Published: Aug. 5, 2019, 10:59 a.m.

Hello and welcome back to the NotACast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast going through\xa0A Song of Ice and Fire\xa0one chapter a week!\nIn this episode, Maester Cressen stares down a giant Eye of Sauron in the sky above Dragonstone before meeting with his king...and the latter will be covered next week, as part of "Red, Part 2." Don't blame us, the chapter is 10,000 pages long!!\xa0\nThis week, we:\n-Consider why George has been stingy on Stannis-Shireen moments so far relative to the show\n-Give a quick overview of A Clash of Kings as we shift from book one of ASOIAF to book two\n-Set up the dynamic between the secular and sorcerous that will dominate the book\n-Talk about the siege of Storm's End and how it works as a foundation for Stannis' character\n-Ask the most important question of all: what's up with Patchface?\nNext week: Red, Part 2, introducing His Grace Stannis Baratheon, First of His Name. At long last.\xa0\nOur patreon:\xa0www.patreon.com/NotACastASOIAF\nOur twitter:\xa0twitter.com/NotACastASOIAF\nOur facebook:\xa0www.facebook.com/groups/289889118235797/\nOur youtube page:\xa0www.youtube.com/channel/UCmmDfPdG\u2026iew_as=subscriber\nEmmett's twitter:\xa0twitter.com/PoorQuentyn\nJeff's twitter:\xa0twitter.com/BryndenBFish
