Chase is officially in B&W? Was there an announcement?

No, but the moving of his pic to the past hosts section was pretty symbolic. Does that mean we all have to scheme for his slot now?

They once spoke in a podcast about not revealing why hosts leave, with one exception about a tree falling on someone's house.

chase is no longer part of the podcast crew. poe is correct, we don't make announcements or explanations for past hosts (except ben, RIP). there are no plans for recruiting a sixth member for the podcast.
that's really all i have to say on that subject.

Noooooo! Chase was the only one I could count on to get really upset about the important things like hair color. His departure is an epic misfortune.

Awww. I suspected this, and I'm saddened to see it confirmed. I will miss his input a ton.

That really sucks. Fucking WiC comment posting douchebags! Its too bad. Chase was a great piece to the podcast puzzle and He will be missed. Hopefully he will make a return if not permanently then as a guest host or something.

Damn I'm going to miss him. His recommendations got me into reading a few book series that I really enjoyed too.

Since it's not the reason, can you say what those comments were? I generally don't read them.

After Chase first appeared as a guest host I said to myself "they need to get him back as a permanent member." I was glad he did. Good luck with whatever you're wasting your time doing now Chase.

I'm guessing once you have been around for a few years, you have to 'honor' some traditions.

Leaving any sort of group is a usually a pretty touchy and/or personal topic. Since this is a podcast, they don't have the option of just citing "creative differences" Keeping it quiet is probably the most prudent course of action.

That has nothing to do with taking themselves seriously, and everything to do with some respect. You don't talk about people behind their back/when they can't respond. The closer the lol to text ratio of a post is to 1, the quality of a post drops to zero.

Well, I guess all those political analysts and historians must be going to hell then. That was weak, man. :/ Chase was a valuable asset to the podcast, especially considering that I remember him being quite critical of HBO's adaptation of the books. His removal from the podcast can only indicate that its other members couldn't stand any deviation, and preferred the podcast to be a jerkoff fest with everyone agreeing with each other. Stupid. P.S.

LOL.

Yeah Mimi really isn't the kind of person to shy away from criticism. After all, how many times has she snuggled up to such terms as 'shocking lack of knowledge' or 'sour circle of spite'? The entire APOIAF has been shit on by the ASOIAF web community since its birth, and none of them have really let it sway them from their chosen course. I wasn't there, but I'd believe Mimi kicked Chase off of the podcast for having a different opinion than her about as soon as I'd believe that Joffrey was Robert's trueborn son. Give her, and her chosen co-hosts some credit. They've eaten plenty of shit sandwiches, a few lemoncakes would taste sweet by comparison. Most likely Chase had other things he wanted to do or else, like many other former hosts before him, simply chose to stop doing it for his own personal reasons.
