Hello and welcome to the Nauticast, podcast, the one true chapter by chapter podcast going through a song of Ice and Fire one chapter week.

I'm one of your host, Jeff, better as ready to be fish.

And I'm your other host Emmett, better known as poor Quentin.

And welcome to the 107th episode of the Notta Cast titled Brotherly Love Part 1, an analysis of a clash of kings, Catlin 3, in which the rightful king of Westrose meets with the rightful queen of Westrose, Catlin Stark.

This is another one of our infamous two-parter episodes. It's not too surprising. Not only do we, of course, love talking about Stannis, but this is a really dense chapter with a lot to say and a lot to see even before we get to Stannis and Renley, which unfortunately we won't be doing next week. We'll be getting to that. Next week, this episode we're going to cut off right as Renley shows up. So we're going to cover Catalan arriving at Storm's End, thinking through her mission, thinking through the backstory of the castle. We'll talk about that. And then we'll talk about the conversation she has with Stannis right before Renley shows up.

Next week, we will talk about the Stanis Renly Showdown itself,

Catalin's conversation with Renly afterwards, and then the battle plane that emerges at Renley's camp.
