Welcome back to Game of Thrones 2, Electric.

Bukaloo, I'm your host, Anthony.

There are chapters, and then there are chapters.

This is one of those other ones.

Maybe the best chapters so far in all of Clash.

With me to discuss this are my friend Stephanie Barbie Hammer. Stephanie's taught all over

the world, mostly English. Steph is a talented and funny writer at the end of this podcast.

We'll do a plug for her most recent book. Jan Doolittle Wilson, who teaches at the University of

Tulsa, maybe the world's biggest Jamie Lannister fan, and then Philip

Habercern, who teaches the Game of Throne course at Boston University. And today, our resident

medievalist. All right, without further ado, here is Phil, Steph, and Jan. All right.

And now I don't know where to start.

I think I should just voice my excitement for this.

I told Sarah this morning, it's like, I'm really excited for this conversation.

These are three people I've been trying to get in the same room for a long time.

And this is a really, really exciting chapter.

It's a good chapter. Yeah, so I'm super excited about it. I think it touches like parts of the

larger story for Catlin, but it also touches like other bits and pieces of recent Westrosi history.

And it's just a really exciting window into these two lives, I think.

Definitely.

I am going to read my synopsis, and then we can jump right into the chapter.
