Listen on

Episode notes

In this lively episode of Geek Girl Soup, Susan, Kelly, and Cort tackle a smorgasbord of pop culture topics, from the fantastical world of *House of the Dragon* to the unexpected entertainment at the Olympics. We speculate on what would happen if dragons were an Olympic sport (hint: fire hazards galore!) and lament the absence of real dragons in the arena. We also dive into the latest TV news, from the return of *The Orville* to a nostalgic deep dive into *Knots Landing*.

This episode is cheeky and full of SPOILERS!!!
