You know this feeling when you find a new blog of tumblr and you just
know you have something special on your hands? That was it for me when I
found “A Collection of Unmitigated Pedantry”
by Bret Devereaux. The blog collects articles detailling how realistic
certain gear and events in fantasy are, mainly focussing on Lord of the
Rings and Game of Thrones, and while a lot of people are engaging in
this kind of stuff, Bret manages to actually provide a lot of useful
context without losing sight of what makes a good story.
Naturally,
I checked out the author, who teaches at the University of North
Carolina, and Bret kindly agreed to come on the show and talk to me
about all kinds of issues related to the middle ages and how they relate
to “A Song of Ice and Fire”. I feel we’ve only scratched the surface,
and already this is one of the longest “Boiled Leather Audio Hour”
episodes ever released, with a runtime of close to two hours.
I
hope you guys will enjoy the podcast! Many questions I asked in the
show were put forward in advance by our Patreons on
http://www.patreon.com/boiledleatheraudiohour, so if you’re not pledging
yet you can rectify this now, get access to the show early and
influence the topics of future shows, as well as access all kinds of
bonus material.
