UBS Podcast HotD 1×03 – Dance of the Crabs

Share This Post

Julia, Kylie, and Caroline watch episode 3 “Second of his Name” and get distracted by Mary Bennet and hairnets. This week’s Dornish rant is nothing compared to the discussion of symbolic stags and crab dances.

Listen below, subscribe/listen on iTunes (the newest episode is updated in the app, even if not on the site yet), subscribe to our RSS feed, search for “Unabashed Book Snobbery” in any podcast app, or download an MP3 of the episode here (go to ‘show all’).

The intro & outro saltarello is performed by Stary Olsa from their album “Liep​š​aje (The Best​)​”, which is available for purchase on Bandcamp.
