Episode 116: Let Us Do Our Duty with Megan

In episode 116, Matt and Scad chat with Bloodrider Megan as we return to Sansa, whom we haven’t covered since the first episode of Meet the Khalasar.  And it gets deep here, folks as we are covering Sansa III from ASOS, a chapter in which Sansa’s hopes and dreams are dashed to the ground (again), she is forced to marry a Lannister and suffers trauma at every turn.  Megan dives into the fray with some expert analysis on this chapter as we plumb the depths of the mental warfare the Lannisters are waging.  But as always, the best parts of these episodes is getting to know a bloodrider a bit better.  Learning more about Megan was a delight, and we know you will all enjoy getting to know per as well.
We will be continuing the Meet the Khalasar series very soon, but the next episode won’t be released until early November as we have some conflicts over the coming weeks.  We will see you then!

Episode 111: Death and Disquiet featuring Marcus

Marcus joins the Fingers for this episode covering one of his favorite chapters:  A Ghost in Winterfell.  Together, we dive into the mysteries presented in this chapter where bodies start turning up without explanation and conflicts arise without need for explanation. Mystery is afoot, but so is psychological trauma.  So buckle in for a headier chapter of ASOIAF.  Also, we get to know Marcus, a possibly lesser known soul in the fandom, but his soul is that of a poet.  Listen in to be dazzled like we were!

Episode 109: Someone Always Tells with Bobbie

Someone Always Tells, and I am here to tell you that this episode featuring Bloodrider Bobbie is a delight.  We delve deeply on The Princess in the Tower chapter of A Feast for Crows.  Just how impatient is Arianne?  Just how patient is Doran?  And what is the actual underlying conflict in this chapter that is far more important than the insurrection attempted by Arianne in the deserts of Dorne.  In this chapter, we learn a lot about what really drives Arianne as she approaches madness brought on by her solitude.  We also get to know Bobbie a lot better, and such a joy it was!  Listen to the Doctor dive in with some special insights about about what George gets right medically!

Episode 108: Renly's Peach with Justin

Justin joins Matt and Scad for Episode 108 where we meet the feisty Ser Cortnay Penrose and deal with some of Stannis’ inner demons, maybe even his shadow.  Stannis seeks surrender from a force well-protected behind the massive walls of Storm’s End, but Ser Cortnay isn’t having it.  However, Stannis has Melisandre, a priestess of R’hllor, on his side and is willing to resort to...other methods.  We spend the other half of the episode learning about our friend Justin.  A family focused lover of Batman and Star Wars, Justin fits right in!
