Hello and welcome back to the NotACast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast going through A Song of Ice and Fire one chapter a week!
In this episode, Tyrion has yet another frosty conversation with his dear old Dad, meets the woman he’ll murder at the end of book three, and then gets knocked out by a hammer, thus missing the battle ...oh wait, that’s the show. No offense, they didn’t have the budget to bring the Battle of the Green Fork to life! But books don’t have budgets, so we’re gonna get to dive into the real deal.
- Talk about who the main character in AGOT is
- Discuss Tyrion and Tywin's ever-increasing-ratcheting-always-upward toxic relationship
- Shae's introduction and how Tyrion projects Tysha onto her
- it's Battle of the Green Fork time!
- So much foreshadowing and groundwork launches off this chapter
- Did Roose Bolton throw the Battle of the Green Fork? (Absolutely, yes.)
Next week: the woods are full of whispers in AGOT, Catelyn X!

Hello and welcome back to the NotACast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast going through A Song of Ice and Fire one chapter a week!
In this episode, Dany plays witness to the war crimes committed by Drogo and his Dothraki in the name of her claim to the Iron Throne, and decides to save (some of) the innocents...one of whom will change her life forever.
This week, we:
-Discuss those weird half-dragon (?) Targaryen babes
-Compare and contrast the atrocities in this chapter to what's going down in Westeros
-Praise Dany's heroic instincts while noting how poorly they fare in this specific cultural context
-Introduce Mirri Maz Duur, everyone's favorite witchy aunt
-Debate whether she genuinely tried to heal Drogo or had his downfall in mind from the start
Next week: It's time for the First! Big! Battle!! Namely the Battle of the Green Fork (along with the introduction of Shae and Podrick Payne) in AGOT, Tyrion VIII!

Hello and welcome back to the NotACast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast going through A Song of Ice and Fire one chapter a week!
In this episode, Jon Snow, Zombie Hunter, is confronted with split loyalties and hears some heavy advice on that subject from his secret great-great-great uncle Aemon. Oh, and he gets a sweet Valyrian steel sword too, I guess.
And the Amen Brothers were joined by an AWESOME guest in the form of INSIDER writer Kim Renfro!
This week, we:
- Answer a question about the 2019 ASOIAF calendar
- Evaluate Jon's state of mind especially when he's given Longclaw
- Maester Aemon! Maester Aemon!
- Vows and Vows. They make you swear and swear
- Did Aemon know about Jon's Targaryen identity?
Next week: AGOT, Daenerys VII!

It's time for the Best! Episode! Ever!
Join Jeff and Emmett as they sing the praises of "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms," the episode that's been making everyone cry for the last few days. Jenny's Song, Grey Worm and Missandei, the Others as a metaphor for the end of memory and meaning, and of course, the knighting of Brienne of Tarth...it's all here.

Hello and welcome back to the NotACast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast going through A Song of Ice and Fire one chapter a week!
In this episode, Catelyn secures passage across the Green Fork for Robb and his army by negotiating a marriage pact with Walder Frey, an irascible old ass who will thankfully never turn up in the story again.
This week, we:
-Discuss how the Frey army is larger than it should be, along with other examples of early installment weirdness (weir-ness? We apologize for nothing)
-Marvel at how well this chapter's comedic tone works in isolation...
-...and at how that tone completely changes when you re-read it knowing about the Red Wedding
-Dig into the connections and contrasts between the Frey brood and Craster's Keep
-Debate whether Robb should've stuck to this marriage pact or just broken it with a more powerful family
Next week: Kim Renfro, Insider writer and author of The Unofficial Guide to Game of Thrones, joins us to discuss Jon VIII!

Duh-Duh-duh-duh-Duh-duh-Duh-Duh-Duh-duh-Duh-deee-DUHHHHHH
Game of Thrones is back, and it’s more gamey, more thronesey than ever!
Join Emmett and Jeff as they unpack this episode in all its glory! From the good (Jon and Sam, Sam and Daenerys, music, costuming, homages to S01) to the bad (Theon/Yara, the Bronn subplot), we talk it all, and we answer some of your questions too!

Hello and welcome back to the NotACast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast going through A Song of Ice and Fire one chapter a week!
In this episode, the Amen Brothers are joined by Lauren, AKA Shakespeare of Thrones to discuss George RR Martin's best Shakespeare pastiche in Ned’s final (sob) chapter in ASOIAF.
This week, we:
- Muse about whether we'd rather read TWOW or ADOS if we could only read one
- Get massively Shakespearean on this grim Ned chapter
- Was Ned really responsible for Robert's death as he believes?
- Contrast this chapter to Kevan Lannister's Epilogue in ADWD
- Did we mention Shakespeare? Well, by God, do we get deep into Shakespeare and its influence on ASOIAF (with particular emphasis on King Stannis!)
Next week: Walder Frey mounts the stage

Hello and welcome back to the NotACast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast going through A Song of Ice and Fire one chapter a week!
In this episode, Sansa Stark begs the newly-crowned King Joffrey for mercy for her father Eddard, and Joffrey agrees! We love a happy ending here at the NotACast...
This week, we:
-Wonder how Sansa would have fared as the Tyrells' hostage rather than the Lannisters'
-Discuss Robert's controversial tapestries, both as metaphor and political tool
-Say goodbye (for now) to Barristan Selmy--I'm sorry, "Arstan Whitebeard"
-Dig into Barry's role in the Varys/Illyrio Conspiracy
-Cheer on our courageous daughter, Sansa Stark, as she sticks her neck out to save her dad (her non-us dad, that is)
Next week: Lauren aka Shakespeare of Thrones joins us to discuss Eddard XV, Ned's sorrowful final chapter down in the black cells.
