Hi! We are Ragman’s Harbour, the official podcast of the Planetosi Exchange Programme, a new podcast dedicated to discussing real-life historical and cultural parallels to ASOIAF, from a non-Anglo perspective.
Because we, Virginie and Lo, come from non-English speaking countries although we use English as our common language

In this episode, your hosts take you on a trip all the way to the Early Middle Ages and back, to discuss queens of France and Sweden -a couple each, no one is jealous! And also Cercei, a lot. Somehow. And ask the real question: is Catelyn the most medieval character of ASOIAF?
Tell your friends and even your enemies about this episode, and if you liked what you hear, leave us a firework of stars and rave about us in a review on your podcast app of choice.
Also, check out our Patreon where our first actual bonus episode drops in a couple of days! Virginie reads the first chapters of LOTR for the first time, you do not* want to miss it! (*or maybe you do) (up to you!)

Virginie feels right at home, after a whole episode 14 without Middle Ages and talks about Queen (Sainte) Radegonde:

(and then she makes light of Macron killing democracy because Lo inspired her and it takes away some of the pain)
