Not A Podcast ASOIAF Re-Read Podcast (NotACast)

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, King Terrorist Renly Baratheon is righteously vaporized by the magical equivalent of a drone strike.   This week, we:   

- Talk about why Robert didn't have sworn men around him

- Get into the philosophy and metaphysics of the shadowbaby and its impact on the narrative

- Talk about how the shadowbaby attack didn't just kill Renly. It nearly got Brienne killed and very much got Robar Royce and Emmon Cuy killed 

- The impact of Renly's death on the characters surrounding him: Catelyn, Margaery, Loras, Stannis

- Will Brienne kill Stannis?

- Was Renly's death justified?

Next week: we interrupt our regular chapter-by-chapter flow to bring you an episode all about *sigh* Renly Baratheon. This will be our Patreon episode for the month, but we’ll also be doing it live for all to see on Monday 4/20 at 830 PM EST! 

Check out our friends we referenced at the start of the podcast!

Hello and welcome to the NotACast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast going through A Song of Ice and Fire one chapter a week!

Jeff is off for a couple months, so Emmett is resuming his Lord of the Rings episodes. Here's the last one on Book Three, covering Saruman's downfall at Isengard and Pippin finding the Palantir, before we begin coverage of Book Four next week with Frodo, Sam, and their new best friend Gollum.

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! Happy 100th episode, and thank you so much to everyone who's listened and supported us so far!   In this episode, Bran is caught between magic and politics, Winged Wolf and Prince of Winterfell, as embodied by his two mentors: Jojen Reed and Maester Luwin.   This week, we: 

- Praise how masterfully George changes moods as this chapter goes along

- Shiver as Jojen gets creepy with Bran's dreams

- Zoom out to put the "little grandfather" in context with the other magical heralds of A Clash of Kings

- Sift through both the short-term blind spots and long-term wisdom of Maester Luwin's worldview

- Pity Bran for his bittersweet dreams of knighthood, tempting him onward to sorcery

Next week: back to King's Landing for ACOK Tyrion VII as Lannister dysfunction somehow gets even worse. And we will be joined by a new guest: Jinx Lierre!

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, Theon Greyjoy is introduced to the idea that his actions have consequences. He … doesn’t take it well.   This week, we:

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 riddles in the dark with Gollum/Jaime and discovers the horrible truth behind the backstory.   This week, we:   

- Talk about the rules of the game and how playing this game demonstrates the arrested development of these Robert's Rebellion-era characters

- Gape at Jaime for his casual admissions of truth and how Jaime is denying Catelyn catharsis with his admissions

- Talk about vows and how it displays the rotten system of Westeros

- Get our eyes opened specifically to the type of king that Jaime kingslayed

- Sympathize with Jaime (of all people) because even when he tells the truth to Catelyn, she dismisses him as a kinslayer.

- Debate about whether Catelyn was correct to release Jaime for Sansa.

 

Next week: We're back in Winterfell with Theon as he continues to rule justly and nobly ... or makes a botch of it while having nightmares and getting owned by his sister again. And we'll be joined by a brand new special guest: Alisha Benton!|

Hello and welcome to the NotACast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast going through A Song of Ice and Fire...but not this episode! Since we're taking a month off from our Star Wars coverage for patrons, this week we're making our latest SW episode available for everyone. In this episode, Emmett is joined by Luke aka lukeisamazing to break down the climax of Revenge of the Sith, in which Obi-Wan and Anakin fight on a volcano while Yoda and Palpatine do the same in the Senate--who's to say who has it worse. If you like what you hear, there are dozens of SW episodes available for our $5+ patrons over on our Patreon! 

Next time: ASOS Jon VI, in which Jon is back in black, but there's nothing but bad news waiting for him at Castle Black: the garrison is gone, LC Mormont is dead, Winterfell has fallen, and his brothers Bran and Rickon are dead...or so it seems.

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, everything is on fire and all Sansa wants is someone trustworthy to talk to, but instead she has Dontos, Sandor, and Cersei.

Hello and welcome 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, it's child murder, lord murder and the all-but-fall of the North. Cheery Stark stuff.   This week, we:

- See how Robb Stark is reacting emotionally to the fall of his kingdom

- Dread alongside of Catelyn at the loss of the Karstarks and what this means for the Stark cause

- See the false ray of hope in Jeyne's hips by chapter's end

- Discuss whether Robb was right here
