This week on Can I Just Say, the second panel dispatch from Con of Thrones: Daphne talked with Michael Monaco from Maester Monthly, as well as Luka Nieto and David Rosenblatt from Watchers on the Wall. We talked about power dynamics of the Common Folk who rose to be in the spheres of the Noble Families in the worlds of A Song of Ice and Fire / Game of Thrones and our favorite examples of those types of characters, including Melisandre, Varys, Davos and others.
Common-born characters such as Davos, Missandei, Bronn, Gilly and others play the game of thrones very differently than their noble counterparts. Some even play it better! Let's discuss why this may be and what we can learn from these differences. Featuring Luka Nieto and David Rosenblatt from Watchers on the Wall, Daphne Olive and Michael (bookshelfstud) of Maester Monthly.

Featuring Aziz from History of Westeros, Gemma from Secrets of the Citadel, and Joe Magician from Maester Monthly podcast and the Joe Magician YouTube channel. Recorded live July 15th, 2018
Hello! And welcome to a very, very special edition of the NotACast ... podcast! All about why we think that A DANCE WITH DRAGONS is the better book than A STORM OF SWORDS. And we're joined by A Song of Ice and Fire LUMINARY BookShelfStud AKA Michael! (@BookshelfStud on Twitter!) Now, if you listen to us regularly, you know that typically, we give you all one chapter per week, but recently we started a patreon campaign which kicks off on April 1st (No foolin'). To give you all a taste of the special episodes you will get if subscribe to our patreon for a mere $5/month or more. In this nearly 3 hour long episode, we cover topics like: - The strengths of ASOS (Stannis, Catelyn, Samwell, Battle of the Wall, Red Wedding, Purple Wedding) - The weakness of ASOS (Early King's Landing, early Arya/Bran, climaxes not spaced out) - ADWD's strengths: Quentyn! - ADWD as a study of leadership and its failures on the part of Dany and Jon - Delving deeply into the psychology of the characters - Getting at the heart of the themes that dominate DANCE and A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE as a whole. - Weakness of ADWD too! Orientalism, mid-point Jon, Dany, Tyrion chapters, the choppy endings and cliff-hangers - Finally, we get into the meta side: why we prefer ADWD over ASOS and talk about the fandom in 7 years since ADWD. It's great fun, and please consider our patreon if you're able to (But if not, no worries, friends. We'll keep doing our chapter by chapters for YOU!) To quickly recap what our patreon is and the reward tiers, it’s: $1-4/month: Sparrows: A Thank you from us at the end credits, special episodes $5-9/month: Poor Fellows: Thanks and show notes, special episodes $10-19/month: Sworn Swords:Thanks, show notes, special episodes 1 day early release and the option to submit a question for us to answer in our rotating “Question of the week” $20-29/month: Kingsguard: Thanks, show notes, special episodes 2 day early release and the option to submit a question for us to answer in our rotating “Question of the week”, special episodes $30 and above/month: Lords Commander: Thanks, special episodes, show notes, 3 day early release and the option to submit a question for us to answer in our rotating “Question of the week”, special episodes Thanks again to Michael for joining us.
