History of Westeros podcast has a Joanna Lannister episode. Came out last week. Have you heard it? What do you think?
@kingofthelannisterpride and @kieraembers and @goodqueenaly were also curious about whether I had listened to @historyofwesteros‘s Joanna Lannister episode.
I never listen to podcasts but my friend Ash @cruzmylene (she is part of the podcast) is always very, very nice to me, and she gave me a transcript before the episode. As Ash explained to me, Aziz was interested in being unbiased and exploring every possibility related to Joanna for the podcast, so of course he included things like A+J=T and discussions of A*rys/Joanna, which obviously aren’t my thing. (Is there anyone who is surprised about this? Nobody should be surprised here, I express my thoughts loudly and often.)
I think I interpreted various passages in TWOIAF differently from Aziz, and I have some unique ideas about Tywin and Joanna that I have never seen anyone anywhere on the internet express, so I think what I will do in the future is write another Joanna Lannister essay discussing my own interpretations. My previous long-form essay on Joanna was written well before TWOIAF was published, and it is grossly out of date.
Just from the transcript, I think Aziz did a great job and he was amazingly thorough. I just. Don’t like some of those theories though.
