Hello and welcome back to the NotACast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast going through A Song of Ice and Fire one chapter a week!

Today, Emmett and Jeff breakdown AGOT, Eddard XI, in which Ned Stark sits high atop the uncomfortable Iron Throne and does a bit of northern justice south of the Neck. But was this the smart play? So much to talk about …

This week, we talk about:

- Loras and Renly's relationship

- What's the future for Fire and Blood, Volume Two

- The Red Keep: a bloody history

- Tywin's real plan for the Riverlands

- Ned: smart in his plan for Tywin

- Ned: maybe not as smart to send his men away

- Ned: actually, he's smart guys. Deal with it.

Next week: AGOT, Sansa III!
