This week on Streaming Things, Kit, Andy, and Steve deliver a primer for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms to get you ready before the series begins. We break down the state of Westeros at this point in history, introduce key characters and houses to know, and share our early excitement and expectations for the show.
After the primer, the conversation turns inward as the guys talk openly about the future of Streaming Things - what’s coming next, what kinds of coverage excite us, and we invite you, the Stream Fiends, to help shape what we cover moving forward.

This episode kicks off a brand new chapter for Streaming Things as we begin our coverage of Breaking Bad with Season 1, Episode 1: “Pilot.” After winning two separate Patreon polls, Breaking Bad officially replaces our Game of Thrones coverage.
In the series premiere, high school chemistry teacher Walter White receives a devastating diagnosis and makes a life-altering decision that pulls former student Jesse Pinkman into a dangerous new world.
Important note: this Pilot episode is available for free on our main feed, but all future Breaking Bad episodes will be exclusive to Patreon. If you want to continue the journey with us, now’s the perfect time to join.
We also debut three new segments: Let Them Cook (top 3 moments), Trivia, Bitch! (behind-the-scenes facts), and The One Who Knocks (best performance).
