We believe that George R. R. Martin has put a lot of effort and thought into creating a deeper dimension of archetype and symbol in his writing. He’s created connections between past and future, between sky and ground.

    I have been an English Lit. professor for over 20 years, and I’ve been a big ole book nerd all of my life, and the whole time I read ASOIAF, I could only imagine how immersive the world could be as a canonical course for lit majors. George has filled the text with such rich lore, it deserves deep study … and then I found David Lightbringer on YT! It’s like he already wrote the entire textbook; now all we need to do is offer the course.

    The only bad part is that as David does more and more YT content, the podcast seems to be more and more neglected.
