[@patelien]

Always fall asleep with your podcast.(thats a compliment btw). But this one gave me straight up major nightmares, i jolted up after the Axe part. Thanks guys for the podcast.

[@davidbot5498]

This intro brings me back to when I was working away in the basement of a library, with the sound of your two voices getting me through it.. Thanks for all the great content!

[@RadioWesteros]

You’re welcome! Happy we could be there for you :))

"When the sun rises in the West and sets in the East," said George. "When the seas go dry and mountains blow in the wind like leaves. When the show ends, and I feel like writing again. Then you will get Winds of Winter and not before."

I've just finished listening to this and am so glad to see your high standard of production continues. After work, I'll listen to it again.

[@reginadoran6980]

This was excellent. I love all the Nightfort legends, so creepy!

[@MartinMarcVadman]

Very interesting! Enjoyed this podcast very much. Love all the mystery surrounding the North.

If Hell is frozen in Westeros, wouldn’t Hellhounds be icy wolves a.k.a Starks ?

[@alexanderz3556]

I'm SOOO excited! I love Radio Westeros!

[@ViolentMessiah666]

Excellent topic guys, looking foward to this series😊

[@osirisgem]

I always love new anything from you guys, and I will listen immediately if I see that it's new. I went from having dinner and drinks plans to " Call me next week ". ( cut to 2 hours after leaving this comment.) " I'm sorry you can't make dinner, I hope you feel better". " I feel fine... " " My mistake, I thought that was why you canceled." " No I just saw there is a new episode of a podcast I like..... sorry.I'm not sure why you thought I wasn't feeling well, I don't that I was giving that impression." "Well I guess I thought that because most people to cancel long standing plans for some podcast they can listen to any time ." (long awkward silence )....... " Maybe not the ones you listen too.."

Vallin Vallentine Sometimes it's okay to tell a lie lol. For example, in a situation like this.

[@connor6842]

Keep up the great work guys! I look forward to every show :)

[@RadioWesteros]

Thank you and enjoy ;)

[@whereuwannabe7796]

Best asoiaf content producers around. Sitting with a horn of ale to hand.

[@RadioWesteros]

thanks, enjoy the episode (and the ale!)

[@lorusb6126]

You guys are AWESOME

[@shieraseastar9300]

EXCELLENT!!! Thank you!!! :D

[@osirisgem]

On a side note, I love the fall, I love Halloween, I love the nuanced aire in the air. I was just thinking that it was too bad you didn't do a similarly themed show for the season only be presented with one in the middle of that thought. At first I was content to think that the world building lore that you examine had undertones that kinda had that sort of feel to them, again only to realize that real scary story is literally this whole story. People may not think it's ilk extremely reflective of a horror genre but we can all point to chapters and passages that remind us that it's not exactly Christmas Carol.

Vallin Vallentine Miss the change living on a warm planet as we do... Earth02. Not Planetos

[@sanriscribbles]

hyped for more myths and legends. SO HYPED. Great collections of legends, imho. @lucifermeanslightbringer they talk about our fav horn boi

[@conniesuper9892]

In Tyrion 1,he mentions as he's reading on the way to wall about dragonbone,being light and sharp as steel,black due to its high iron content. I think Dragonstone and Dragonbone both may be ingredients in dragonsteel,with fire and blood maguc...

[@cernunnos_lives]

Thanks for your hard work.

[@RadioWesteros]

thanks, hope you enjoy the episode ;)

[@wizz-the-smith4881]

Awesome episode Radio Westeros, I love any discussion regards the myths and look forward to the next instalments. Have you noticed how many of the legends are connected to subterranean evidence or caves/caverns? In this episode you mentioned Winterfell, Storm's End, Nightfort, The Hightower, the Whispers, the Wall, Gendal & Gorne etc. All of which have caves/caverns/subterranean evidence. Your next episode will potentially include Casterly Rock, Horn Hill, Whispers again, Storm's End again etc. Perhaps these legends were using the 'underworld/otherworld/caves' for magical purposes just as the greenseers Bran and BR do? It may explain the wondrous tales of these legends, were they using greenseer magic? They certainly seemed to have the extended lives the greenseers are afforded. Anyway, I love all that you do and look forward to every episode you release. Keep up the great work. :)

[@RadioWesteros]

Hi Wizz - the underworld theme you highlight is certainly very interesting... George's employment of these settings add a lot to the mystery and the feeling of the 'unknown' in the caves, crypts, mazes etc. It's hard to tell if these people mastered longevity or it's tall telling. Glad you liked the episode and great to hear from you!!

[@TYTfan]

Thank you so much! Star eyes baby!

[@lululuxa7]

aww, you should have played the ballad of danny flint! such a beautiful song even though not with Martins lyrics... anyway, amazing episode as always!

[@joelwild8285]

Great Job!

Bored at work and RW comes to the rescue

[@RadioWesteros]

We aim to un-bore you!

[@DutchFurnace]

Woooooooooooooo! I'm 29, never had facebook/youtube or all that stuff accounts, but I signed up just for you guys (I'm including Westeros History in that "you guys"). Hope the support helps.

[@RadioWesteros]

Thanks so much! It definitely does, we couldn't do it without the support of our listeners :)

[@DutchFurnace]

Wow, a reaction from the Gods themselves, I'm never washing my monitor again.

[@johnlanouette8611]

I'm wondering if The thing That came in the night, is GRRM's nod to Stephen Kings IT. It seems interesting that it came back after a time of dormancy, and the kids it took were seen with it! Plus, how all the prentice boys saw something different...!

[@everdawn8212]

When you mentioned about how difficult it was to tell what taboos the NK had broken it made me think of the words spoken to open the door beneath the castle. Seemed like it was part of the Watch's vows but not the complete version we know in present time. Might there be a clue in that do you think?

[@Biend]

oh boy oh boy oh boy!!

[@conniesuper9892]

Winterfell a prison built over hot springs to keep it hot,as the prisoners within were likers of the COLD,the heat taking away their power? Is this similar to Starks not lasting long after going south?

[@Bluemilk92]

"Thing under the bed" sounds dirty to me.

[@Laurynassi]

79 sentinels sounds to me like a mass hysteria, that might have been caused by a glimpse of something... oh, from top of my head, the others?

[@RadioWesteros]

Interesting idea, especially given the first deserter we see left for that very reason. We don't know if the Others were active in that time, but who knows what other grumkins or snarks may lurk north of the Wall?

[@Laurynassi]

Sure, I went tin foil here :) but what makes me think it's not a simple desertion is the amount of men that left the wall. Lets say they planned the desirtion. They had to be certain that all of them are true deserters. It takes one to give them away. Also, to hope that 79 missing men won't be noticed right from the start is a bit dumb. To be able to get away from the wall, it has to be a spontaneous desertion of one shift.

[@conniesuper9892]

A thousand bloodstained hands,like bloodstained sacrificed COTF hands?

Sword of dragon bone= dragon glass. Dragon bone are as dark as obsidian per text in book

At first I thought you stole that grrm quote as an opener from my recent popular thread on reddit re: the best patchface theory ever crafted, but I've also realized this was posted a whopping 2 weeks before my thread. I think we both know you time travelled , and I'm highly disappointed. (Keep up the great work love your podcast)

[@RadioWesteros]

Hi Kevin, we rarely visit forums for this very reason and we're still working on the time machine ;)

[@kevinclaus]

Don't worry you aren't missing anything on the forums, and I enjoy the unspoiled views that you guys share with us. Thanks again for all the hard work!
