The February 2020 NotACast Update!
Added 2020-02-05 17:01:02 +0000 UTC
Good morrow, friends!
Welcome to the February NotACast update! In our recurring monthly update, we'll welcome new patrons, let you all know what's on our schedule, link to where you can find all our patreon episodes, and stay tuned to the end as we'll talk about our March patreon-only episode. Wait, March, not February? Yep! Stay tuned!
WELCOME TO OUR NEW PATRONS!
As you all know, we thank our small council and high lords/ladies on every podcast episode along with their unique title. We have found announcing all of those. But every one of our patrons is special to us.
In that light, we want to thank our new patrons who have signed up since our last update!
- Lady Mary C: a Poor Fellow patron
Ser H Robinson: a Sworn Sword patron - Ser Matthew M: a Poor Fellow patron
- Ser Joshua P: a Poor Fellow patron

PATREON STRETCH GOAL
As I'm sure many of you are tracking, we've revised our patreon goal to NINE HUNDRED total patrons. And if we hit that goal, we will release a full chapter analysis (in perhaps multiple parts!) of TWOW, The Forsaken. As of this writing, we are 51 patrons short, but that's okay. We know we'll hit the goal in the relatively near future!
And, if you're reading this post and aren't a patron, and you want to hear us do THE FORSAKEN, please consider becoming a patron at any level!
UPCOMING SCHEDULE
So, here's what we have upcoming general release schedule (Patrons receive these episodes earlier, of course!):
- February 10: ACOK, Daenerys II

CONCLUSION
Thank you all very, very, very, VERY much for supporting us. There is no way we could undertake this project without your amazing support. And we want to continue to earn your support. So, let us know how we're doing, and if you have a suggestion for us to improve on the podcast or on patreon, let us know in the comments below, shoot us a message on here or drop us an e mail at notacastasoiaf@gmail.com.
Much love,
Oh, wait. I nearly forgot!
March patreon!
So, we have a patreon-only episode planned for February already that we'll announce during our livecast on Monday, February 10th, but we wanted to let you all know that coming in March, we are going to open the floor to you all for patreon episode ideas. We figure the way we'll do it is that a post will go up in March, soliciting ideas. Then a vote will be held on the ideas, and we'll do the top vote-getter.
So, if you have a great idea for a podcast, you are welcome to let us know in the comments below here if you just can't wait, but remember to comment during our March 2020 NotACast update. And then you all will vote.
Thanks for everything, friends!
Emmett and Jeff

I love this podcast 🥴 Really looking forward to the Forsaken analysis after the 900 patron goal.

2020-03-02 12:37:45 +0000 UTCA thought for a Patreon Episode: pick several minor non-POV characters that interest both of you, with each one on the periphery of a distinct story arc. You could go over their backstories, their actions during the main book series, and theorize if they will be able to possibly affect their arc at all, or their odds of survival by the end of either TWOW or ADOS.

2020-02-06 10:45:30 +0000 UTCWe’re so sorry, Mary! It was an oversight on our part. Let me fix that now!

2020-02-06 03:38:08 +0000 UTCI've been following you guys for awile now and really enjoy all of your content. I am finally able to contribute to the support of thus endeavor. I did not see my name however on the shout out list. No biggie, I am easily overlooked and just thought it'd be neat to have my name up there with the crowd. Thank you for all you do, you guys are awesome!

2020-02-06 03:31:55 +0000 UTCI’ll post it here so I can remember it for the real post in March: The Wolf and the Dragon (working title): foreshadowing for the union of Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen in Winds/Dream. Reasons they will fall for each other, callbacks from previous lovers they will see in each other, what will be their downfall, how close did the show get in the final seasons, etc.

2020-02-05 18:19:17 +0000 UTCPatreon Episode Idea: Sigil Manifestation. How will the characters in WINDS and DREAM, especially the series endgame/final act, symbolize their house sigils? What kind of wolf will Arya be? What kind of lion is Tyrion? Is Sansa a mother protecting its den? Is Theon destined to rise again from the deep?

2020-02-05 18:03:33 +0000 UTCSuper minor comment, but the link to Ch.1 of the Fevre Dream chapter by chapter takes you to chapter 2. Also, thanks so much for bringing that book to forefront of my attention, I blazed through it in a week and I'm looking forward to listening the chapter by chapter.

2020-02-05 17:48:34 +0000 UTCPatreon episode idea: I know other people have talked about this, but I’d love to hear your take on what the Manderlys are up to! What exactly are they plotting? With who? What is Wyman playing at in Winterfell in ADWD? How did he make the Frey pies? Did he kill the Freys and bake them himself? (I have a lot of questions! But basically: the Manderlys.)
