The Abduction of Lyanna Stark

What happened with Lyanna and Rhaegar before the Tower of Joy? Why did he kidnap her… or why did she elope with him, if that was the case? Did he make her his second bride? If so, why? And why would she agree to that… or was it her idea? We tackle a core ASOIAF mystery with this one!

GRRM vs. The Wars of the Roses

Thanks to Shakespeare, a cadre of historians, television shows and the compelling nature of the actual events that transpired, the era of the Wars of the Roses is one of the most famous periods in all of western history. Primarily a struggle between houses York and Lancaster, GRRM took inspiration for his houses Stark and Lannister… and so much more. This episode is a buffet of historical parallels for ASOIAF, the Dance of the Dragons and more. VIPHOW40 - ⁠⁠https://magicmind.com/VIPHOW40⁠⁠ - 40% off for one-time purchases and subscriptions.

King Baelor the Blessed

Baelor the Blessed’s surprising ascent to the Iron Throne was followed by a dizzying series of rulings unlike any King before or after. His reign was a decade dedicated to peace… unless it interfered with piety. King Baelor was a man of the seven, often called the Septon King, but he was also a burner of books and a man capable of consigning innocents to homelessness and starvation. This is part 2 of 3 and features guest Nina Friel!

Young Baelor the Blessed

Baelor was one of the most exceptional and extreme dragon Kings to sit the Iron Throne, an example of both the best and the worst their line could produce. His devotion to peace was arguably second to none, but the same could be said for his Targaryen madness. This is a look at his early life and ascension featuring guest Nina Friel!

Found this show by watching Alt Shift X. Started from the old and moving forward. One or two guest are not for me. But the main stays are what carry me through my work shift.
Good stuff

I listen to a lot of asoiaf podcasts, but this is the one I always fire up as soon as it goes live. Entertaining, energetic, irreverent; it’s the fan podcast that feels like hanging out with other fans. Stick around until the end for their signature “Owns” segment that will have you laughing up a storm.
Too energetic
