Joanna Lannister was released late last night for 7 day advance Patrons.

I like to start thinking about future episodes as far in advance as possible, so let's pick a chapter! "The North Remembers" is the favorite to win, but it's up to you, the voters to carry that through, or choose another...

Quick Update(!) and Question(?)

We've just sent out a few messages to people awaiting nicknames/titles. Please contact us if you feel that you've been left hanging. Patreon's messaging system has a few imperfections and we could've made a human error and let one slip past us. So this is just to make sure! Or, if you would like to change your existing name, this is a good time to do so.

The Joanna Lannister episode is recording this week if all goes according to plan. After that one, we're likely to do Euron at last... we've ...

Vote for the next "Aziz vs. Chapter"

This new polling feature will be how we decide which Aziz vs. Chapters to do from now now! Only Patrons can cast a vote, as this post is not visible to others.

The poll closes one week from now. For future polls, I'll bring back ones that did well in the voting but didn't win, and will remove the least popular options.

Dreams & Dreamers Q&A

The follow up to our (big ol') Dreams episode is here. Unlike past Q&A's, this one was not live, so it is a full production, and we were able to take more time considering the answers.

As usual, the link to the video is above, and the link to the mp3/podcast audio file is attached! Enjoy, and may your dreams be more pleasant than those of your favorite ASOIAF characters. (OK, that's not saying much!)

History/Mystery: Joanna Lannister

The Small Council, Lords of the Realm, Kingsguard, Powers Behind the Throne and Faceless persons have convened and come to an accord.

Their decision is that an episode dedicated to Lady Joanna Lannister shall be commisioned forthwith. We at the History of Westeros will create this and deliver it to the podcast realm directly.

The episode will focus on her history and character, as much as we can glean. Her relationship with her children, but Tywin most of all... and we shan't forget Aery...

Dreams & Dreamers follow up Q&A

Hey folks, just a note to remind you all that we're doing a Q&A for the Dreams episode to be released early 2017. This one will not be live (though most Q&A's still will be in the future) as we'd like to take extra time to consider the questions. 

So please post any questions you have here ! (you may also email at westeroshistory@gmail.com if you prefer)

Patrons get higher priority for when there are too many questions for us to handle, and of course we love to read aloud ...

The Great Empire of the Dawn

History of Westeros meets the Mythical Astronomy of Ice and Fire podcast in a beast of an episode. A number of epic topics are included: Azor Ahai, the Long Night, Strange Stone, the Amethyst Empress and Bloodstone Emperor, Sarnor, Yi Ti, the unusual looks found in the Hightower and Dayne families, and so much more!

NOTE: due to the joint nature of this episode, we are foregoing the usual VIP early release period. We felt it unfair to give the HoW patrons early access without also doing so...
