In a cut segment from MM E4, a broken man gets on a soapbox to defend a Robert’s Rebellion Spinoff against a horde of maesters and George RR Martin himself. This cut, bonus episode originally takes place during Maester Monthly’s 4th Episode directly at 1:20:12.

00:00 – Introductions

Maester Monthly, your favorite (pseudo)monthly podcast, has returned for Episode III!

We’re continuing a new podcast hosted by us, the moderators of /r/asoiaf. Maester Monthly is our space to talk about our favorite recent highlights from the subreddit, as well as doing a little in-depth ASOIAF discussion of our own.

This episode covers some of our favorite stuff from March (and early April) 2017. We’ve enhanced our segment, the Unpopular Opinion Thunderdome, and debate the conflict between Bowen Marsh and Jon Snow – was Jon to blame for his future? Or Was Bowen Marsh just a weasel? Finally, we conclude the hour with a March, Women’s History Month, discussion of the Women of Westeros!

Your hosts are /u/Bookshelfstud, /u/glass-table-girl, and /u/JoeMagician; we’re joined this episode by Very Special Guests /u/B4ssm4st3r, /u/Fat_walda, and /u/MightyIsobel!
