Thanks Werthead!

 

[Aegon the Unworthy]

I didnt think I would say this to another living being.....Thanks Wert-daddy, yer a testament to the entire Wert clan.

Ya know thats a lie, I knew I would someday say that to another living being. Why just the other day....

Incidentally, the link isn't working reliably (I just tried it several times and it led to an error page, then it suddenly worked again). You can also access it through here.

Aegon, you started out a little off, and now you're just downright weird. What happened?

 

[Lacedaemonian]

Breach birth I reckon Arya. He will be climbing his tower soon, with his ak47 in hand.

 

[Aegon the Unworthy]

Its the isolation....oh and the butterflies, they're plotting against me.

But seriously everything is tongue in cheek, Ill bring it back to semi-normal soon.....my apologies to you Arya (but just you, not TK or TSW....theyre plotting with the butterflies)

Right after I take a flamethrower to those butterflies

 

[the smiling weirwood]

The butterflies told me to tell you, "Moonlight"

Don't know what it means but they said you would know.

 

[Wiggum]

First one was pretty.....meh.

 

[red_temple]

I think Aegon lost his meds...

 

[Werthead]

Second podcast available. GRRM discusses how he started out as a writer.

 

[gigi]

I hope the third one is interesting.

 

[Wiggum]

Yeah, the first two have been pretty mundane.
