Both are incredibly insightful to the world of ASOIAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nozlym Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 also might be worth a check on Elios (Ran) channel as well. not as active as it use to be but still some good vids up on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Of Winter Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Wars and politics of ice and fire. They have essays and podcats instead of videos - but they're doing such a great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nymeria-of-Royne Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Wars on Politics of Ice & Fire podcast is pretty good, EXCEPT I find it impossible to listen to it because of Nina. Her intonation, speech pattern, pitch and sound is like listening to nails on a chalkboard. I believe it's a generational thing. Either young women today vocal fry my ears raw or they intently communicate with intentional force and, like Nina, squeak out intonations that make my ears bleed. Her book section readings are agonizing, for me. I'm sure she's a very "nice" and clearly intelligent person, and this is not really "personal" it's just I believe it's important some people realize they're are just not meant for Radio. Some of the podcasts and vlogs are fantastic and it has a lot to do with "presentation". Other ASOIAF women who ARE indeed engaging and have audio friendly voices are, Linda A., for example who is easy to listen to while she also has a strong opinions and a great knowledge of the material.

Isobel Harper Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Vassals of Kingsgrave. Their videos include chapter (published and WoW spoiler chapters) and other story arch (for example, FeastDance series) analyses, popular scene re-readings (Septon Meribald "broken men" speech, Wyman Manderly "Stark men" speech, etc.), and character analyses, as well as some reviews of Martin's other works.

Knight Of Winter Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I probably like Preston Jacobs better than most people here. I find his analysis to be informative and insightful, and usually correct (just take a look of his videos about Pink Letter or Quarth internal politics, for example), his problem mainly lies how he directs it into wild speculation unsupported by evidence (or even common sense, on a few occasions). But as an analyst, he can truly be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then he often takes off on a wild ride and loses me. That said, I still always watch. Keep it up PJ. edit: typos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is great about providing well thought out theories and backing up all of his analysts with real evidence. I wanna check out Vassals and Radio Westeros on my next day off.

DragonSnow Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Big Fan of Preston Jacobs. Don't know if he will be correct that ASOIAF will end up being a sci fi story but his ideas are very thought provoking and I would never have read some of the 1000 world universe stories if not for him.

Jaime4Brienne Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I like this woman. She comes up with a lot of interesting ideas and I love the passion that she shows. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVlY4C6DQVx5jwp9DWyvAdw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think about his idea for Dornish Master Plan? I say he is right to certain point because plan we are presented can be constructed in one afternoon and not 17 years.

FreyPiesForSkagos Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I will take the opportunity and promote our own little channel here, I guess.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTt2r_WhoNxM7q76opsThag Our channel is very new and we are still only beginning to pick up steam, but I like to think we are not all that bad. Have a look, if you like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
