Hello and welcome back to the NotACast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast going through A Song of Ice and Fire one chapter a week!

In this episode, Jon Snow gets some practical education from Qhorin Halfhand and some … weird education from his brother Bran.

This week, we:

- Continue on the march through the Frostfangs and point out the Tolkien influence on these Jon chapters

- Examine Qhorin Halfhand, his mentorship of Jon and why Jon has to learn and also reject Qhorin's teachings about the wildlings.

- Get into the weirwoods with Jon and Ghost and try to figure out what's happening in this weird-ass scene

- Talk about Dalbridge sacrificing himself and how this example inspires Jon for the rest of his arc

- Damn Jon's Season 2 arc and talk overall about Jon's story for all the books.

Next week: We're back in King's Landing with Tyrion and Cersei. Should be a fun time. (It's not).
