A lit-analysis cast currently reading ASOIAF POV by POV
The Girls Gone Canon Cast is an exceptional podcast that offers thorough and insightful discussions of various literary works, including A Song of Ice and Fire (ASOIAF) by George R.R. Martin and Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials series. The hosts, Chloe and Eliana, bring a refreshing perspective to these books with their intelligent commentary, witty banter, and extensive knowledge of the source material.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the in-depth coverage it provides for ASOIAF. Going beyond what the show has offered, Chloe and Eliana delve into the intricacies of Martin's world, analyzing character motivations, exploring thematic elements, and even making predictions about the future of the series. Their feminist lens adds an important dimension to their analysis, often shedding light on overlooked aspects of female characters. Additionally, the hosts' chemistry is palpable, making each episode enjoyable to listen to.
Another standout feature is their coverage of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials series. Their episode-by-episode discussions provide a virtual book club experience for listeners as they explore the themes and symbolism within these beloved books. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to this fantasy series, Chloe and Eliana's insights will deepen your appreciation for Pullman's storytelling.
As for drawbacks, one minor complaint from some listeners is that there can be a tendency to overuse certain phrases or concepts. For example, some have found the repeated mention of characters "projecting" to be tiresome after a while. However, this is a small issue that does not detract significantly from the overall quality of the podcast.
In conclusion, The Girls Gone Canon Cast is an excellent podcast that provides entertaining and thought-provoking commentary on ASOIAF and other literary works. With their extensive knowledge and engaging personalities, Chloe and Eliana create a podcast that will keep you entertained during long car rides or work hours alike. Whether you're a book enthusiast or a fan of the respective TV adaptations, this podcast is worth checking out for its insightful analysis and delightful humor.

New year, new book, same old Cersei (pretending to be #New for the High Septon). Margo helps us retrace the steps of Cersei's life and unpack the complexities of her familial and romantic relationships (which are kind of one and the same at times). Where to find Margo https://x.com/King_Margosha https://bsky.app/profile/kingcersei.bsky.social References from Lo Essay: A MOST UNCOMMON WOMAN: Cersei Lannister's Gender Trouble Essay: Maidens, maidenheads, and the patriarchy- Virginity norms in ASOIAF Lo and Virginie's podcast, Ragman's Harbour Mentioned Quotes Susan Stryker definition: "I use [transgender] in this book to refer to people who move away from the gender they were assigned at birth, people who cross (trans-) the boundaries constructed by their culture to define and contain that gender. Some people move away from their birth-assigned gender because they feel strongly that they properly belong to another gender in which it would be better for them to live; others want to strike out toward some new location, some space not yet clearly defined or concretely occupied; still others simply feel the need to get away from the conventional expectations bound up with the gender that was initially put upon them. In any case, it is the movement across a socially imposed boundary away from an unchosen starting place- rather than any particular destination or mode of transition- that best characterizes the concept of ‘transgender' that I want to develop here." From Leslie Feinberg's Transgender Warriors: “Didn't Joan of Arc wear men's clothes?” I asked a friend over coffee in 1975. She had a graduate degree in history; I had barely squeaked through high school. I waited for her answer with great anticipation, but she dismissed my question with a wave of her hand. ”It was just armor.” She seemed so sure, but I couldn't let my question go. Joan of Arc was the only person associated with cross-dressing in history I'd grown up hearing about. I thought a great deal about my friend's answer. Was the story of Joan of Arc dressing in men's clothing merely legend? Was wearing armor significant? If a society strictly mandates only men can be warriors, isn't a woman military leader dressed in armor an example of cross-gendered expression?" ibid. : "No wonder you've passed as a man! This is such an anti-woman society,” a lesbian friend told me. To her, females passing as males are simply trying to escape women's oppression – period. She believes that once true equality is achieved in society, humankind will be genderless. I don't have a crystal ball, so I can't predict human behavior in a distant future. But I know what she's thinking – if we can build a more just society, people like me will cease to exist. She assumes that I am simply a product of oppression. Gee, thanks so much." From Alica Spencer-Hall and Spencer Gutt's Trans and Genderqueer Subjects in Medieval Hagiography: "Marginalised identities are often written out of the historical record by those with the privilege of formulating “historical truth”. The Middle Ages is frequently viewed as a time “where men were men, women were women, everyone was the same race and practised the same faith, and no one was corrupted by technology, sexuality or democracy”. This is not how any medievalist worth their salt would put it. Disingenuous interrogation of the presence of trans people in history is rarely about the factual specifics of the past alone. If talking about trans lives is “anachronistic”, then “trans-ness [is] not an inextricable part of humanity or human diversity”. The transphobe's dream is an imaginary medieval past in which everyone knows their (gendered) place. Similar themes emerge in the usage of the Middle Ages by the alt-right and beyond: those who fantasize a past in which everyone who mattered was straight, cisgender, white, and Christian. White supremacists and fascists weaponize the Middle Ages to justify their hatred. ------ Eliana's twitter: https://twitter.com/arhythmetric Eliana's reddit account: https://www.reddit.com/user/glass_table_girl Eliana's blog: https://themanyfacedblog.wordpress.com/ Chloe's twitter: https://twitter.com/liesandarbor Chloe's blog: liesandarborgold.com Intro by Anton Langhage

Tune in to the MIDSEASON FINALE OF UNLEASH THE D.

We're back with UNLEASH THE D for season two of House of the Dragon. Tune in for a very casual conversation with our friend Glidus on what to expect when you're expecting HOTD S2, what it's like to have brothers (idk), and spectacle in House of the Dragon - what does it take to adapt from pages of a history book to the screen, and just how does Ryan Condal do it? check out Glidus' interview with Raya Golden on Tuf Voyaging Glidus plays both the good sport and an honorable girly gone canon in this episode. you can find him online at..... https://www.youtube.com/@Glidus https://www.youtube.com/@glimbus https://www.youtube.com/@MateriaYoutube https://x.com/NotGlidus
We're back with UNLEASH THE D for season two of House of the Dragon. Tune in for a very casual unserious episode with a twist: this episode is BOOK SPOILER FREE (mostly), and will be the ONLY episode we post during the season that is book spoiler free. Chika comes along for the ride to tell us her opinions on that Dragon Show as someone who has not read the books. Chika shares her initial impressions on season one with us and reveals her alliances.

Here in the House of Canon, we're hard at work preparing the HOTD primer series that critics are calling "UNABASHEDLY GREAT" (Unleash the D S2) as well as getting ready for HOUSE OF THE DRAGON S2. No episode today - instead, enjoy a reveal of our first three UNLEASH THE D guests, as well as when you can look forward to hearing the episodes hit your streams. Buckle up - it's going to be a crazy (dragon) ride. patreon.com/girlsgonecanon
Now available for the public! Chloe and Eliana read another GRRM short story from the Thousand Worlds universe: Butterbumps—wait, no, Bitterblooms. A girl lost during deepwinter gets swept away by a magical woman to journey among the stars... or does she? Don't forget to check out "Suzanne" by Leonard Cohen, the song that inspired this story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76OOON5QYr0 --- Intro by Kevin MacLeod, "Fairytale Waltz"
Top regrets of my life: Not splitting these Jon chapters to make more than two episodes, because WOW. What a ride. Griff decided to add an extra syllable to make himself a "griffin," once more. That's right, Jon Connington is back, and he's taking prisoners (it's his family). Welcome home, how's it feel to be back, strolling down memory lane? Well, Jon Con's got thoughts on that.

We have waited six years to finally get to this POV... but that's only half as much time as Jon Connington has been pretending to be dead. A lost lord finds himself as his hand count down his time left in the story.
