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!

Our eighth episode of the Not A Cast and our first introduction to the only character who has a POV chapter in all 5 published books of ASOIAF: Arya Stark!

This week, we talk:

- Arya, like Jon, as the Winterfell outsider

- Our first look into "female space" -- the sewing circle and the expectations placed upon Westerosi noble women

- Those two "sewing circles" -- the literal one and the training yard

- Our likes and dislikes

- R+L=J. Always.

- More abandoned foreshadowing!

- Some Sandor Clegane trivia

- Does Jon's line about finding Arya frozen with a needle still in her hand foreshadow her death? Opinions vary!

There's a lot here, and you won't want to miss!

In TWO weeks: The Things I do for love: AGOT, Bran I
