Barristan's finest hour, or was it? But truly, this story is more about Aerys and Tywin than the great white knight.

2020-10-03 19:10:44 +0000 UTC View PostWe're on a bit of a roll here. Blackwood 2 went out for public release on Sunday but we're already set to record the Defiance of Duskendale tomorrow. This episode is more about the struggles between Aerys and Tywin and the greater political picture than Barristan's heroism, but of course he's a big part as well. Especially how he feels about it so long afterwards.
I am guesstimating a roughly 1 hour length on this one. (Blackwood 2 was 43 pages and came out around ~2 hours 12 minutes, ...
A look at all the heroes of House Blackwood since the coming of the Targaryens with lots of thoughts and ideas of what's coming next for them as Winter and the Dragons come. They are tied to both...

I have always struggled with ADHD and it's been particularly acute the last few weeks. I am eager to be back on a schedule. If you are missing VRR, well... so am I! That said, it is also past time that I admit doing VRR weekly while also trying to do scripted episodes is not working.
The best way I can express why, is that I need to be completely immersed in a topic for several days if not a week if not more. Typically I will have 20 t...
Our look at the book as a whole with guests Lady Gwyn, Ser Buckley and Nina Friel. We discuss the rise of magic, identity, bloodlines, offer some predictions and of course, discuss as many characters as we can.

We're going to keep to roughly the same number of chapters per week for the early part of the book, but fewer near the end. I prefer to avoid the 3+ hour episodes, and this will help with that.

In addition, we could split each week in half, doing half on Sunday and the other half on Wednesday (time TBA, but probably around 6 Eastern). Two recordings per week might allow more people to join, but we have nothing against keeping things as is. The podcast versions ...
