Episode 13: A GAME OF THRONES, EDDARD II "Affairs of the State"

Hello and welcome back to the NotACast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast going through A Song of Ice and Fire one chapter a week! Today, Emmett and Jeff are pleased to present you with "Affairs of the State:": our analysis of AGOT, Eddard II! This week, we: - Answer two more questions - Get in depth on Robert's psychology - Theorize about Varys being a conduit of bad information to Robert - Jorah Mormont and why it had to be Ned who went to bring him justice - Wylla and how GRRM wants us to pay attention to the different stories on Jon's parentage - Jaime and the Unsatisfying Warden of the East subplot - POV intersections: how Ned and Jaime view the killing of Aerys II. Next Week: Jon and Tyrion go on a road trip the opposite way!
