Summary

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, the Amen Brothers are joined by Lauren, AKA Shakespeare of Thrones to discuss George RR Martin's best Shakespeare pastiche in Ned’s final (sob) chapter in ASOIAF. This week, we: - Muse about whether we'd rather read TWOW or ADOS if we could only read one - Get massively Shakespearean on this grim Ned chapter - Was Ned really responsible for Robert's death as he believes? - Contrast this chapter to Kevan Lannister's Epilogue in ADWD - Did we mention Shakespeare? Well, by God, do we get deep into Shakespeare and its influence on ASOIAF (with particular emphasis on King Stannis!) Next week: Walder Frey mounts the stage Lauren's website: https://shakespeareofthrones.com/ Lauren's twitter: https://twitter.com/shakesofthrones Our patreon: www.patreon.com/NotACastASOIAF Our twitter: twitter.com/NotACastASOIAF Our facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/289889118235797/ Our youtube page: www.youtube.com/channel/UCmmDfPdG…iew_as=subscriber Emmett's twitter: twitter.com/PoorQuentyn Jeff's twitter: twitter.com/BryndenBFish
