OH MY GODS

I'm as happy for our beloved podcast now as I was when they actually won the award! George knows your names, and he listens to you! And he's recommending you to the fandom!! I just died. :o

And he's being coy about the ManWoody! :lol:

Yeah, the guy who named a character Dickon Manwoody doesn't know why that's funny.

Cool to see an acknowledgement from Martin to one of the most venerable institutions in fandom.

I wonder which bits of the podcast George has listened to? There are so many that would be funny/embarrassing to choose from.

wow. simply awesome

regarding him not getting the fun in "manwoody" - he also asked elio once why everybody admires oberyn do much (gno3 i think). on the other hand: he could hardly say that he sometimes likes jokes for 12-year-olds.

Wow, this is really awesome! I know he already had a link to the podcast on his website, but this is much cooler! Congrats again, guys.

It's funny how he doesn't think he's met anyone from the podcast, but I guess it makes sense since there's no "Mike" listed as a host.

I like to think that the one or two times he cites aren't even Kyle.

Great to see that post from George 8-)

I met George ~3.5 years before the podcast was founded at a book signing. He wouldn't remember that, though.

I think that is really cool that GRRM took time out to acknowledge your achievement and post it on his Live Journal. I wonder what he thinks about all the dick jokes? Woot woot to House Manwoody!!!

It would've been awesome if he'd confirmed that the Fiddler was gay just to make fun of Kyle

Thanks for the good posts of support on LJ everyone. George does read most of the comments there even if he doesn't respond to every one, so it is good to have listeners posting their support as well.

Congratulations guys! That is awesome.

Also, Kyle's acceptance speech at the awards show was fantastic. Great job.

If anyone wants to hear George on the podcast the time to strike is now. Go to the link, to his blog .... comment. Show your support. The man checks his blog as he posted on the comments once already. Unfortunately just the hosts asking hasn't been enough to wrangle him.... if we all bombard the comments and ask in a positive way.... maybe we weasel an hour of his time.

Yea, as long as the posts are positive and respectful, that's a good idea. He likes reading comments, I think, and it is good to show our numbers in that particular link.
