Davos' Fingers - A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast

Episode 075: A Falling Dragon, A Shooting Star

In Episode 75, Matt and Scad embark on a journey through A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, a series of novelletes surrounding the wanderings and adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall and his bald squire known simply as “Egg”.  In this first episode, Dunk buries his only friend, and the knight he squired for, and begins his own journey of knighthood.  He makes his way to a tourney at Ashford Meadow, and is joined by Egg whom he takes as his new squire.  From there it’s all about getting in the jousting lists, buying armor that will fit him as he is a beast of a man, flirting with a puppeteer, learning about his potential jousting foes, and trying to stay out of way of nobles and princes.
Davos After Dark is still a thing, though you will hear us prattle on and on about what actually is a spoiler in this context.  In any event, we have done our best to avoid giving away any in-story spoilers in the main section of the cast, saving those for this special section at the end.  Also, pay attention for “Who’s That Dragon?”, a new little feature that lets us dive into a single Targaryen per episode.
Nothing has changed on at least one front:  we love hearing form the khalasar!  So shoot us an email at wearedavosfingers@gmail.com, find us on twitter @davosfingers, join us on facebook, or find our tumblr at davosfingers.com.  Last but not least, if you want to throw a couple bones our way, join us on Patreon at patreon.com/davosfingers.  
Selection Covered:  Our reading selection this episode covers roughly the first half of The Hedge Knight.  That is pages 5 through 67 in the paperback, culminating in the end of the first day of jousting. 
 

Episode 074: The Blood Before the Pain

The Davos’ Fingers podcast has come to the conclusion of our Feast/Dance re-read in Episode 074:  The Blood Before the Pain.  Tears of joy and tears of sorrow.  But we soldier on!  In this episode Sam and Gilly reach Oldtown amidst Ironborn reaving.  Kevan deals with a docile Cersei, quarrels on the small council, and a quarrel in his chest.  There is unrest in Mereen as Barristan tries to calm the murder in the streets and maintain the peace outside the gates.  Lastly, Daenerys stumbles away from her Dragon and vaguely in the direction of Mereen, but finds an old enemy instead.
We’d like to thank Game of Owns for their reading order, which we enjoyed thoroughly.  Though we have finished it, you can always find it on afeastwithdragons.com.
We still maintained our spoiler free path in the main portion of the cast for those worried about Winds of Winter spoilers, but stick around for what may be the final Davos After Dark if you want deeper speculation and spoilers.

Episode 073: Desperate Times...

The Davos’ Fingers Podcast would like to welcome you to the penultimate episode of Feast/Dance!! Inside, Cersei shamefully walks, Q stubbornly stumbles towards his fate, Tyrion jumps into life as a "sells word", Barristan dances the dance he knows so well, and Jon faces daggers, then staggers.

We have almost neared the end of the line, but there are still a few spoilers out there that will avoid until our special section:  Davos After Dark. At that point, ye be warned, there be spoilers in the dark.

Episode 072: A Good Day For a Death

In Episode 72, The Fearless Fingers spend some time in and around Mereen as Hizdahr gets ahead (get it?), Quentyn sets up an alternate route to accomplishing his goals, and Victarion goes on the warpath, capturing ship after ship.  Meanwhile, Asha braves the cold, a poor suitor, and some grisly pre-dinner entertainment and is rewarded with a reunion.  Finally Arya earns her stripes and changes her spots.

In Episode 70 Dany invites the enemy inside her walls (snort) as Hizdahr’s peace and Hizdahr’s piece are in need of some celebration.  But the celebration is short-lived as a winged guest interrupts the Fighting Pit festivities. Also, Theon and Jeyne take a leap of hope for a chance at a real life outside Ramsay’s clutches, Jon brokers peace with Tormund’s Freefolk while struggling to maintain peace in his own ranks, and Cersei confesses her sins...some of them...sort of.
