Hello! And welcome to a very, very special edition of the NotACast ... podcast - a patreon sample episode where PoorQuentyn and BryndenBFish throwdown on the fate of Ser Barristan Selmy!
 
Now, if you listen to us regularly, you know that typically, we give you all one chapter per week, but this past week, both Emmett and Jeff had some IRL responsibilities which prevented them from recording the next chapter episode. So, instead as a little treat, we are making our first patreon-only episode of the NotACast podcast available to the general public! 
 
In this nearly 2 hour long episode, we cover topics like:
- The story of Ser Barristan so far
- Do we like Barristan? Is he a hero or a villain? (The answer may surprise you!)
- Emmett's arguments: the cowboy's last ride, the dangers in Meereen, the need to hew down the # of POV characters
- Jeff's arguments: Barristan as a Rhaegar fanboy and what Aegon's reveal would mean to Barristan, Dany is too OP for the second dance of the dragons, Barristan's guilt in serving Aerys and how that may mean something when a reborn Dany arrives back in Westeros 
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!)
