Hello everyone. As a programming note, the next episode: “The House with the Red Door is in Braavos: An Analysis of AGOT, Daenerys I” will be delayed for one week.
The reason being is that co-host
@BryndenBFish
’s wife delivered a healthy baby girl on February 1! Here’s a pic!
It will surprise some of you to discover that
@PoorQuentyn
is not already married to
@BryndenBFish
(me, who is writing this tweet). Instead, Emmett is now OFFICIALLY engaged to
@liesandarbor
. Congratulations to Emmett and Chloe!
Hi everyone! Unfortunately, due to everything being terrible, Jeff will be absent for the rest of the month. As such, Emmett will be recording several episodes with guest hosts, starting with the great
@MaesterMerry
! It'll be out for patrons on Sunday and everyone else on Monday.
Thanks everyone for tuning in this year. You’ve all made our year an excellent one. As part of our thanks, we are pleased to announce that a 2 hour, 47 minute holiday special episode is coming to EVERYONE next week!
It’s entitled [Redacted] with special guest [Redacted].
Hi gang. Did you miss us? Good, because in 2 days,
@PoorQuentyn
and
@BryndenBFish
retutn with Episode 4: “The House with the Red Door is in Braavos: An Analysis of AGOT, Daenerys I”!
We know many of you are quarantined. We want to help. So! We're excited to announce that during this time of quarantine, we are starting a WEEKLY livestream for all of our episodes. And our first weekly episode will be ACOK, CATELYN III!
Wow, guys and gals. 2424 listens on iOS and Podbean and 1416 listens on Soundcloud. We are blown away by the outpouring of love and support from everyone.
Thank you all so much for listening! We are grateful.
Just finished an initial pass for our first episode. It’s 1 hour and 37 minutes without music and some fine tuning.
Dudes and dudettes, I think you’re going to like what you’re going to hear.
ETA for release: Monday, January 15th.
Full disclosure: E01 will need to be re-recorded. Our audio editor decided that
@PoorQuentyn
and
@BryndenBFish
weeping into their microphones about “My Stannis. My Stannis” was unseemly for a first ep.
(We had audio issues, but we’ll double-time to have something this week!)
Look, I don’t want to get everyone too excited, but this “Enter the Godswood: An Analysis of AGOT, Cat I” is going to the first to get our first explicit tag.
@PoorQuentyn
and
@BryndenBFish
go HAM over how Robert’s Rebellion was characterized in Season 7 of GoT.
FOLKS! We have just hit our stretch goal of NINE HUNDRED total patrons! THANK YOU! We are humbled by your support/friendship and excited for the future of the podcast. Speaking of that future, there was a reward we mentioned for us hitting 900 patrons!
Thank you everyone for getting us to over 3,000 followers on twitter just in our first year of podcasting alone. You all are awesome, and we're thankful for you as the New Year looms!
Episode 2: AGOT, Bran I: "The End of Summer" is coming your way in 24 hours! In the meantime, have you all subscribed to us on your feed of choice? In the replies, I'll tell you each place you can find us!
Emmett and Jeff are also pleased to announce that for next week's episode all about AGOT, Daenerys III, they'll be joined by Mythical Astronomer and Long Night theorist
@thedragonLML
for a super in-depth conversation about Dany's mystical third AGOT chapter! CANNOT. WAIT.
@NotACastASOIAF
Why was Ned so obsessed with the idea that Stannis should be King because he's the next in line while ignoring Jon's claim? Do you think he would have backed Jon if he had escaped on the boat North with his daughters?
We recently passed ONE MILLION downloads over on Podbean!! Thank you so much to everyone who's listened and contributed. Looking back, here are some of our favorite episodes so far.
That sweet, sweet sound you don’t hear yet is the finished “This Is Her Place: An Analysis of A Game of Thrones, Eddard I”, the next NotACast episode, coming to your ears on Monday!
My review of
@NotACastASOIAF
: A pot smoking beatnik who once took a semester in philosophy and a dad joke spewing RINO lend credence to the Horseshoe Theory by agreeing on almost everything about A Song of Ice and Fire.
Each episode will be 10 hours in length. By hour 6,
@PoorQuentyn
and
@BryndenBFish
are grunting into the microphone about how Stannis would have solved everything. It’s great.
(An hour or two, depending on how verbose the hosts get.
Narrator voice: they get verbose in E01)
These Gentlemen and Lady have been cornerstones of this community, and it is with bittersweet and sincere longing that we bid ado to ASOIAF with them as they finish AFFC/ADWD and travel onto DUNK AND EGG.
Well done, thy good and faithful heroes. Well done.
We laugh, we cry, we arrive at the end (of Feast Dance, anyway).
E74: THE BLOOD BEFORE THE PAIN
Covers AFFC Samwell 5, ADWD Epilogue, The Queen’s Hand, Daenerys 10
Find it wherever you consume your podcasts, or at
We will NEVER do a crossover ep with our sworn enemies at
@girlsgonecanon
! Except that time we had
@arhythmetric
on for AGOT, Dany II or that upcoming time when we’ll have
@liesandarbor
on for AGOT, Sansa II and of course the other episodes they’ll be on.
Besides then, NEVER.
Many thanks to everyone who hung out with us for our livestream episode on AGOT Arya V (aka the Ned Stark execution chapter)! We had a blast. The audio will be up in its usual podcast form in all the usual places at the usual times next week!
Thank you to everyone who’s listened and thank you for those who’ve said nice things to us.
If you liked this episode, the Bran episode is gonna be
#lit
.
But what does the silence and lack of new casts on
@NotACastASOIAF
mean? Should we take this as a good sign, that means that they are furiously writing—er, recording—and have hit a good stride? Maybe they're meeting with their editors in New York?
So, unfortunately, it’s true. Jeff is going on a work-trip and won’t be able to take his microphone with him.
However! When we return, our next episode will be a first-ever mega-massive episode in which we’ll talk AGOT, Sansa I and! AGOT, Eddard III!
We’ve gotten a few asks on whether we’ll keep on with our weekly chapter thing while show season is going on, and the answer is ... ABSOLUTELY. We are soooooo close to the ACOK Prologue and Stannis!
Next week will be an exciting week in the NotACast podcast with TWO new episodes coming your way!
1. Monday, 3/26: “The things I do for love: An Analysis of AGOT, Bran II.”
2: Wednesday, 3/28: “Why ADWD is a better book than ASOS” featuring special guest

BASTARD
Who wrote the Pink Letter?
And I want my answers. Send them to me, bastard, and I will not trouble you or your social media presence. Keep them from me, and I will cut out your bastard's heart and eat it.
You can expect the first episode on Monday, January 15, 2018. We will inundate you with links, so it’ll be your own damn fault if you can’t find the podcast.
The NotACast Holiday Special Episode: “How Much of TWOW/ADOS Did GAME OF THRONES spoil?” featuring Special Guest
@jowrotethis
of the excellent
@StormofSpoilers
podcast!
And now this means that
@PoorQuentyn
and
@BryndenBFish
will be forced to do a quarterly livecast episode in which you tell Emmett and Jeff that they're stupid with ugly opinions.
Just. Wow. Thank you all so much!
We just passed $4000/month on Patreon!! Thank you so much to everyone who's contributed so far, and we're so excited to have you with us as we barrel ahead to Ned's execution, the rebirth of dragons, and then book two. It's a great time to love Westeros!
Thanks so much to everyone who has listened in the past year! Some incredible episodes await us in 2022: "Dracarys," the Knight of the Laughing Tree, Davos' rise to Hand of the King, Beric Dondarrion's duel with the Hound, and of course, the Red Wedding. See you next year!
There is no competition. We were inspired by many other podcasts before us (
@davosfingers
and
@GameOfOwns
), current re-read casts like
@girlsgonecanon
and, of course, our father
@StevenAttewell
.
All that’s to say: the more podcasts, the better the fandom. So, do it.
Next week, the Amen Brothers are pleased to announce that
@liesandarbor
of the
@girlsgonecanon
and
@DrunkASOIAF
podcasts will join us for AGOT, Eddard X: The Tower of Joy chapter. And man, just looking at the show notes, it's going to be one of our all-times!
And finally, for our next episode on AGOT, Tyrion II, Emmett and Jeff are pleased to announce that Aziz from
@WesterosHistory
will be joining us to talk all about a jam-packed Tyrion chapter and the Field of Fire from Aegon's Invasion!
So, I (Jeff) am just getting home, and to my consternation, I messed up and released our kingsguard patreon early access episode for everyone. Whoops. Whatever. I'm not deleting. Just don't spread word that it's available for early access.
Plz don't RT.
We are all about having interesting conversations about deep, personal topics in a respectful manner unless you’re supporting Renly. In which case, you will be hurled from the Tarpeian Rock while we laugh and laugh and laugh.
@NotACastASOIAF
so people with differing views on religion can have a conversation that doesn’t devolve into screaming insults? We should try that more often.
Hello! We are returning tomorrow night at 8:30pm to do a brand new livecast. But given current circumstances and our desire not to trivialize events occurring around the globe, we'll not be doing ACOK, Tyrion IX. Instead, come and stump us!
In case you forgot, no new episode today, but next week, we have AGOT, Bran II *and* ADWD > ASOS with a special guest who may or may not be the Night King.
We aren’t rivals. We are sworn enemies and will march through a river of their tears as we stride to glory ... but only after we have the canon girls appear on like a dozen or two more NAC episodes for the next 5 years.
But yes. After that, we march to victory. We swear.
Are
@NotACastASOIAF
and
@girlsgonecanon
sister podcasts or rival podcasts? Or... is it a thing line?.. or is it just everyone against Jeff? Probably everyone against Jeff.
TFW your plans for the robotic annihilation of all sentient life hits a minor snag, but
@PoorQuentyn
and
@BryndenBFish
’s next NotACast episode: “Jon Gets Well and Truly Drunk: An Analysis of AGOT, JON I” is done.
Tomorrow, we will have our monthly update post in which we're going to announce a brand, new stretch goal. What will the stretch goal be, you ask? Here's a hint:
It's happening!!
#GameofThrones
returns for its final season on Sunday, and the NotACast boys will be covering it every step of the way. We'll be releasing reviews of each episode on Tuesday mornings for our patrons and Wednesday mornings for everyone else!
As many of you know by now, we won’t have our regular episode out tomorrow. Sorry, sometimes the IRL interferes.
But that doesn’t mean we don’t have something in store for you all. A little surprise if you will ...
We recommend checking out part 2 of
@WesterosHistory
's Bloodraven episode or diving into
@girlsgonecanon
's analysis of Quentyn II and III. Or! There's always
@thedragonLML
's Signs and Portals' take on Sansa Stark.
There's a big wide ASOIAF podcast community out there folks!
In terms of overall misery inflicted *so far*, yes. This may change come next week with the simultaneous publication of WINDS, DREAM, DUNK AND EGG and FIRE AND BLOOD, VOLUMES 2, 3, 4 and 5.
@NotACastASOIAF
Only now discovered you and I'm slowly binging through all your amazing episodes right now, but a thing you said in the sixth episode, Jon I, stroke me odd: "Tywin is probably the worst person in ASOIAF."
You guys think that Tywin is worse than Euron?
Our regular programming returns next week Monday, with ACOK Davos II...and this will be our first three-part episode! The chapter is just that good. Bring on the storm.
