rules, head over to dorkygeekynerdy.com/rules. We have several sets you use for solo or group play. On the site, you can also find links to follow us on social media.
The show will consist of three rounds of ten questions each, with each round getting harder. You’ll have five seconds to answer each question.
