## Resource

Hello and welcome to the NotACast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast going through A Song of Ice and Fire! In this episode, special guest Michael joins us as Brienne meets Septon Meribald, who casually drops the best monologue in the story: the Broken Man speech. Next time: we return to Braavos for AFFC, Samwell III, in which you'd think Sam would be better off now that he's back on dry land, but somehow things keep getting worse.
