Maester Monthly, your favorite (pseudo)monthly podcast, is back!Last month we kicked off 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 February (and late January) 2017. We introduce a new segment, the Unpopular Opinion Thunderdome, and debate the merits of A Feast for Crows – is it as Subtly Nuanced as some people claim? Finally, we round out the hour with an in-depth discussion of, fittingly, the Maesters and the Citadel.Your hosts are /u/Bookshelfstud, /u/glass-table-girl, and /u/JoeMagician; we’re joined this episode by Very Special Guest /u/MightyIsobel! https://archive.org/download/MaesterMonthlyE2TheCitadel/Maester%20Monthly%20E2%20TheCitadel.mp3As 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.LINKS TO THE PODCASTYouTubeiTunesWordPressPOSTS MENTIONED IN THE PODCASTRhaneys should have lived by /u/akimble1The Power of Confirmation Bias by /u/LifeOfPhiWhy was Robert’s Kingsguard so bad? by /u/RagnarGreystark, and the top comment on that post by /u/blackofhairandheart2Sandor Clegane the anti-knight and how GRRM is building up his character to fulfill (or perhaps deconstruct) the ‘dragonslaying knight’ trope by /u/7th_CuilTheon’s fourth encounter with a heart tree by /u/chadimmaculateBran failed a test when he met some new friends by /u/senatorskeletorTIMECODESIntroductionThe Modteam’s Favourite Planetos DestinationSubreddit HighlightsRhaneys should have livedSubreddit HighlightsThe Power of Confirmation BiasSubreddit HighlightsWhy was Robert’s Kingsguard so bad?Subreddit HighlightsSandor Clegane the anti-knightSubreddit HighlightsTheon’s fourth encounter with a heart treeSubreddit HighlightsBran failed a test when he met some new friendsUnpopular Opinion ThunderdomeThe Verdict on “A Feast for Crows”Main Topic The CitadelConclusion
