History of Westeros welcomes audible.com as our latest sponsor. I'm particularly excited to

have them on board because I've been using them myself for over a decade and it's nice to have

a sponsor that's a product you already use and have loved for a long time. I first used them

for my mother. I downloaded the Song of Ice and Fire series before a feast for crows came out

and gave them to her back on CD. How about that? Today you can use History of Westeros to try out

a 30 day free trial of audible.com and that comes with one free download. I highly recommend

the World of Ice and Fire on audio because Roydo Trees is a fantastic narrator or you can try

out the Princess and the Queen, read by none other than Sir Jora Ian Glenn himself. That's pretty

cool. If you're thinking of making a podcast Spotify is doing a great job of making it both easy

to get started and then expand into more options as you grow and it's all in one place for free.

It's called Spotify for podcasters and it gives you a variety of ways to interact and even make

money including videos, Q and A's and polls. You can edit, upload, and submit from your computer

or even your phone so it's really simple in that regard. Spotify takes care of the rest,

distribute it everywhere. So get started today at www.spodify.com slash podcasters.

realm praying for his death. Lord Butterwell was renowned for width, miles small with for courage,

Sir Otto Hightower for learning yet they failed his hands, every one. As for birth, the Dragon King's

off-chose hands were amongst their own blood with results as various as Baylor Brakesbeer and

Megor the Cruel. Against this, you have Sept and Barth. The Blacksmith's son, the old King plucked

from the Red Keeps Library who gave the realm 40 years of peace and plenty. Hello and welcome to
