Summary

Hello and welcome back to the NotACast, the one true chapter-by-chapter (though not in this case) podcast going through A Song of Ice and Fire one chapter a week! In this episode, Good King Robb makes his peace with the Lannisters, and all is well in Westeros forevermore. This week, we: - Discuss our favorite and least favorite themes in ASOIAF - Praise the Young Wolf, our shining son and the best of the clashing kings (in this book, anyway) - Dig into the possibilities and impossibilities of Robb's peace deal - Analyze Catelyn's strengths and weaknesses as a political observer - Argue that while Robb sending Theon to Balon Greyjoy was a mistake, it wasn't a major one Next week, we return to King's Landing to bear witness as Tyrion fires and exiles Janos Slynt. And we’ll be joined by a new guest: our very own High Lord Clint Esq, one of the finest legal minds in the fandom!
