MashReads Podcast: How 'Game of Thrones' made high fantasy cool

Winter is here...and so is the MashReads Podcast.

This week, join MashReads as we talk about all things Game of Thrones, including the explosive Season 6 finale, the show vs. the books and the best Game of Thrones things we've seen on the internet. 

After all, the night is dark and full of Game of Thrones obsessing.

And as always, we end the show with recommendations:

• Aliza recommends Mother Jones' exposé "My Four Months as a Prison Guard," an in-depth look at what goes on in private prisons by Shane Bauer.
  

• Chelsea can't stop playing Overwatch and also recommends finishing The Magicians series. "This series ended so much better than it started."
  

• Peter recommends New York Magazine's story "Good News at the Washington Post," which looks at how the Washington Post has changed since Jeff Bezos purchased the newspaper in 2013.
  

• MJ recommends "George Saunders Advice to Graduates," a convocation speech that George Saunders gave in 2013 that reminds others of the importance of kindness.
