Monday May 27, 2019
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, George gets his horror on as everything collapses around Dany--personally, politically, and of course, magically.
We also talk:
- Daenerys as a physical dragon
- Foreshadowing things to come with flies, hitting the mood just right
- The importance of POV: a bad act by someone we sympathize with
- The real (black) magic was the friends we made along the way
- Emmett answers all of Jeff's questions about magic!
Our next livestream on AGOT, Arya V is tonight if you're listening on the release date and can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwKS3Gl5viI

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 Stark describes the Battle of the Whispering Wood with such lyrical beauty you almost forget that a bunch of people are dying horribly.
- Discuss Arianne and Daenerys
- Unpack the poetry and the hard tactics of the battle
- Contrast Robb's relationship to Cat with Tyrion's to Tywin
- Chest-thump for Robb's victory, but what does it all truly mean ultimately?
Next week: the shadows come to dance my lord in AGOT, Daenerys VIII!

Episode 62: A GAME OF THRONES, TYRION VIII: "The Iron Rose"

Monday May 13, 2019
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!

Monday May 06, 2019
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.

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.
