645: Is The Winds of Winter coming?

from Close the Door: Game of Thrones, A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast

Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. ‘The Mad King’ has been delayed for a week, so how is an A Song of Ice and Fire podcast to fill an empty schedule slot? You guessed it—time to check in on George R. R. Martin and the state of The Winds of Winter in the year of our Lord 2026. The news isn’t good—or is it? Opinions are split. While George drops big spoilers and tells stories about Frank Herbert being over Dune, Ira Parker claims the man is actively working on more Dunk and Egg. What is the truth, George? We talk about when GRRM was seen last in public, our personal interactions with him over the years, his blog silence, and whether we think the portents are good or ill for TWoW in 2027. Join us to read the tea leaves of blog posts and offhand GRRM quotes, with a smattering of Jaime and Brienne predictions and theories. A Song of Ice and Fire. Is The Winds of Winter coming?
