How & Why Egg Burned Down Summerhall - A Song of Ice and Fire - Dunk and Egg - Game of Thrones
What was "King Egg" (a.k.a. Aegon V) trying to do at Summerhall, and why did it go so horribly wrong? Those are the questions I'll answer, covering both the well-established Summerhall theories as well as some new ideas I am bringing to the table. Explosive dragon's eggs, visions of the Prince That Was Promised, kingsblood, wildfire, and potential maester conspiracy, plus a new find for the "Dunk held the sand-door at Summerhall" theory, it's all here.

Rickon & the Skagosi Will Destroy House Frey - Winds of Winter Predictions - A Song of Ice an Fire
Finally, a satisfying theory (with heavy foreshadowing) for what George Martin is going with Rickon's story! Since Rickon is a child, George has based parts of Rickon's plot on children's stories - Where the Wild Things are and Three Billygoats Gruff - and these stories also foreshadow this endgame! Walder Frey is a bridge troll, Skagos is an island of monsters who ride goats.. come inside and @GreyWasteTim and I will explain!

Maester Aemon Targaryen Explained - A Song of Ice and Fire - Game of Thrones
Aemon loves his brother Egg, and his brothers of the Night's Watch. He was once a Targaryen prince, and was once offered the crown... and he's been waiting for the Prince That Was Promised for a very, very long time, discussing the prophecies and portents with everyone from Egg to Bloodraven to Rhaegar to Jon and Sam. I'll also give my explanation for "kill the boy, and let the man be born."

The Weirwood Bones of Nagga / Grey King Greenseer Theory - A Song of Ice and Fire - Game of Thrones
Nagga's Bones, thought to be the fossilized ribcage of an ancient sea dragon, are in actuality the petrified weirwood ribbing of the Grey King's ship, which he flipped over and made into a magical longhall. In theory anyway - this is Grey King weirwood ark greenseer theory, at long last.

Aeron Got Patchfaced Theory: Mouthpiece of the Deep Ones - A Song of Ice and Fire - Game of ThronesThis theory was just too tasty to leave as a livestream, so we've edited it down and packed it with art! One of my very best theories, I'm quite proud
This theory was just too tasty to leave as a livestream, so we've edited it down and packed it with art! One of my very best theories, I'm quite proud of it, and it explains how the Deep Ones have been steering Ironborn culture since the very beginning!
We believe that George R. R. Martin has put a lot of effort and thought into creating a deeper dimension of archetype and symbol in his writing. He’s created connections between past and future, between sky and ground. He’s built on classic figures from world mythology and twisted them around in new and incredible ways to fashion his own archetypal characters whose divine roles are played out by the characters in the story. He’s done all of this not only to be artistic and clever, but because he’s actually participating in a grand tradition of esoteric, symbolic art. Keeping this tradition alive is of critical importance and tremendous value to society, and that is why I believe this facet of A Song of Ice and Fire is so worthy of study. This podcast is intended to be our vehicle to explore these inner workings, and it is fueled by enthusiasm, yours and mine.
