WAICGU #11: Spoilers and Whispers Abound
Ned VII – Arya III
In this Game of Thrones podcast from Tubby & Coo’s Mid-City Book Shop in New Orleans, host Candice Huber discusses the Song of Ice and Fire series along with her mom, Gail, who is reading it for the first time and has absolutely no knowledge of Game of Thrones.
In this episode, Candice and Gail discuss Ned VII, Tyrion IV, and Arya III in A Game of Thrones. After a break, Gail talks about the random spoilers she’s encountered. And in this segment, TONS of information is revealed as the tournament ends, Varys pays Ned a visit to discuss Jon Arryn’s death, and Arya overhears an interesting conversation. Gail contemplates and tries to put the pieces together as she learns more and the mystery begins to unravel.
If you’re a fan, listen to re-meet your favorite characters and to gain a new perspective from, as Gail puts it, “a total Game of Thrones virgin.” And if you’re in the same boat as Gail and also know nothing about ASOIAF, this is your chance to get caught up on the story with someone who is just as new to it as you are.
Read along, listen along, and follow Gail’s journey through the series as she discovers for the first time just how brutal it can be. When you read Game of Thrones with your mom, you win or you die (laughing).
