We’re taking a break from the usual light-hearted discussions like the one about atrocities and war crimes and go topical: amidst the Corona pandemic, we’re talking about plague and disease in Westeros and our own middle ages. You know, just to take your mind off things. Among the undeniable health risks, we also discuss why plagues generally don’t make for good storytelling and how GRRM employs them. Download the episode!
