Hello, and welcome to the Nauticast podcast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast going through a song of ice and fire.

I'm one of your hosts Emmett, also known as Poor Quentin.

And I'm your other host, Manu, also known as Manucleur Bomb.

And welcome to the 224th episode of the Nauticast, titled The Breaking Point,

an analysis of a Storm of Swords, Tyrion 11, in which men will literally kill their lover and

their father rather than go to therapy.

any histories, any interviews, any wins of winter sample chapters, as well as Game of Thrones,

and House of the Dragon, the TV shows. Anything and everything. So yes, we're back in A Song of Ice

and Fire. We were away for a little bit, just a couple months, for covering House of the Dragon

season two. All those episodes are up and available for everyone to listen. But now we're back

into a storm of swords where we left off

with just a handful of chapters left in the books. So for the next couple months, we're going to be

alternating these chapters doing our usual every week every other week coverage of the books.

And on the alternate weeks, I'm going to be wrapping up my Star Wars coverage for patrons.

I've been covering the Star Wars movies for all of our patrons,
