Radio Westrose, Episode 95, Brant Stark, Part 2.

Spoilers are books.

Hello, and welcome to Radio Estrose. I'm Lady Gwynnevere, and with me as always is Yoke Boy.

Hello there. This episode is the second installment of our three-part series on Brand Stark, covering Brand's Ark and a clash of kings from the arrival of not one but two-wolder phrase in the

aftermath of his mother's agreement with the Lord of the Crossing to Brand's departure

from his childhood home in the final chapter of the book.

And as we'll see, a major theme of Brand's Ark in a Clash of Kings is dreams.

And we'll learn about the different types of

dreams that Brand has, as well as getting a look at the dreams of a couple of other characters,

from the green dreams of Jojin Reed to the nightmares of Theon Greyjoy.

We'll also see Bran established as a character who observes rather than participates, something that will play

a huge role in his upcoming arc. As such, we'll catch up on all the goings on in the north

during Rob's absence in the south. Brand will be our window onto the very important early positioning

of the northern lords for what will come next,

essentially laying the groundwork for theories about northern resistance that may be taking place in a dance with dragons.

And speaking of groundwork, we'll also see part of the early moves by House Bolton as they position themselves to be handed

control of the North after Rob's murder, not to mention some of the earliest hints at that act

in the story. So all that and more today, but before we begin, we want to give a quick shout

out to all of our patrons who help keep Radio Westeros going,

including our Flaming Lightbringer patron, T.J. Harrington, our Dragonsteel patrons, Peter, and Maltude,

and Pale as Milk Glass patrons, Alex, Acka in the Company of the Cats,
