Hey Gang,

I’m curious on what you all think is an ideal podcast duration. If you can answer this quick poll it would be valuable.

Hey Guys,

It seems there was a fire at one of Archive.org’s scanning center. They are trying to rebuild and so are asking for Donations.

VOK, BOK and now even APOIAF rely heavily on archive.org to host and distribute our podcasts. I’m very grateful to them for this service.

The Internet Archive is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that was founded to build an Internet library. Its purposes include offering permanent access for researchers, historians, scholars, people with disabilities, and the general public to historical collections that exist in digital format

They have a noble mission. So this holiday season, if your feeling charitable , think about donating to archive.org.

The original “OzMoot Four”: Marius, Bina, Duncan and Jessica!

Well, lords and ladies, the first ever OzMoot was held last night, in a comfy little cocktail bar off Spring Street, in the Melbourne CBD. Four vassals were in attendance: two Aussies (Valkyrist and jesicka309), one Romanian (marius), and one Brit (Bina007). We drank blood-red wine, feasted on sausage rolls and lemoncake, shared stories and theories beneath the imaginary flag of House Manwoody… and then dispersed back into the night. It was a really amazing time, and very cool to finally meet some other forum members in person.

It’s a shame we couldn’t record something for the podcast, because we had a pretty long and in-depth discussion of the books. Unfortunately, the bar was too loud, and my iPhone simply wouldn’t have been able to capture anything. However, I’ve wracked my brains, and recapped as much of our ASOIAF discussion as I can recall in the link below.

The full thread can be found here, complete with a list of a crazy theories we settled on, and the rest of the photos.
