Hello! And welcome to a very, very special edition of the NotACast ... podcast - a patreon sample episode where PoorQuentyn and BryndenBFish throwdown on the fate of Ser Barristan Selmy!
Now, if you listen to us regularly, you know that typically, we give you all one chapter per week, but this past week, both Emmett and Jeff had some IRL responsibilities which prevented them from recording the next chapter episode. So, instead as a little treat, we are making our first patreon-only episode of the NotACast podcast available to the general public!
In this nearly 2 hour long episode, we cover topics like:
- The story of Ser Barristan so far
- Do we like Barristan? Is he a hero or a villain? (The answer may surprise you!)
- Emmett's arguments: the cowboy's last ride, the dangers in Meereen, the need to hew down the # of POV characters
- Jeff's arguments: Barristan as a Rhaegar fanboy and what Aegon's reveal would mean to Barristan, Dany is too OP for the second dance of the dragons, Barristan's guilt in serving Aerys and how that may mean something when a reborn Dany arrives back in Westeros
It's great fun, and please consider our patreon if you're able to (But if not, no worries, friends. We'll keep doing our chapter by chapters for YOU!)
To quickly recap what our patreon is and the reward tiers, it’s:
$1-4/month: Sparrows: A Thank you from us at the end credits, show notes

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!
Today, Emmett and Jeff are joined AGAIN by ASOIAF mystic and mythical astronomer: Lucifer Means Lightbringer, AKA LML. He joins the boys today in doing the deep-dive into Daenerys Targaryen's third chapter.
Fair warning: there is discussion about rape and sexual assault in this episode.
This week, we:
- Answer questions about Cersei Lannister's TWOW arc, whether Stannis failed his brother and the realm by not telling Robert/Ned about the incest, and LML answers a question about ducks in his mystical, wonderful way!
- Dany's so dense chapter and why we love it

- And finally, LML sings Radiohead's Karma Policeonce again to Jeff's deep and abiding sighs.
Next Week: AGOT, Bran IV with Manuclear Bomb!
