In this episode, your hosts and guest Ray, discuss what happens when different cultures meet, in ASOIAF and irl. We discuss migration, culture clashes, prejudice, racism, colonialism, and more! Along the way we conclude that both Viserys Targaryen and Jorah Mormont are the worst (albeit in different ways), and that the Free Folk makes a good parallel to climate refugees. We also chat with our guest about his journey through both the ASOIAF fandom and life in general!
