Radio Westeros E33 War of the Five Kings, pt 1

[@UAPReportingCenter]

You guys are so reserached and knowledgeable. You guys and history of westeros are the most knowledgeable casts out there. Been a huge fan for years now. Great job!! Thank you!

[@osirisgem]

You torturers, first you mock us with your quiz, filled with unknowable questions, more a kin to the tickler than a test, and now with your cutting insights into seemingly understood events to fill us again with more questions, each like a bucket of rats on the belly..... Ok so in all seriousness, I hadn't even thought of chronological requisite for actions in the way that you delineate actionable events with regard to one another. Genius. Tywin understanding the approach of conflict is not at all surprising but him planning as evidenced by how quickly he is able to transition from no threat to actionable active threat is an amazing insight. It has genuinely made me rethink a great deal, and I can't tell you how much fun that has been since I watched this the first time. I love it. And let me just say this, there are channels/podcasts for ASOIAF that are good, some are bad, most are a little of both and a great deal are neither, and in a slue of good company this channel puts out content I genuinely enjoy every moment of. I have never listened to a podcast before and said, ..." ahh it's only 2 hours".

[@RadioWesteros]

Thanks so much! We're very glad that you appreciate the approach. We hoped to present something fresh that wasn't a mere rehash of events and it turned out to be more difficult than you might think to sort things into the proper order. But having done so, we think there are some interesting insights to be gained. So thanks for listening, enjoying, engaging... it means a lot! :)

The time to strike is now, the Starks fight the Lannisters, the Baratheons fight each other.

[@sarahgennaro9910]

Lady Gwyn, you've done it again. Your reading of Cat's plea for peace is perfect. An amazing blend of mournful and wistful. You played it exactly right without overdramatizing it. I feel like you guys are a big part of a more sympathetic opinion of Cat in the fandom. Thanks for the great work.

[@RadioWesteros]

Thanks Sarah! I really appreciate you saying so, it means a lot :) -LG

[@Royges]

fuck! I knew that as soon as the show was over, the good stuff would start coming again.

[@robertrhode47]

You guys are the Best a song of ice and fire on youtube

[@ThePeterBluth]

When you talked about Balon's frustrations with his children I keep hearing"Gee, Officer Kurpkee" from West Side Story..."My sister wears a mustache, my brother wears a dress..."

[@NachoHook]

Finally! Can't wait to listen to you guys after so much time!

[@RadioWesteros]

Glad to be back, Ignacio

[@Rocsanna]

Thank you so much for this and all you other amazing analyses, the amount of work you put into them is simply unbelievable Your dedication is much appreciated and deserves the highest praise! You have been my constant companions though re-reads and GRRM should definitely feel proud that his multifaceted world is still sparking this much love. That said, even while tackling this immense amount of material, you still manage to make it entertaining from start to finish. Walder Frey, Lord of the Crossing, after inviting us to a party in his hall, as a "show of good faith", and saying "No need to bring wine, the red will flow" had me do a double take and laugh out loud. :)) Genius!

[@RadioWesteros]

Thank you Rocsanna, your comment made my day :) -yb

[@ivandragiev]

Radio westeros, I missed you so much. Incredible episode as usual. Thank you so much for doing what he doing guys.

[@RadioWesteros]

Ivan, comments like these keep us strong ;)

[@Stephen_Curtin]

Excellent analysis as always guys.

[@RadioWesteros]

Thanks Stephen!

[@everdawn8212]

LOL, That's one party I won't be attending! Recommend you, yolkboy and Lady Gwyn take a pass as well, heh! Gosh I always get such a kick out of your adverts! 😁

[@yusufs1676]

YESSSSSSS I needed this. Love you guys favorite podcast for ASOIAF material.

[@Biend]

Oh boy! I wish I could listen now, but have to wait till I finish work. I just want you to know, guys, that just seeing the notification from you brightens up my day and I know that I speak for many other listeners as well. Much love guys!

[@RadioWesteros]

Biend, that means a lot. Have a decent shift at work ;)

[@jimmybones4299]

Still pumped you guys were able to get an episode out during show season.

[@RadioWesteros]

It was a near thing, but we benefitted from the extra time after Renly before the show started :)

[@mariedriskell8752]

I love your pod casts!💓💕!!! I wish i could pay my way....😪 love you guys when you join in with Westeros History.

[@shieraseastar9300]

Thank you so much, I so look forward to each of your podcasts! Excellent work, they just keep getting better and better! :)

[@shagunpandey2087]

Wasn't this excited for this season's finale episode.. :) Thank you guys. Seven blessings to you.

[@Laurynassi]

I just noticed how the reports of Lannister raider attack on the Riverlands mirror dothraki attack on the Lhazareen vilage.

[@RadioWesteros]

Nice take! They certainly are both events from AGoT that show the universal impact of war and rapine on common people :(

[@mateotoral364]

Yaaay! been waiting for this for months! Thanks for the show you guys

[@SomeAussie]

Another great episode appreciate the effort yous put into every one

[@RadioWesteros]

[@marlonthomas8042]

At long last you beautiful bastards 😍 The commute to work is gonna be sweet now 😊

[@RadioWesteros]

I love that we can brighten up your commute!

[@michelleyoung9621]

WoooHoooo!!! So happy to see a new episode!!!!!!!!!!!! Gonna start listening RIGHT NOW! Oh, how I have waited for this day!!!! In case you haven't guessed, I love you guys...along with History of Westeros and Tony Teflon, you all are my favorite GoT nerds!!

[@RadioWesteros]

Thank you michelle, that's an honour

[@JoshuaBarnes2298]

Hey while I'm still early I just wanted to say I really appreciate the channel and don't ever shy away from the quality over quantity approach to the content

[@RadioWesteros]

Thanks so much Josh! :)

[@alexm2134]

Ahh yes perfect for my current reread

[@willwebster4441]

Cool finally got time to listen yay! Thanks guys

[@zosiab1742]

So worth the wait

[@marky1846]

amazing work! gr8 research and clear delivery... thanks alot!

[@MrBellsa61]

So pumped for part 2!

[@Sifu-intraining]

Great work guys

[@stefanfilipovits21]

Question from someone who hasn't read the books (I know, I know. It's been a crazy year & I have every intention of listening to the famous audiobooks while I do a ton of traveling). This question is open to anyone. Why is Walder Frey mocked and called "The Late Lord Frey" for joining RR when Tywin is held in the utmost respect (for a person who sacked the capital and ordered the rape & murder of a princess and her children)? Tywin didn't join the Rebellion until the war was all but decided but he's not held in the same contempt as walder frey. Can someone help explain this to me?

[@egalmohamoud6478]

amazing episode. One thing tho Ned is a perfect example of not minding your own business. Why would you go out of your way for Robert Baratheon when he doesn't even have your back or care about his kingship? Ned risked everything for his "friend" that didn't even do anythign to help him after his leg was broken

[@norahstar8622]

Loved this vid you guys are so amazing ❤️️😁

[@RadioWesteros]

Thanks so much!

[@chriszilla1123]

Yet another excellent episode. I've been listening to it over the last 2 evenings. I'm glad that with this and the future episode(s), we'll finally have a concise recollection of the war of the five kings from an overarching perspective, as I've only been through it linearly through the books. Will the second part be the last, or will this be going on much longer? Thank you for all your videos by the way, I've loved every one.

[@diegooddi1712]

The proof Robert was killed by Cersei via Lancel (though with a plot that is quite lame, but in pure Cersei fashion) is in AFFC, when in a Jaime POV we find Lancel having his religious conversion, so it's not just Varys making up Ned's mind. Awesome podcast, btw! :)

[@knightofsummer236]

you guys rock! keep it up! hope to see you dancing tonight with aziz and ashia :)

[@RadioWesteros]

ha, my equivolent is having a cup of tea

[@knightofsummer236]

earl grey ftw!!

[@shobhitkaul8076]

"heh". Loved Walder Frey imitation! I thought it was a wee bit quick for an old man.. should make it reedy nd slow next time yolkboyo 😊

[@hambino28]

I wish you both could do a PSUEDO AD for the Season 7 Finale woth Westeros History. Haha mayhaps a super chat could get you both to consider it.

[@RadioWesteros]

Ha, that might be tricky ...

[@joshuachandler1750]

I don't think I'll take Walder Frey up on that invitation.

[@RadioWesteros]

Heh!

[@ThePeterBluth]

We've seen how his parties always end.

[@AudreyDurden]

shall we return the winter

[@jimmybones4299]

shameless plug, anyone that digs Radio Westeros should strongly consider Patreon support. The Varamyr episode alone makes it well worth the effort. Even get the occasional reading from Lady Gwyn.

[@momichisan]

D Mosh I will make this a priority now, thanks for reminding me. Loveeeee the work of these guys.

[@t-rexcellentreviews1663]

The Varamyr episode really is just that good.

[@thesnowinwinterfell2571]

WOOHOOOOOOO!

[@kiChiSaga]

thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and then some!

[@RadioWesteros]

You're welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

[@lordgregory9107]

Yeessss!!! Finally!!!!

[@michelleyoung9621]

Soooo...the Blackfish is badass...any plans for an episode on him?

[@RadioWesteros]

No immediate plans (he's one for when TWOW comes out we think)

[@hadleighmoon9815]

Radio Westeros Will you be going back doing additional content for characters you have already covered who will feature in TWOW?

[@RadioWesteros]

More than likely, especially Jon, Sansa, Arya etc

[@reign1978]

Sorry if this has already been asked. But, why no episodes about Tyrion. Btw, I'm a big fan

[@RadioWesteros]

we were waiting for TWOW to cover Tyrion (and Bran) .... and it was delayed and delayed and delayed

[@prof.cecilycogsworth3204]

What was the music you used for the intro to the section "The Five Kings?"

[@RadioWesteros]

That is called "Dark Times" by the one and only Kevin MacLeod :)

[@prof.cecilycogsworth3204]

Thanks! That haunting music has done just that- haunt me, rather like the music they use on the website of the Irish tapestry of GoT. www.ireland.com/features/game-of-thrones-tapestry/ (yes, I know what it is)

[@carolynchafin4549]

YAY

[@thesnowinwinterfell2571]

[@walkingdude8248]

Catelyn Stark. This is mostly your fault.

[@scottr640]

Hail radio westeros! Saving us book worms from the villainous D&D and their terrible writing

[@martinrheaume5393]

#heh

[@geeellohdelatorre8238]

So much blahblah for a whole story that can be told in 10mins! 😡
