MM3 The Women of Westeros

MaesterMonthly@gmail.com (Maesters of r/ASOIAF) — Thu, 20 Apr 2017 15:17:03 +0000

Maester Monthly, your favorite (pseudo)monthly podcast, has returned for Episode III!

We’re continuing a new podcast hosted by us, the moderators of /r/asoiaf. Maester Monthly is our space to talk about our favorite recent highlights from the subreddit, as well as doing a little in-depth ASOIAF discussion of our own.

This episode covers some of our favorite stuff from March (and early April) 2017. We’ve enhanced our segment, the Unpopular Opinion Thunderdome, and debate the conflict between Bowen Marsh and Jon Snow – was Jon to blame for his future? Or Was Bowen Marsh just a weasel? Finally, we conclude the hour with a March, Women’s History Month, discussion of the Women of Westeros!

Your hosts are /u/Bookshelfstud, /u/glass-table-girl, and /u/JoeMagician; we’re joined this episode by Very Special Guests /u/B4ssm4st3r, /u/Fat_walda, and /u/MightyIsobel!

As always:

– We make NO MONEY from this, no ads/patreon etc. You can pay us in upvotes and sweet nothings whispered in our ears.

– A HUGE THANKS to /u/-Sam-R- and /u/AdmiralKird, our fearless, tireless editors/producers who put in an insane amount of effort to make sure we sound like fairly well-adjusted, funny people.

MaesterMonthly@gmail.com (Maesters of r/ASOIAF) — Thu, 16 Mar 2017 12:06:54 +0000

Maester Monthly, your favorite (pseudo)monthly podcast, is back!

Last month we kicked off a new podcast hosted by us, the moderators of /r/asoiaf. Maester Monthly is our space to talk about our favorite recent highlights from the subreddit, as well as doing a little in-depth ASOIAF discussion of our own.

This episode covers some of our favorite stuff from February (and late January) 2017. We introduce a new segment, the Unpopular Opinion Thunderdome, and debate the merits of A Feast for Crows – is it as Subtly Nuanced as some people claim? Finally, we round out the hour with an in-depth discussion of, fittingly, the Maesters and the Citadel.

Your hosts are /u/Bookshelfstud, /u/glass-table-girl, and /u/JoeMagician; we’re joined this episode by Very Special Guest /u/MightyIsobel!

MM1 Best of 2016

MaesterMonthly@gmail.com (Maesters of r/ASOIAF) — Mon, 06 Feb 2017 21:20:47 +0000

Hello!

As the recent Best Ofs have demonstrated, this subreddit somehow continues to churn out high-quality posts and discussions. We moderators are always bowled over by these posts, and wanted to provide people with a curated highlights reel of our personal favorite posts over the past month or so.

After months of discussing, planning, sweating, and chatting, we’ve put together a (pseudo)monthly podcast, Maester Monthly!

This episode covers some of our favorite posts from January 2017 (and very late December 2016); after those subreddit highlights, we then talk about all the Best Of winners for the Best Of 2016 awards. Your hosts are myself (/u/Bookshelfstud) and /u/glass-table-girl, with special guests /u/JoeMagician, and GRRM /u/BryndenBFish. /u/AdmiralKird pops up in there too.

A few notes:

We don’t make ANY MONEY off of this. At all. No ads, nothing like that. Just wouldn’t be right.
This wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible work of our editor/producer/music composer (seriously) /u/-Sam-R-. Sam is the Davos Seaworth of our team. He is a precious special man who needs to be protected at all costs.
It ALSO would not have been possible without the efforts of our doughty comrade-in-arms /u/AdmiralKird,who created our video material and graphics and generally made me, personally, lose my shit with his deadpan stylings.
