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!

In this episode, Sansa Stark begs the newly-crowned King Joffrey for mercy for her father Eddard, and Joffrey agrees! We love a happy ending here at the NotACast...

This week, we:

-Wonder how Sansa would have fared as the Tyrells' hostage rather than the Lannisters'

-Discuss Robert's controversial tapestries, both as metaphor and political tool

-Say goodbye (for now) to Barristan Selmy--I'm sorry, "Arstan Whitebeard"

-Dig into Barry's role in the Varys/Illyrio Conspiracy

-Cheer on our courageous daughter, Sansa Stark, as she sticks her neck out to save her dad (her non-us dad, that is)

Next week: Lauren aka Shakespeare of Thrones joins us to discuss Eddard XV, Ned's sorrowful final chapter down in the black cells.
