Episode 3: A GAME OF THRONES, CATELYN I: "Enter the Godswood"

Welcome to our third episode of the Not A Cast ... podcast. Today, PoorQuentyn and BryndenBFish continue our story in Winterfell and get our first POV chapter from the perspective of Catelyn Stark, who BTW has done nothing wrong ever. Join with us as we discuss:

• Our first fandoms way before ASOIAF
• Emmett's excellent breakdown of the chapter
• Why GRRM described the POV of Catelyn as telling the story of King Arthur's mother
• Our likes/dislikes
• Abandoned foreshadowing! Utilizing GRRM's 1993 pitch letter to focus on a part of the chapter that was likely intended to foreshadow events in the letter but not in the published text
• Emmett and Jeff get hot, real hot, about a certain scene from Season 7 of Game of Thrones
