Episode 125: Poor Pyat Pree featuring Anne
Monday Jul 18, 2022
Monday Jul 18, 2022
This installment of Davos' Fingers features one of our longest tenured friends, Anne, or sweetyft as you might know her. It also features a pretty ancient chapter as well, reaching way back to Dany IV of A Clash of Kings, sometimes just referred to as the House of the Undying chapter. Dany dives headfirst into a magical maze of mages, culminating in a face off with the Undying themselves. With questionable but intriguing visions along the way, what is real, what is just drug-induced, and how much does it matter when Dany can't make sense of any of it when she gets out?
Regardless of what Dany can make sense of, we can all make sense of Anne's quality takes. We talk Ice and Fire Con, D&D and many other things as we all get to know Anne a little better. Please go chat with her, she is a pulls-no-punches delight.
Up Next for the Fingers is one more meet the Khalasar episode followed by a bit of a change of direction, so LOOK OUT!

Episode 124: Tales of the Nightfort with K2
Monday Jun 20, 2022
Monday Jun 20, 2022
The magical energy of K2 joins forces with Matt and Scad for Episode 124 wherein we talk about Bran and the scooby doo gang's visit to the legendary Nightfort! Jojen told them to come to this specific castle on the Wall, but the way is sealed, and now they are stuck here with a billion things that go bump in the night...including a big one that seems to be climbing the well where they are sleeping...
Don't sleep on K2 though! As always, she brings her friendly demeanor and positive energy to this episode and getting to know this master cake artist was the true highlight of the Episode. Give it a listen, then go find K2 on twitter, because she is a riot!
We recently released our Films Get Fingered Episode on Patreon, so go check that out. We had a blast fingering Rogue One: A Star Wars Story with several Bloodriders. More content on the way there as well as another Meet the Khalasar Episode to follow in July!

Episode 123: No One Had No Tears featuring Julie
Monday May 30, 2022
Monday May 30, 2022
In Episode 123, Bloodrider Julie adds her voice to Davos’ Fingers to dissect Arya’s time at the House of Black and White as The Blind Girl. It’s a sensual delight of a chapter as we learn to see Arya’s world through her ears, nose, and mouth. She goes about her daily chores, learns how to live (and fight) without her sight, and learns the secrets of Braavos as Beth the Blind Girl. But it's Arya’s progress as a skinchanger that makes this chapter really sing.
And Beth makes us sing as well. With her positive outlook and energy, her passion for all sorts of music and her deep love of the fandom, Juliebeth is a bright light on the episode, and getting to know this longtime Bloodrider better was a real treat.
Over on Patreon we will be having a live Hangout to discuss Rogue One: A Star Wars Story in June, with more Wheel of Time (TV show) coverage and special episodes coming along as well. So check us out there at patreon.com/davosfingers.
We love A Song of Ice and Fire, and we love it when we hear from others that share that connection. So drop us a line.

Episode 122: The She-wolf and the Leech Lord featuring StefLyoness
Monday Mar 14, 2022
Monday Mar 14, 2022
Stef joins the fingers for Episode 122 and it is a riot. Making our way to Arya for the first time in our Meet The Khalasar cycle is a treat with Stef along for the ride. In this episode Arya is stuck as cup-bearer to Roose Bolton and a LOT is weighing on her young mind. Should see stick it out here with an impending regime change, or strike out on her own against a sea of troubles. Neither it turns out, as she still has some friends left, friends who join her.
Arya is in a tight spot in this chapter, but Stef brings her humor and diverse experiences to the table to help us uncover the gems inside this chapter. And as usual, simply getting to know a new friend is the best part of the Meet The Khalasar process. Come meet StefLyoness if you haven't already!
We are in the thick of A Song of Madness 2022 and as such. we are just taking a couple weeks off of the normal episodes as it wades into the heavy portion. But we will be back shortly with more episodes for you!

Epiosode 121: Burning the Hand That Feeds You
Monday Feb 21, 2022
Monday Feb 21, 2022
The Fingers of Davos are joined by Litbringer Mandy for a burnin down the house Episode 121, literally. Cersei III of AFFC features a Cersei struggling to maintain her grip on power and on her sanity and on her sense of self, all culminating in setting a mighty blaze to the Tower of the Hand. A month or two removed from her eldest son's death at the Purple Wedding, Cersei is now confronted with marrying off her second son to the same woman, Margaery Tyrell. Still in mourning and seeing threats in every shadow, this truly turns into Cersei's no good, very bad day. But a resolved Cersei sets the Tower of the Hand on fire using the alchemist substance, wildfire, and burning away her fear and paranoia, filling her with a sense of resolve, and flushing out any rats that may still be hiding inside its many hidden pathways.
But it wasn't a no good, very bad day for Matt and Scad because they get to know Mandy a bit better. A positive force and the creative energy behind the Litbringers, Mandy gives us insight into herself and the Litbringers. It was a delight to share the episode with her as A Song of Madness nears its opening whistle.
We will be back in 3 weeks with yet another Meet the Khalasar episode, we are continuing to release special episodes on the I Am Mercury series by Grant Piercy and The Wheel of Time Amazon series to Patrons.

Episode 120: Bewitched featuring Bloodrider Gene
Monday Jan 31, 2022
Monday Jan 31, 2022
In Episode 120 Matt and Scad are joined by Bloodrider Gene to talk Sans…er…Alayne 1 of A Feast for Crows. In this chapter, found smack dab in the middle of AFFC, we find Alayne also in the middle of a pretty drastic personal journey. She is doing her level best to please her new “dad”, keep young Robert mollified, and prepare the Eyrie for the Lords Declarant all while maintaining her grip on her sense of self. These Lords have been making life a bit difficult for Petyr, blocking supplies from reaching them on the mountain, and insisting that Robert and the Vale be returned to friends.
Gene doesn’t make life difficult for the Fingers though. Instead, he is a delight and learning more about him was the best part of our chat. Settle in as Gene provides some moving personal stories and gives us some info about how he found the fandom.
This is our first episode of 2022, but we will be back with more Meet the Khalasar next month. On Patreon we have kicked back into gear with Grant Piercy’s I Am Mercury series. So go join us there to unlock film reviews, special episodes and other gems!

Episode 118: Sphinxes, Dragons, and Darker Things featuring Lo
Monday Nov 29, 2021
Monday Nov 29, 2021
In Episode 118, Lo the Lynx joins the Fingers of Davos to follow Pate through the twisty and misty streets of Oldtown to meet his fate during the AFFC prologue. But first we learn about Oldtown, Pate's infatuation with Rosey, and about his “friends” as well, including one Sphinx: Alleras. Pate has been up to no good to obtain a single Golden Dragon so that he can make Rosey "his" (blech, I just threw up a little in my mouth), committing a crime that has his future looking pretty murky.
But our guest from the Khalasar has been up to LOTS of good as they bring the expert analysis we knew we could count on about Pate, yes, but lots of other things too as we got to know Lo quite a bit better. As usual, it was a joy!
Khalasar, we are here for you. Need to vent about the series or life during the stressful Holiday season? Well, find us and tell us all about it! ASOIAF fans find us easiest on twitter @davosfingers.

Episode 117: Father with Bloodrider Kyle
Monday Nov 08, 2021
Monday Nov 08, 2021
In episode 117 we spend a majority of the time within Jaime's head as he stands vigil for his father's funeral. That is right, Tywin is dead and almost 200 pages later, we are still burying him. And he is stanky. But bloodrider Kyle is less than stanky, and he brings the analysis on this chapter like non other. From the brotherly relationship while Jaime is freeing Tyrion, to the ghostly father/son dynamics that show very clearly the power dynamic between Tywin and his children. This one goes deep on the feelings and emotions, so strap in.
As always, however, the best part of these episodes is when we get to know our guests a little better, so hold on to your hats and enjoy as we all learn a bit more about Dent and how he found the fandom!
