Episode Details

In this episode we take you on a journey to meet very real people (à la Brandon Starks if he were a king or a hunter) who are saints and actual people who are saints (with or without boobies and visions) with a bonus festive saint and singing (no fire was started in the making of this episode).

We manage to parallel Septon Meribald and Gregor Clegan (and bonus Oedipus!) to the same saint, and also talk Pretty Meris, Melisandre, Mother Mole, Baelor the Blessed, Jeyne Poole and more. We even throw in how Valyria could have avoided the Doom. And cakes that are boob-shaped.

Join us on this trip and make this shortest day of the year if you're in the Northern Hemisphere longer (and bring extra light to it if you're in the Southern Hemisphere, and some cold because these candles are in Sweden)

Tell your friends and maybe your racist uncle who needs to be reminded borders are fake about us and leave us a flurry of stars and a review wherever you listen to this episode <3

You can also join us on Patreon and support our work + get some LOTR virgin read through reaction episodes in your ears (and even go as far as save the world!)

- Saint Julien le Pauvre (Saint Julian the Poor)

well, it's a Parisian mashup of a number of Saint Julians so maybe read on Julian the Hospitaller. And check out the church when you're in Paris!
