In this episode, I promise I don't hate Dany's chapter nearly as much as I proclaim. I was just battling an oncoming asthma attack and getting frustrated with my inability to speak. Please bear with me.

Review Contest Info
Hey Symposium listeners! Have you ever listened to our ASOIAF coverage and wanted to chime in live with your thoughts or wanted us to cover a property of your choice?
Introducing the Symposium Review Contest! The contest is open now and closes on August 31, 2026.
Here's how you can enter: Leave us a 5-star review on any pod-catcher and send us a screenshot to earn an entry. You can leave reviews on as many platforms as you want and each screenshot counts as an entry.
If you want an extra incentive, every review you submit on or before April 30, 2026 will be counted as 2 entries.
If you win, you get to pick one of the following 3 options:
Option 1: Join us for a ASOIAF wrap-up episode after we have read ADWD.
Option 2: Get us to watch or read or otherwise consume a piece of media to cover on the podcast.
Option 3: Same as Option 2 but you get you also be on the podcast with us.
We will have a minimum of 2 winners. One winner will be the person who earned the most entries. And a second winner will be chosen through random draw. If interest is high, a third winner may be chosen.
So, folks, get those reviews in on or before August 31, 2026! We look forward to chatting in Fall of 2026!
