MM4 The Five Year Gap
05/22/17 • -1 min
Maester Monthly is back for a massive Episode IV!
Maester Monthly is the r/asoiaf “modcast” about you for you, covering the hottest topics of the past month. This episode features...
- Subreddit Highlights: Our favorite stuff from April and May of 2017
- The Unpopular Opinion Thunderdome takes on the topic of the Game of Thrones Spinoffs
- Main Topic: The infamous Five Year Gap. Was George RR Martin right for doing it? What did it mean for AFFC/ADWD? What would the books look like without the Five Year Gap? And what does it all mean for The Winds of Winter?
Your hosts are /u/Bookshelfstud, /u/glass_table_girl, and /u/JoeMagician; we’re joined this episode by Very Special Guests /u/BryndenBFish, /u/-Sam-R-, and /u/AdmiralKird. We have also greatly enhanced our youtube video presentation, so check that out as well.
As always:
– We make NO MONEY from this, no ads/patreon etc. You can pay us in upvotes and sweet nothings whispered in our ears.
– A HUGE THANKS to /u/-Sam-R- and /u/AdmiralKird, our fearless, tireless editors/producers who put in an insane amount of effort to make sure we sound like fairly well-adjusted, funny people.

MM3 The Women of Westeros
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!
