Episode 35: "Point Made; The Kingsmoot"


Listen Later

In this thirty-fifth episode of Learned Hands, the Official Podcast of the Westerosi Bar Association, Merry & Clint ask: Was anyone at the Kingsmoot any good at political persuasion?

Our analysis this week includes:

  • The continuation of our new running series where Your Hands evaluate the persuasive argumentation skills of your favorite and least favorite ASOIAF characters.
  • An overview of all of the reasons why political debates are terrible, awful, no good, really bad times.
  • Merry brings her vast experience with debates and competitive speechifying to bear. 
  • What the people demanded and we have provided in spades: Clint does more shitty accents. 
  • Your Hands weigh which was more horrifying, the Kingsmoot debates or the 2016 Presidential debates.
  • We enlist the Mighty WBA to lend their voices in support of the various Kingsmoot claimants!
