JoeMagician will be our guest for the April 23rd episode, so how about we pick something fitting?
Let's go with... A Theme of Dreams.
Given the Targaryen vibe, we'll also say the Poll Must Have Three Choices
This week is House Celtigar, and there is no livestream Sunday the 30th (we'll be at IaFCon).
In this episode, voted on by patrons, we talk about House Celtigar, the Red Crabs of Valyria, rulers of Claw Isle, said to own both a Valyrian steel axe and a kraken-summoning horn!

The Black Goat, the largest forest in the known world, Valyrian steel, sacrifice, Emperor Aurion of Valyria, the 3000 Unsullied, all sorts of magical discussion, and our usual breakdown and analysis of the city, region, characters and influences!

Y'all voted between four magical & obscure locations and chose The Free City of Qohor! So let's talk blood magic, Valyrian steel, and other wholesome things.

An episode all about the longest-lived Lord of Winterfell, the Wolf of the North aka the Old Man of the North. We will be meeting him in Season 2 of House of the Dragon...
2023-04-03 08:43:53 +0000 UTC View PostThis week is Cregan Stark, the Sunday after is Qohor!
Also, we are in the process of finding a new Sunday for Baelor, and will get it back on the schedule ASAP.
Let's do an island-based House history this time. This group is quite colorful, we've got purples and blues and reds and greens... (Multiple choice is on for this one):
We won't have Sean in this episode, so let's do a spoilery topic for House of the Dragon - the life of Cregan Stark. We will be meeting Cregan in HOTD season 2 as a much younger man!

A fun pivot away from our scheduled episode... Theories are always a good time, and you've given us so much to work with.

We had to reschedule the planned 3/26 episode (date tbd), so let's do part 2 of our Trial By Theory episode. Comment a theory and we shall deliver final judgment! Or a wild guess. (no trial by combat permitted in this one).
2023-03-26 06:04:20 +0000 UTC View PostI'm feeling a worldbuilding topic, shall we?

We are joined by Nina Friel (GoodQueenAly) for an episode discussing the life (and suspicious death) of Baelor the Blessed, looking at historical comparisons along the way.

Breaking down the importance, details, participants and impact of the decisive battle during Robert's Rebellion. From Jon Connington to Dany to Barristan to almost every Stark and most of the Lannister POV's, not to mention non-POV's who were there like Wyman Manderly, Roose Bolton and Elder Brother, we have a lot of accounts of what happened that day... but also quite a few mysteries, and several instances of dreams and prophecies which refer to it.
2023-03-20 11:24:06 +0000 UTC View PostWe won't have Sean for this episode so let's go spoiler-ish. Topics set during the Dance that we sometimes have to... dance around.
Multiple choice allowed for this one!
Join us for an episode on the Battle of the Trident - Robert slays Rhaegar here, but quite a lot else happened too!

We are joined by Dr. Kavita Mudan Finn for an episode on Mushroom. The man, the myth, the legend...emphasis on myth and legend! This 'Mushroom-isode' is a discussion on sources - both the veracity of the tales and speculation on the existence and life of Mushroom, supposed chronicler of The Testimony of Mushroom, and the source of some of the events in House of the Dragon.

We evaluate a batch of theories sent in by you, including a discussion on what helps makes a quality theory. Good times, fun chats, and some giveaways!
2023-03-06 13:20:18 +0000 UTC View PostIf you listen to us via the Patreon private RSS feed, you should be hearing ad-free versions. We don't have the ability to shut ads off in other places for select people, so joining us here won't change anything on any other platform: iTunes, Google, Spotify, YouTube etc.
We edit the ads out manually after recording our livestreams, so it's possible one slips through from time to time. There may be some older ones out there we never took note of.
So if you catch an ad on the pri...
And double-whammy, we're excited to have Nina back on too! 2 awesome guests in March. We're going to bump the Battle of the Trident episode one week to fit with our guests schedules. So here's what's upcoming:
- March 5th: Trial by Theory
- March 12th: This Poll
- March 19th: Battle of the Trident
- March 26th: Baelor the Blessed with Nina Friel(!)
(This poll ends Sunday March 5th at 7 Eastern)
There have been so many great (and Great) bastards with stories ranging from tragic to epic, if not both, and some of them are still ongoing. This episode is dedicated to those with the name "Flowers" as a group and as individuals, which will take us through a variety of timelines. locations and scenarios... With all that of course we'll offer predictions and insight and plenty of imagination. And some laughs, don't forget the laughs.
2023-02-27 12:05:56 +0000 UTC View PostWith the schedule changes, here's where we're at:
Feb 26 - Bastard Squad: A History of Flowers
Mar 5 - Trial by Theory
Mar 12 - ???
Also we are tentatively scheduling Fire & Blood Rereadis to start Sunday Aug 13th!
Let's do a famous battle episode!
I went back and re-edited the Oakenfist episode from Feb 2019 (almost exactly 4 years old... and pre-covid so it feels like 14 years). This time using editing software we didn't have back then. With all livestreams there's imperfections I can't fix, but it makes for a cleaner and tighter listen, and one I thought would be fun since his name has come up a lot in recent months.
The life of Alyn Velaryon, adventurer, explorer, diplomat, commander, would-be dragontamer, hero, savior... All...
We had to postpone last Sunday's giveaway episode, Trial by Theory, until March 5th (so email us your theory submissions at westeroshistory@gmail.com before then!) - this Sunday February 26th, we have an episode voted on by y'all - Bastard Squad: A History of Flowers. From famous bastards of the Reach to ones to watch out for still...!

Since I'm making the poll here on Valentine's day, let's go with a theme of heart and flower (sigils)

Alternatively, email us at westeroshistory@gmail.com - we will be giving away a handful of shirts to people who submit theories and to people in the livechat! This episode will be on March 5th.

The story of Prince Aemon the Dragonknight was too big for us to fit in one episode, but he wasn't too big for the cage that House Wyl put him in... which is where we left you hanging, with Aemon hanging over that pit of vipers. In this episode we discuss his rescue, and his rescue of his rescuer. This is his time as Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, the era of King Baelor the Blessed, then Aemon's own father King Viserys II, then his unworthy brother Aegon IV with his beloved sister Naerys a...

We left you hanging, with Aemon hanging… still in the year 161, the same year King Daeron was killed, and Aemon captured. Join us for part 2 of our look at Prince Aemon the Dragonknight, this Sunday at 3 pm eastern.

We enter story-mode with this one, so sit back and enjoy (part 1 of) the tale of Prince Aemon the Dragonknight, considered by many to be the perfect knight, but his family life was anything but.

If you were expecting a nickname and haven't gotten one, please comment here (or just email us) and we'll get to dubbing you straight away!
Or, if you didn't request one before but have changed your mind, sound off here too (or email).
