Published: Nov. 30, 2020, 4:36 p.m.

Hello and welcome back to the NotACast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast that usually goes through A Song of Ice and Fire one chapter a week! But not here, oh no, not here.\xa0\n\xa0\nIn this episode (previously available only to our $5+ patrons and now available for everyone), we take a deep dive into "The Forsaken," Aeron Damphair's released chapter from TWOW. If you like what you hear, check out our Patreon for many more bonus episodes and benefits!\xa0\n\xa0\nThis week, we:\xa0\n\xa0\n\n- Frame Aeron's descent as both physical and spiritual\n- Discuss how George creates Euron as a patchwork villain made of contradictions and eerie juxtapositions\n- Contextualize Aeron's first drug-induced nightmare within the psychedelic history of the United States\n- Analyze the apocalyptic imagery of said nightmare\n- Try and fail to warn Falia Flowers of what's coming for her\n\xa0\nNext week: our regularly scheduled programming resumes back in Winterfell with Theon as he continues to rule justly and nobly ... or makes a botch of it while having nightmares and getting owned by his sister again. And we'll be joined by a brand new special guest: Alisha Benton!|\n\nOur patreon:\xa0www.patreon.com/NotACastASOIAF\n\n\n\xa0\nOur twitter:\xa0twitter.com/NotACastASOIAF\n\n\n\xa0\nOur facebook:\xa0www.facebook.com/groups/289889118235797/\n\n\n\xa0\nOur youtube page:\xa0www.youtube.com/channel/UCmmDfPdG\u2026iew_as=subscriber\n\n\n\xa0\nEmmett's twitter:\xa0twitter.com/PoorQuentyn\n\n\n\xa0\nJeff's twitter:\xa0twitter.com/BryndenBFish
