Davos' Fingers - A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast

Episode 145: Banned

Well the Fingers have certainly stumbled into a Tavern Tale, though Kvothe might disagree. This episode moves FAST. Kvothe gets to teach his first lesson at the University (you didn't misread that), gets punished and rewarded for it (you didn't misread that either), then gets his wounds tended to, but then opens a new wound himself by disobeying a serious rule of the University. If only he had figured out that 4-plated DOOR first!! So much happens to Kvothe so quickly, sometimes you just want to tell him to slow down, but here we are!
 
Matt and Scad have really hit their stride in their coverage of The Kingkiller Chronicle weaving pop culture and their personal lives in with some in-depth analysis of the text. Like listening to two friends chat about something you love, come join us!
 
The Davos' Fingers Podcast is spoiler free during its coverage of The Name of the Wind, so listen in safe in the knowledge that we won't discuss beyond the chapters at hand. That is until we reach our spoiler section: Devi After Dark at the end of the episode.

Episode 144: New Friends, New Enemies

In Episode 144*, the Fingers follow Kvothe into Imre and further into the depths of the University.  Inside, we get a cultural education about the University, and we meet the Masters that control admissions.  Kvothe must work some Kvothian magic to be admitted, but once he is, we get to meet some new friends and some new enemies.  Kvothe is at the University at last; where he thinks he belongs, and that is something to celebrate.
 
We are just under 1/2 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!  It is a rich text by a fantastic author, and you should definitely give it a try!

Episode 142: Tarbean

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!

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.

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.
