This week in Westeros...well, actually, Sam has finally escaped Westeros, only for his problems to get worse. Gilly is grieving, Aemon is dreaming of dragons, and Dareon is betraying them all. But Sam slew a white walker, he can handle a singer. Our episode is up for everyone!

It’s a great episode and the Ragman’s Harbour (ie. us) is in the spotlight & we get a shoutout by name so it’s a truly lovely listening experience for at least for 2 ppl + Sam meets another undercover Stark sibling and we’re cooing over that & it’s delightful he doesn’t reproduce the Bran meet cute

“The Broken Man” speech by Septon Meribald is maybe GRRM’s best writing, so we had to bring in @mmonaco.bsky.social to help us break it all down in one of our longest episodes ever! One of the best chapters in the entire series, a delight to bring this one to you.

This week in Essos, Arya starts her education at Murder University. It's a dreamy, abstract chapter, but it's grounded in ritual and routine, and finds catharsis when Arya refuses to sacrifice Needle (and all that goes with it) to the god of death. Our episode is up for everyone!

“Needle was Jon Snow’s smile.” Arya II is split in two, on one side the deconstruction of Arya of House Stark, and on the other the creation of No One of the House of Black and White. But dissecting the chapter is Needle, a reminder that Arya’s heart is still there, if submitted under layers of pain

We have arrived at the introduction of Euron Greyjoy, who kicks things off with the ultimate supervillain monologue: framing his lifelong commitment to violence as a mockery of every god who fails to answer prayers, allowing him to dominate the world in their place.

There's no character in the story quite like Victarion Greyjoy, whose POV is a giant joke on him. GRRM gleefully pokes holes in Vic's worldview, showing how it's made him miserable and connecting the dots to what's gone wrong with the Old Way as a whole. He's his own worst enemy!

@notacast.bsky.social I was listening to Ep. 233 on Brienne and one of the things I love about her arc is that it is the antithesis of Thomas Hobbes’ Leviathan. I’m not sure if that’s what GRRM was aiming for, but I thought I would mention it in case you were interested.

Belatedly catching up on @notacast.bsky.social’s episode on Brienne I, and I really appreciated all the historical and literal parallels drawn when it comes to Brienne! Made me add things to my reading list! But because I’m me, I gotta throw two more parallels in there. 🧵
