Thanks to the "SPOILERS...ALL...BOOKS!" voice actor. Underappreciated. A staple of this channel.

[@egoborder3203]

listening to this podcast is like discussing the books with a group of close friends. Thanks again!

[@michal22011]

And it seems that friends are more careful readers than You;) at least in my case;)

[@UAPReportingCenter]

Well said! It's so insightful and calming. Def my favorite ASOIAF channel. Production quality is just amazing and always luv the adverts

[@wvhoipolloi7035]

It is Radio Westeros that keeps me invested in Planetos. If it were not for Yolkboy and Lady Gwynn, I would have abandoned this series when I gave up hope of ever seeing it completed back in 2017. Every episode is a real treat, and its the only podcast I will drop everything to listen to. Thanks for your incredible talent, and what seems to me an uphill labor of love.

[@RadioWesteros]

Thank you so much for the comment and kind words! We're happy you're still invested and thankful to have you as a listener :) Cheers -LG & yb

[@patelien]

Thanks yolkboy and lady Gwen. I could hug you both too death.

[@threeeyedgoddess7635]

the opening music is brilliant always love the shows

[@barrilrayder]

This episode should have as many views as the grand northern conspiracy one, so good, i didn't know about the Arturian parallels with Rhaegar and Lyanna, please more of that.

[@Piperdogloveshats]

You guys are by and large the best . Thank you for your great work. These podcasts have been s life saver

[@SabbiaVivo]

See you at the crossroads, crossroads, crossroads

[@threeeyedgoddess7635]

Yolkboy, your reading of Sandor Clegane's plea for a quick death from Arya is Shakespearean! Bravo!

[@prof.cecilycogsworth3204]

Such a pleasure, as always. Content, presentation and that pinch of theory. Top-notch!

[@yusufs1676]

I like to listen to podcast when I go to sleep but yours never works because I end up staying up to listen for the full 2 hours. Thank you for another great one!!!

[@simonescala9806]

I knew it was going to be good. But this good? Imho one of your best. Thx to the guy who prompted the episode and thx to you as always

[@AUPackmule]

I really enjoyed this. Its very nostalgic. Probably just my mood. I dont know why, but Ive never run through your playlist before. Today is the day. All 62. So it may take a few days. Thank you for all your hard work.

[@RadioWesteros]

You're welcome! That's a pretty long playlist to tackle in one go. Hope you made a dent in it though! Thanks for listening :)

"head south singin' it for Wally, Easy E & uncle Charlie, the Buddha God's got 'em, and Imanna miss everybody...."

[@kevinmoore4237]

Oh my ... that is an absolutely brilliant parallel you've drawn between Sandor defeating one foe, then being saved by Arya, and then Brienne defeating one foe, then being saved by Gendry. And of course ... all of it at Robert Johnson's Crossroads. That's a truly sick insight. You guys are really on it.

[@osirisgem]

Oh thank god, I was going through withdrawal. Love you guys.

[@TheMRxCRUMPET]

Can’t wait to listen to this later. I expect it’s going to be as great as usual!

[@winterthekid]

Great episode guys; you're absolutely right about the Crossroads Inn, it'll probably be the place for some momentous action! Even if such action has already happened in the past, it'll become known in future books. Maybe just the knowledge of what really happened at the Inn will be reason enough to determine the outcome of future events!...

[@fantasycuttlefish]

My favourite insomnia remedy. Please don't take that as an insult; I always fly to interesting places with you two & this one gets me to isle of faces with a trident. Thank you.

always excellent. Quality over quantity!

[@conniesuper9892]

I love you two!!Thank you💙💚💛💜❤💗💞💖💝💟❣💕

[@ViolentMessiah666]

Yes! Much love LG & YB you guys are awesome😀

[@muckymucks]

I meant to only listen to a few minutes just to get a taste of the episode and listen to the entire episode at work tomorrow. I'm already an hour and a half in. It's just too good! Thank you, Yolkboy and Lady Gwyn!

[@RadioWesteros]

Aww thanks! And you're welcome!

[@nateschab5767]

You two are truly doing the Lord's work. :)

[@leannepowell8709]

Re-listening to this. Its one of my favourites and an absolute triumph!

[@RadioWesteros]

Thanks!!! That means a lot ☺️ Fwiw it’s also one of my personal favorites (though we love all our “children” 😜) - LG

[@kathymag31]

Great episode!!! Thanks a lot!!!

[@DichotomousRex]

Years ago all I could hear was Nine Inch Nails... ...now when I listen to Ghosts I hear the Radio Westeros "Theme"... Impressive. I think that's exactly what TR + AR were going for when they Creative Commons released Ghosts. They provided a soundtrack to a thing that didn't exist.

[@meenadevade8039]

Thanks for such an amazing experience. Love your Podcast. Always an awesome experience!!!❤❤❤

[@edricdayne6555]

I love your videos you're the best

[@kevinmoore4237]

I've thought this would be a fantastic topic for years - thanks!

[@thomasmcmahon9219]

Cheers lads!! quality as always

[@austroleviticus8922]

Thx very much.....again!

[@DutchFurnace]

First thing tomorrow! 2:15AM here :)

[@reddirt780]

Thank You!

[@FOGSmokebeer]

cool thanks guys :) keep up the good work

[@QueenDaenerysTargaryen]

If I look back I am lost.

[@ZeinabKazemi90]

Have you guys heard of the theory that Marillion is little finger's agent? He supposedly called out Catelyn on purpose in the inn.

[@UAPReportingCenter]

Always amazing

[@whereuwannabe7796]

Catelyn kidnapping Tyrion may be the single dumbest thing done in the series to date.

[@sertorrhenclegane]

Impulsive, sure. Dumb? I don't know. I like to put myself in the position of the person who commits the act. This was possibly her only shot at getting justice for Bran. Catelyn had a pretty good read on Robert and knew he was going to be about as useful as a dick on a septon and Ned's hands were tied, so it was all on her. Now, I know a lot of people like to consider this the start of the war, but I've never been convinced, considering how fast Tywin mobilized his men and got them to the Riverlands. Mark my words, this was the pretext he was looking for to strike while Robert was alive.

[@scottr640]

Nah, catelyn releasing jamie was much more of an error imo

[@UAPReportingCenter]

Yea Catelyn letting Jamie was monumentally stupid

[@whereuwannabe7796]

@@sertorrhenclegane Whether Tywin was ready to strike or not is debatable. We probably will never know so that's whatever your head canon is. But to kidnap the queen's brother while your daughters and husband reside in the royal castle isn't the height of intelligence.

[@whereuwannabe7796]

@@sertorrhencleganeI really doubt Tywin was poised to attack the Riverlands for no reason. He also said he attacked because Tyrion was taken.

[@kevinmoore4237]

Relistening to this one ... every time I hear a passage from the text I think about how utterly full of shit the show was, and find myself craving Winds of Winter in the worst way.
