Preston Jacobs

Preston Jacobs (born c. 1976/1977 [age 45/46]) is a YouTuber and podcaster. He is best known for his commentary on A Song of Ice and Fire, its adaptation Game of Thrones, as well as its spin offs and expanded media. The tagline of his channel is "Rereading Ice, Rethinking Fire". His content involves trivia, history, analysis, theory, recap and review videos. He also covers other media, such as George R. R. Martin's other works and The Mandalorian.
He uses fanart of the character Robert Arryn AKA Sweetrobin as his avatar. He initially had a reputation for being critical of the Game of Thrones adaptation. During his episode reviews, he satirically voices a number of recurring characters, the three main ones being:
*Sweetrobin, based on the character from the source material who acts as the voice of reason and masks his criticisms with a dry sense of humour.
*Brandon Nightsking, who is more sardonic, known to rant about certain writing decisions. "Whatever. I'm gonna go b*tch about Game of Thrones", he says.
*Chad Summerchild, who thinks everything is awesome and has a surface-level understanding of the material. He gets his name from the phrase "sweet summer child", referring to someone who is naive.
Preston has also become known for coming up with theories and predictions during the wait for The Winds of Winter. As of 2022, he is writing what he thinks will happen chapter by chapter.
Preston hosts the (unofficial) Game of Thrones Podcast with RedTeamReview, which is currently covering House of the Dragon. In 2020, the pair began another podcast on HBO series Raised by Wolves. Preston has a novel in the works.
