Surprise, Craster! It's a boy! But that's not as surprising as the mutiny that takes his life and that of the Old Bear.

Sobbing, we started another POV.
As the supernatural threat rises, so does Sam's courage, whether he knows it or not. Yolkboy of Radio Westeros joins us to explore Sam's psyche as his childhood trauma gets a dose of even more trauma, thanks to the wights and the Others chasing the Night's Watch (or what's left of it). P.S. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the upcoming Radio Westeros episode all about Samwell Tarly on their channels!

Brienne arrives on the Quiet Isle, where the scuttlebutt says that the Hound is at peace. But as Brienne confronts Westeros's limitations on their gender, Brienne finds themselves at anything but peace. Lo the Lynx joins us to talk about the narrow paths before Brienne, gender nonconformity and religion, and continuous acts of claiming one's identity.

Whispers, Crabbs, and fools... for a moment, the water transforms into whispers. The songs are alive as is the magic in the sword. But Brienne's innocence dies: "I'm sorry I didn't trust you. I don't know how to do that anymore."

Brienne returns to Maidenpool and has a few reunions with folks from the late King Renly's camp. Like many reunions, her meetings with Hyle Hunt and Randyll Tarly are unpleasant. But it's not cause for getting crabby: That happens later with the entrance of Nimble Dick Crabb.

Brienne continues her adventure, learning a history lesson about Duskendale and its extinct houses. She gets her shield repainted to a very familiar image: a shooting star at sunset above an elm tree. After, she adopts a kid.

It's all about intentions—from those of the knife's unseen tip to Asriel's new vehicle to those of our heroes (and ambiguous villains). As the knife is mended, Iorek, Will, and Lyra begin to express doubts while Mrs. Coulter gives the performance of a lifetime.

Where there's a will, there's a way—whether that's a way to get back to the North or secure the Northern succession, that is. Although, it seems the way to the Twins is quite rainy, delayed, and full of time for plotting. Lady Gwyn of Radio Westeros joins us to help break down the implications of Robb's will, Jon's parentage, and the rise and fall of Catelyn's hopes.

As the Starks and Tullys say farewell to one more family member, King Robb wonders, “I have won every battle, yet somehow I’m losing the war.” Two representatives promise amends but really, they're promising just -ends-

Due to some personal life updates, we're experiencing a few production delays—but that just means all of you get bonus episodes! Our regularly scheduled episode for The Amber Spyglass will be delayed a few days, for release between September 26-28, but until then, please enjoy this special episode brought to you by The Dust Podcast (check out their links below!) and our patrons.
When season/series 2 of the His Dark Materials show ended, we joined our good friends Matt (Double M) and Holly of The Dust Podcast to dissect some of our favorite musical moments in the show and what makes the music of His Dark Materials so good. This episode, though, is just a snippet, a taste of the sort of musical analysis and story analysis that you can get regularly from The Dust, so be sure to check them out and subscribe to them.
