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

Jeff is off for a couple months, so Emmett is resuming his Lord of the Rings episodes. Here's our episode wrapping up Book 4, Chapter 8, "The Stairs of Cirith Ungol," in which Frodo survives the Witch-King thanks to Sam and his stories, right before everything goes horribly wrong again.
