Monday May 29, 2023
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!
The Davos' Fingers podcast relishes being spoiler free. So you can listen along as you read this series for the first time wthout being spoiled. But for all those looking to peak ahead, we have Devi After Dark, a spoiler-filled segment at the end of our episodes.

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.

Monday Feb 06, 2023
In our first episode covering The Kingkiller Chronicle, Davos’ Fingers is introduced to the mostly mild-mannered and seemingly regular Kote. Then, of course, he becomes totally IRREGULAR and starts talking about demons and trying to hide his obviously prolific history from people. Oh, yeah, then he befriends a stranger on the road…a Chronicler...before executing a bunch of spider monsters…so enjoy!.

Friday Dec 16, 2022
Here it is! After a rousing episode with Matt, we have followed up with the Scadisode. So buckle in as Matt interviews Scad about his fandom positions and faves in a meet the Khalasar episode that reveals some of Scad's personal favorites and opinions in: Tyrion III of A Storm of Swords!

Episode 137: She Deserved More Than Darkness
Friday Nov 25, 2022
Friday Nov 25, 2022
Meet the Khalasar is back in Episode 137, but with a little twist! Scad interviews Matt with some deep dive questions so that we can all learn a little bit more about one of the best guys in the fandom. And he has picked a great chapter for us to unravel, and one we haven’t spoken about in a long long time: Eddard ONE of A Game of Thrones. In this chapter King Robert arrives at Winterfell and the two besties from childhood immediately isolate themselves for a trip down memory lane as Robert pays his respects to Lyanna. So join us as we tour the crypts of Winterfell and the recesses of Matt’s brain.
And what a brain it is. Inside you will get to learn a lot about Matt’s kids, his thoughts on what excites him about the future of ASOIAF, how he balances all of his many roles and communities in his life, and after 8 years of podcasting, we finally get him to toss in a little scripture for us. Matt knows how to give the people what they want!
Next up for the Fingers is probably easy to guess. Matt is going to return the favor and put Scad under the microscope while we delve into a chapter of his choosing. So join us in three weeks time for that. PLUS, more patreon content and fresh public episodes every three weeks coming at you in the New Year!
We love talking ASOIAF with its fans, so please come and play with us! You can find us on twitter @davosfingers, and also on Facebook. You can also shoot us an email at wearedavosfingers@gmail.com or support us through Patreon at patreon.com/davosfingers.

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.
We’d love to hear your thoughts about House of the Dragon, or about our coverage! Join us on twitter @davosfingers, or shoot us an email at wearedavosfingers@gmail.com, or find us on facebook! Recent coverage also available on Youtube! If you’d like to get access to special content and support the podcast, check us out on patreon at patreon.com/davosfingers.
