Monday May 29, 2023
The Fingers have had enough of Tarbean, and so has Kvothe. His mind reawakend by a story heard in a bar, Kvothe finds the motivation he needs to scrape some money together, clean himself up and find his way out of Tarbean. And he does it with his normal flair and creativity while encountering his share of heroes and villains along the way. This episode covers chapters 26-32.
We are just about 1/3 of the way through The Name of the Wind, the first book in The Kingkiller Chronicle and we hope you come along for the ride with us while we all await, The Winds of Winter!

Episode 142: Tarbean
Monday May 01, 2023
Monday May 01, 2023
The Fingers travel with Kvothe to Tarbean to get some new lute strings, and you faithful listeners are coming with us. Kvothe's mind is a terrifying place these days, and he is coping via copious lute playing, becoming a master that can compose new works and play through broken strings. But when his third string breaks he finds himself on the move to a place where he can get replacements, for the idea of existing with lute playing is ludicrous. But the city he finds, Tarbean, is unwelcoming and hard. In a rollercoaster episode full of helpful heroes and dangerous demons, Pat allows us to feel like we are right there, huddled with Kvothe in his place where the three roofs meet.
Our coverage of The Name of the Wind continues as we divert from ASOIAF for a time. We hope you enjoy the Kingkiller Chronicle as much as we are!

Monday Mar 06, 2023
Matt and Scad continue their coverage of The Kingkiller Chronicle, as Kote reluctantly contends with a guest who has figured out his identity, a guest that wants, nay demands, to tell Kvothe's story. After some fits and starts Kvothe dives in, and we learn about his early days with his family, his troupe. We also get details about Abenthy, Kvothe's first real teacher, who brings elements of magic, true magic and some a little less true, into Kvothe's world.

In our first episode covering The Kingkiller Chronicle, Davos’ Fingers is introduced to the mostly mild-mannered and seemingly regular Kote.

Episode 136: The Black Queen
Friday Oct 28, 2022
Friday Oct 28, 2022
House of the Dragon season one has come to an end and so does our coverage of it in episode 136: The Black Queen. Rhaenys has delivered the message of Viserys' passing to Dragonstone, and team Rhaenyra has to contend with a baby on the way, a usurped throne, a questionable roster of allies, and their own very conflicted emotions about an impending war and the loss of loved ones. Stretched thin, they use all the resources at their disposal as best as they can, but at what cost?
House of the Dragon might be over for now, but the Davos’ Fingers Podcast is going right back into it! We will see you back here for a new episode of Meet the Khalasar in three weeks as we leave the show behind and let the books take center stage as they should. Meet the Khalasar episodes dive into a single chapter with Matt, Scad and a single member of the Khalasar while also letting us all get to know that Bloodrider better. So come check out the podcast in three weeks for a brand new episode.

Episode 135: The Green Council
Friday Oct 21, 2022
Friday Oct 21, 2022
In episode 135 of the Davos' Fingers podcast, we unwrap the gift that is episode 9 of House of the Dragon: the Green Council. Viserys has passed and Alicent and the rest of the small council move swiftly to install Prince Aegon as the new King. What to do with Rhaenyra and Daemon is the only thing they can’t agree on, so the Greens bicker and argue without a King yet in place to make the final decision. Aegon’s coronation is a lovely event full of Targaryen heraldry and title, but two Queens are also intent on having their own thoughts heard regarding the Succession.
This is the penultimate episode of Davos’ Fingers coverage of House of the Dragon as the season only has one more episode remaining. So catch up with us next Friday for that final romp as we uncover what happened in the finale and spend some time prognosticating about what Season 2 may bring. With Fire and Blood as our guide, the Dragons after Dark segment will be full of spoilers as we look at what this season gave us, meld it with our knowledge of Fire and Blood, and try to predict the future. It is sure to be a blast! So come find us here or on the Davos’ Fingers Youtube channel for that episode.

Friday Oct 14, 2022
In episode 134, the Fingers of Davos sneak into a family occasion at the Red Keep as Vaemond Valaryon has forced the question of Velaryon succession on the Throne, counting on a favorable decision from Alicent and Otto to rule in his favor. But Rhaenayra and Daemon have convinced Viserys to rule in their favor, and Viserys makes it a point to show up for his daughter. Viserys has plans of his own, though, too. A plan to unite his family in a last, desperate dinner to bring all their conflicts to a conclusion and unite House Targaryen
We bring a new Davos’ Fingers episode every Friday. These episodes focus on the happenings of the previous House of the Dragon installment as well as a sneak peak at what next week’s episode may unveil. We make sure to cover each and every scene with our thoughts and insights before we look forward to what might be upcoming in our segment called Dragons After Dark. Using Fire and Blood and our own instincts as our guide, the Dragons After Dark segment lets Matt and Scad guess as to what might be coming down the pipe, based on our intuition and understanding of Fire and Blodd.
