Hello my fellow historians, I'm Aziz, with me Azizia and this is Valerie Rita.

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&As, 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. Dance with dragons is the longest of the books so far. It's also the darkest

and least understood thanks to being the most recent. It's the culmination also, so far,

of George's style honed over the course of the prior books and the rest of his long career.

It has the extended length of a storm of swords, the expanded pacing of a feast for pros.

It brings POVs together like a clash of kings and has the setup of a game of thrones.

If you're watching live, you can feel free to ask live questions. You can also send questions

and comments ahead of time by joining us on one of our social media outlets, Facebook,

Flick, Discord, or Slack. Yes, it is the final week of regular dance with dragons chapters.

So pretty big milestone. We're going to have finished all the regular chapters and all the main

five books to date. And well, that's pretty cool. We started not long after the conclusion of season

eight. Our first book, we was pre the COVID era and there were a couple of breaks in there,

some trips and traveling. Ever since early in the storm of swords, I guess we've had a pretty

straight run through. And well, like I've said more recently, and we'll be getting into the other

material. The Winds of Winter pre-release chapters. We're recording our own versions of those

to have audio versions. The community is participating. We're getting lots of different guest voices.
