Boilers All Books!

Hello and welcome to another episode of Radio Estros. I'm

Yokevir in Boston and I'm Yoke Boy in England.

And today we're going to begin our two-part look at Peter Balish.

That's right, for the first time ever, we've decided to split an episode into two parts after we began writing it.

Yeah, we just had too much to say about Littlefinger, so we decided to go with one episode

on his political and economic manipulation of Westero specific to King's Landing, which is what we'll be looking at today, followed by a second

episode that will be a close look at his relationships with Cat, Lice, and Sansa, the politics of

the Vale and our evaluation of his endgame and predictions for his fate.

And so we've come a really long way since our very first 45 minute episodes on Aya and Mercy to our more recent 2.5 hour bumper special

on prophecy.

But upwards of 3 hours on Littlefinger seems like a bit too much to squeeze into one episode.

So today we'll start with an overview of the character, followed by an examination of his rise to power and some bailish economics,

and conclude with a lengthy analysis of his plotting and his network of spies and agents.

Yeah, we really think we're going to be able to give you a more full analysis all around

by offering this special double feature, and we hope you all enjoy it.

Before we get started we want to shout out all our listeners who

weighed in on Twitter on this subject. We got a lot of very useful not to

mention very kind feedback that helped us make this decision.

So thanks guys and any of you listeners who haven't connected with us on social media, come
